Celadon/Quality Drivers
Topic 325 | Page 2
Quality Drivers this is the website. Last time I looked there wasnt alot of info, but its a start. Their FB has alot of info. Search quality drivers. Their phone number is 317-972-7000 There isnt a whole lot of info out becouse its new and they are just now getting the word out.
do you think my transcripts would help me in that situation? I also don't have 3 years of job history. But I do have school.
I have no idea, maybe!! It wouldnt hurt to tey. Call them. Give them a call.
I made it to Celadon. The Dorms are full so I got put in a hotel. Got a microwave, fridge, cable flatscreen tv, and a comfy pillow top mattress. NICE!! I gotta get on the shuttle at 6:45 so I can have breakfast at school. Before orientation at 8:30. Good night ya'll. P.S. Little Carolina I will do my very best to answer any questions you have.

Oh I am so happy for you!! Please keep me posted.. I am going to call them today I did my application but not sure how long it will take for them to look at it. I pulled all of my transcripts and federal loan information so I at least can prove what I've been doing.. I also got 3 reference letters from people that know me.
Today is my first day. I tell you what they know how to take care of their drivers. I am stuffed. Started off with a big breakfast cooked at the school, met our teacher who is nice and then we did a whole lot of highlighting of the Indiana CDL manual. Then lunch time a big luch then more highlighting, met the man who runs the school. He is very nice guy did more highlighting trying to go over what will be on the test. We had a big dinner and headed back to the hotel. They are really professional here. We have our physicals tomorrow.

Peebles,
I've been checking out the info you provided. Is this school you're going to Celadon's school or is it a third-party school that contracts with Celadon?
I'm presuming you have to go back to your home state to test and actually get your CDL when the school is over?
This sounds like a really good deal for those that are short on fundage!
Unfortunately I don't know much about Celadon either.

HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
No it is a part of Celadon. Kind of like Premier is a part of CR England. I will test here in Indy like I did before. After 90 days Celadon will send me to Ky to have it transfered.
Today I took my first practice test using really cool clickers. Kind of like in a game show. I made a 90. Not too shabby. I am now finishing up my physical. I need new exam and glasses, but I still passed. They are trying to find out if my permit from January is still good. If it isnt I will have test again. I aint worried though I got this :-)
It sounds like things are off to a great start!!! I love it that Celadon opened their own school and made a big, long-term commitment to it. The more opportunities new drivers have to get their careers underway the better!!!
Look forward to hearing more from ya!
