Thanks for all the info! I have let them know that until I get it in writing I will not be attending. Now I am assuming that even if Millis has less miles per run the 40 cpm will even out versus C.R.s 24 cpm? Or are there factors in pay I'm not taking into account?

Hello All.

I was just wondering if I could get some opinions on company CDL schools. Right now I have an offer from Millis and C.R. England. Normally after looking at C.R. Englands financing I would just go with Millis, however I was told by the recruiter that, for whatever reason, C.R. would waive my admission fee and forgive the just-shy-of-4k school cost after nine months of driving for them. Is this on the up and up? When would be the time to get that in writing? I assume I want that promise in writing, yeah?

What are there haul lengths? What one will pay better? Any POSITIVE things to say about either company? I understand that I can ask a recruiter theses questions...and I have, but a healthy distrust of sweet words and big trucks hasn't killed me yet!

Thanks guys. I'm going with Millis PJ, congrats to you too.

Now this may be a stupid question but do I take the tests for the endorsements at the same time I test for my permit or when I test for my cdl? And since it appears Millis is mostly regional and dedicated if I wanted to move to a different company later on would it count as otr experience, or would I be viewed as a new driver?

Well hello everyone. I've been browsing this site for about a while now and never really felt like chiming in until now. See I got a call a day ago from a trucking company to attend there CDL training (which I learned about from this site btw). Now my options are to leave mid November or an undetermined date in January. Now is 2 weeks enough time to get the cdl permit and dot medical or would I be better off waiting until January? Is there any thing I need to know? Anything you could tell me would be helpful.

Thanks
