Profile For David P.

Thanks for all the advice/info. I've narrowed it down between Millis & USA Truck. I've contacted both who have offered to sponsor my schooling. Millis wants $500 from me upfront but I really think I like what they have to offer most so far so. Anyone have any experience with Millis? Good or bad? I'm looking to commit by the end of this week. Thanks again, David

I would like some advice on weather to use a recruiting service such as DRS or to just go with a company that offers their own training? I don't mind the fact of having to sign a contract and pay the tuition back so I'm definitely wanting to go with company sponsored training. I've studied the CDL training manual and aced all the pretest. I'm going to get my permit next week. I really want to attend one of the driving schools here in NC so I can commute. DSR has told me that I can do so. I'm just looking for any cons that anyone has experienced using them or any pros of choosing a company over having DRS place me with one. I'm looking to haul dry freight, as regional as possible(east coast)and DSR is saying they can place me with a company that can accommodate these type of runs? I've read some blogs of drivers being placed with company's that required them to run teams to the west coast after being promised a different type of run. I understand this is a large career move and do not want to get whodood in the first step. I'm still searching for companies that will accommodate the type of run I'm looking for and also let me train here in NC?

Thanks! I've been reading and studying Brett's site for a little over a week now. Super informative. It's actually delayed my career change into the trucking industry(in a good way) by offering so much info and SO MANY different opportunities that I'm not sure which way to turn. I have decided to ditch the driver recruiter service at CDLTrainingNow.com and have narrowed my choices down to 2 or 3 companies that offer training. Thanks again for your advice
