7 stops. 379 miles. It’s pouring hard outside.
They want me to sign a one year contract. The contract is super simple, all it says is: "Our training costs ~$14,800, and we require you to complete 12 months of employment. If you do not complete 12 months of employment, we reserve the right to seek legal restitution for the cost of the program." Now I have no idea if I will want to compete a full year with this company or not. I'm curious how binding a contract like this really is, or if it is even lawful at all.
If a company is sponsoring my CDL, does that mean that they do the road test, or do I need to take it at the DMV? If I get my CDL in Florida, does that mean I can only get hired by a company that has a location here? Sorry for the questions, but Youtube and Google weren't being as clear as I needed.
I was thinking about Mills company training - Does anyone know anything about them? The school is 2,500 which seems cheaper than most. Thanks 😁😁

Anyone know of places that hire on the spot ? Got my permit ,was excited to start with TMC and then was told can you lift 80-100ib tarp. (Wipes tear ,DAMN YOU TARP). I’m 5,3 125ibs. So back to the drawing board,called yellow,xpo, swift,Werner,etc. Looking to get paid while training and needing a ride there ,with provided meals and having the option to pay the tuition cost back while working ,with at least a 6month-1year contract. Any recommendations for companies?
First and foremost, you must get a driver's license for the kind of vehicle you intend to use for delivery work. A regular but still valid driver's license will be taken into consideration for delivery driving employment if you plan to use a light goods vehicle truck for your deliveries.
However, if you want to drive a heavy goods vehicle truck, you must have a commercial driver's license. I would advise getting a state-issued ID card or a passport as a bare minimum, as you are legally obligated to provide evidence of identification to any new employment. A state ID can be obtained without a diving license.
To increase your work options, get your Class A CDL and, at the very least, the tanker endorsement. The hazmat and doubles/triples endorsements are advantages, however, the majority of trucking businesses that want these two endorsements also demand more years of experience.
Driving a commercial vehicle is the only experience that trucking firms would accept, with a preference for local or long-distance driving. There is absolutely no other option, but thankfully, many businesses recruit drivers with no prior experience.
So I went through a CDL school in Wisconsin. The examiner tells me that he puts the paperwork in the system and then I need to go to my home state to get a hard copy of my CDL.
So I went through a CDL school in Wisconsin. The examiner tells me that he puts the paperwork in the system and then I need to go to my home state to get a hard copy of my CDL. I am in Florida, and I went down to the DMV after 3 days of getting tested out and the DMV says they don't have any info on my license. The guy at the DMV asks me if I took the test on a manual or automatic. Doesn't the paperwork state which I took the test on, manual of automatic? Would like to say, "manual", even though I didn't. And yes, I have driven a manual for years but let my license expire.
Hi this is my first post on newjobs4you and it's actually a question. I recently went through a CDL program with a smaller well-known company I've had my CDL before but back in 2003
Hi this is my first post on newjobs4you and it's actually a question. I recently went through a CDL program with a smaller well-known company I've had my CDL before but back in 2003 I did not receive the proper training but the state of Texas went ahead and gave me my CDL fast forward to now 2022 small minor company put me through training I could not get my 90° back during my third and final practice CDL test and they let me go now I cannot find a job or a driving company that will hire me or train me to God at the company I worked with for two weeks and 3 days Told Me Maybe the program was too fast-paced for me and I needed more training for my 90° back mind you I've had my CDL was tinker and HazMat endorsement when I lived in Texas I've been in New York for 6 years now and I called and fill out applications for all the mega couriers to have page TV or training but none of them want anything to do with me I don't want to put the name of the company where I attended orientation training because they did what they could do I'm just wondering if anyone here has experienced anything like this and how did you overcome it and if anyone else has any of your ideas because I really would like to get back into driving a truck for a living ,
The trucking school I'm going to wants to do almost all truck training in a simulator insted of on the road in a real tractor and trailer. What are your thoughts on this?

Driving a passenger car is easier than driving a truck because there are many nuances to it. Trucks are clumsy and heavy, and most accidents with them lead to terrible consequences. Naturally, the driver of the truck should be a professional so as not to create dangerous situations on the road. In order to adequately learn the theory of truck driving and good practice, it is necessary to apply to an official driving school. If you learn driving from ordinary drivers, then later you can make a lot of mistakes, which can cost the life of the driver and other people. That is why drive with a professional trainer.
