Topic 13703 | Page 5
Lol yea a buddy of mine applied as well, was hoping to see you guys in little rock. It's worth the wait in my opinion but there are plenty of good companies out there where you get a good start in your career.

He applied for student or rookie driver? If student , he is also in the waiting list like me? Yeah! Hoping to meet one of the member here it'd be cool!! Theres plenty but not all actually hire in my state. Like TMC, they dont hire student from Oklahoma :-/ KLLM also, you need to be a resident of TX! So Idk I gues I just have to hold on..
I am opting for the private school option because of that, if I get my CDL from a private school I can then work for whichever company I want :)

If I have extra cash with me to pay for private school the I will for sure go for that option. Going to private school will open ur selection to more company with out signing a contract. So if you think thats the best for you then go for it!
Update - Recruiter called today and put me to alternate spot. I'm still in the waiting list but closer to get in if someone back out for April Class. Monday , she will call back to give me all the itinerary for orientation. Atleast its moving!! I'm still doing regular work out after work to improve agility skills :-)

Great news :) hopefully you can get in soon. I have been out of work so I qualify for the state grant, that helps. I know for Central Tech they offer a loan through Wells Fargo that seems pretty good. Something like no payment or interest for six months, and pretty reasonable interest after that.
