Been wanting to get a class a cdl for awhile. Have little experience driving semi's around the ranch, Been looking at company sponsored programs.
We have a swift terminal in my town, but I don't hear great things about it. More or less I've heard it's just a foot in the door, and they give you access to a truck. The instructors aren't really helpful. In particular my buddy said while he was in there program a guy was struggling with alley docking and they wouldn't help him. They let him struggle for over a week till he figured it out.
Maybe the majority of company sponsored programs are like this, maybe there are some good ones? I've read good and bad things about all the company's, but it seems that indeed has quite a few "good" reviews about Cr England's training program. But the company sucks, and no recent reviews on swift.
Reason I'm looking at company sponsored programs is because my buddy dropped swift and took cash out of his 401k to go to an actual school. Training was 1 on 1 but he had a hard time finding a job when he got out, because he had no experience. I have no kids so I can drive long haul for a year or whatever.
Any input/advice on this?
