Have you thought of pulling a tanker.

When I trained, I was put up in a hotel every night, no sleeping in a truck with trainer. $100.00/day training. Paid travel to and from orientaion. Paid hotel in orientaion and it's all been uphill from there.

BIG PAPA DONT KEEP APPLYING TO THE SAME COMPANIES! WAIT TILL U START SCHOOL PUT THE APPS. IN @ SCHOOL. I KNOW SOME CO. WILL TURN U DOWN IF U KEEP APPLYING AND NEVER ACCEPT THEIR OFFER IF GIVEN ONE!!!! GOOD LUCK PRIME INC. NEEDS YOU!!! :shock:

thanks ohio joe for the advice, I only applied at schneider and prime again before I decided to go locally when I tried to call and check status and sat on hold for long periods of time it frustrated me and that's when I decided to go locally to school. I figured that when I start applying while in school and the companies know im on my to my cdl it will be easier to get an offer. ill hold off applications to companies probably until week 3 of school
