when your ready for a raise and real benefits remember emp num 30528
slow trucks don't mean little checks....
Dude, bitterness is unbecoming. The topic was company sponsored training, not JB Hunt recruiting lingo. Just because you're the
one JBH driver in this country that gets 3000 miles a week and gets home on weekends, you really shouldn't think everybody else is stupid. I get the calls every week from the JB's too.
Up to $1,000 a week,
up to 48 hours off, etc. etc. Nail them down to a number and you find out they're full of it.
If I've spoken with a bunch of JBH drivers that are struggling to make ends meet, I'm sure you have too, so it's a little disingneuous to try to tell these new drivers that what you're doing is somehow representative of what JBH offers. It's great that you found the place that makes you happy, but seriously man, let the CFI thing go. Whatever left you so bitter about it, you got your three months of experience and it all worked out for you.
On the actual topic, as was mentioned earlier, you pay $1,000 and have no strings attached. I know that I personally spent $4,000 in Detroit to get my own CDL. Had I known that you could get the subsidy from a company but without the strings (like Schneider, England, et al. would attach) I would have given it a serious look.
