Roehl Trucking For New Drivers
Topic 34237 | Page 6
I found a training facility here in Michigan that can finish up my training I already have the theory range and out on road completed they will do my CDL for 200 rent a truck for 300 and 200 a hour for any training that I need I figure 2 more hours of offset backing and that will also get me familiar with the truck I will be driving
CDL:

I have decided to work for UPS for the PEAK season will be able to save about 4000 bucks then I am going to a 3 day school in Michigan FCG Truck Driver Training that will give me 24 hours of 1 on 1 training which will be excellent for me. The guy I talked to said that the trainer will just work on whatever I need work on. It is going to end up taking me a little more time than I wanted but I think it is best it ended up like this. This company also offers manual and automatic vehicles so I can hopefully be able to get my CDL without the restriction of only driving a automatic transmission. I have talked with a bunch of companies that have told me when I get my CDL they will hire me as a new driver. I am sure that means going out with a trainer for a while but I have nothing against that. I once again want to thank everybody on this amazing site for the advice and support I have got here. Any new people reading this do the high road training this site offers read things in the forum and say hi these guys won't steer you wrong. Funny I been doing this side job where I move 26' box trucks they seem so small after driving a trailer around when I was at CDL training.
