Need The Truth On Celadon Quality Driving School . Any Truth Will Help Guide And Build My Confidence.

Greeny, welcome to Trucking Truth!

You are right about there being a lot of useful information in this thread, but boy you sure changed that trend with your last post. Look, I know you are a green horn, and I'm glad to see your handle reflects that understanding, but you seriously need to do your homework before you start making statements like this:

The lease options works best because you can get most of their money.

The whole purpose of the truck leasing programs is to transfer most of the company's expenses over to the lease operator. So, what the driver ends up getting is most of their expenses, not most of their money! If you think that team pay at .20 cents per mile is low, just wait till you get a taste of that .90 cpm along with the expenses of fuel and maintenance, and God forbid any major repairs that might just happen to come your way.

Keep studying and reading in here, you'll get a masters degree before you even get started good, but PLEASE don't let yourself get suckered into anybody's lease program until you absolutely understand what you're up against. And hopefully, by then, you'll know better than to try that anyway.

Thank you and I appreciate your straight and forward reply.

What happens if tou dont past truck driving school im from NewYork city

If you don't pass trucking school you either try again somewhere else, get more training with the same school if they'll let you, or look into a different career. You won't be driving if you don't pass.

Name is Richard Collins and for over a year i have been searching/ researching many trucking companies till i found Celadon . i love what they have to offer someone who hasnt gotta a cdl. Everything is paid for . yet my question to anyone who went before me , after training do u go out with a trainer to complete either 120,000 or 240,000 miles plus your contract agreement ? Help me please because i feel discourage and let down .

Thank u very much ....

I'm thinking about going to them too.

So I will get only 437.50 before taxes a week while I am driving the 140000 miles to fulfill the contract right? 140000 x .15= 21,000 dollars 21,000 / 12 months= 1,750 dollars before taxes a month 1,750 dollars / 4 weeks= 437.50 before taxes a week After deductions = $404.03 And that's if I can get 140000 miles within 1 year Does anyone know how long it wold take a team to get 140000 miles(estimate conservatively Please or best guess or worse scenario ????????????
