Help, SEC driving school
I'll try to be brief, I need some advice.
I'm an experienced truck driver, who has been out of driving since 2000. I want to get back into it because I have college loans up the butt and I can't find a decent-paying job. I live in Jackson, Mississippi and there's a driving school here called SEC. They feed KLLM Carriers and Swift. They have a refresher course for CDL-A licensed drivers like me for $1,500. First of all, I don't want to work for Swift or KLLM. But I do want to get back on the road. Is SEC a good deal for a 13-day refresher course? Is it accredited? I didn't really get a good answer from the company rep when I asked about accreditation. She just said she could help me find a job. So anyone have any experience with SEC driving school down here in Jackson? Anyone have any other advice that might apply to my situation? I have a clean driving record and no felonies or misdemeanors. I appreciate any help. |
A few questions if you do not mind.
Do you still have your Class A CDL? How much experience did you have before coming in off the road? |

Everyone has a college degree these days. Decent paying jobs are hard to find. Student loans are hard to pay off. the last year I drove OTR, I made like $41,000. Today I make $27,000 at a crummy job and I have no insurance. I have no family, few friends here, and I'm just plain ready to leave. I have my CDL, Class A. I've always made sure to renew it, and I have medical card.[/list] |
