Semi interested in getting CDL :-)
Hello everyone :-D I’m interested in getting my CDL but I’m not sure which school I should go to. I’ve read online that Swift & C R England will pay for your CDL class & training but you will have to sign a contract. C R England contract is 12 months & Swift is 26 months. What’s making it even harder to choose are the reviews online. It seems like there’s one positive review after reading 20 negative reviews then it continues to repeat. Also I’ve worked as a RSS & seen firsthand how some companies treat their truck drivers. Some allowed MRT on steer tires, trailer tires on the tractor or just retreads or repair only no new tires. A lot of drivers I spoke with were overly thankful or sounded defeated….writing this I see I have a lot to think about. My main reason for wanting a CDL is my dad. He’s retiring soon & plans to buy 1 or 2 dump trucks. He doesn’t like women doing “men” jobs but until my brother gets his driver’s license I wanted to help out. I like that these companies pay for your CDL but if there are better companies to work for then I can try to pay out of pocket. All feedback is welcomed. Thanks in advanced :)
