I am considering Schneider and AIT in Vegas.
Any grads from Vegas School that can offer feedback? Spoke to a recruiter there and they wanted to interview me first to see if truck driving was for me. Did they interview the rest of you? What was the interview like? Sounds like a 4 month course Bornandraized. What is the tuition for AIT? Why did you choose to pay AIT when Schneider will train you for that 1yr contract or $3500 in their 14 day class? The obvious is AIT appears to go at a comfortable pace to learn vs. Schneiders intense training. Thanks for any help..

Yeah, its a 4 month course.
Sorry for the late reply! The reason for me chosing AIT is that it is the #1 school here in AZ, and also a lot of carriers that dont hire students WILL hire AIT graduates!!! Shoot, on my 2nd week of school I was getting something in the mail almost 3-4 times a week from carriers wanting to hire me! Tuituion is a whoping $7,600.00 but MOST carriers will pay back all or most of that, so, all in all, its kinda free! I HAVE but only 2 WEEKS LEFT!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! I am so anxious to get out there Im about ready to crap my pants!!! :shock: SMX Flatbed is still my company of choice! they starting me out at .33 cents per mile, and have everything I am looking for in a company! Im ready! I got most of my stuff. -New Laptop with some cool wardriving accesories, :twisted: and Co-pilot Truck software. -CB Radio (old cobra classic 29) -Sirius sattelite radio. -Lunch box heater thingy -and a floppy eared Plott hound dog. (my true co-pilot) -all I need to get now is a new fridge (I have one but it kinda sucks) Im gonna try to keep a log on here like so many others have, I really enjoy reading them and have learned a lot from others experiences! Truck on People, and see ya soon!
