Pros

The travel is paid for.

Cons

This place is toxic. Here's everything that went wrong. Greyhound from Georgia to Utah. 53 hours. Arrived at midnight on the first day of class. Recruiter knew the bus would be late and said he'd tell the school. * He didn't. Recruiter said the school offered full meals for $3. *Lie. $13 Arrived at midnight and had to sleep on the floor then get up at 5am. Since their poor planning led to a late arrival, there was no building tour, no instructor meeting, and no itinerary. This led to getting lost and not knowing who to see about assistance until after week one. Instead of training, study guides were given but very little actual hands on training. If you wanted practice, you better do it after hours and on the weekend. 10 day "school" includes the weekends even though there is no instruction and nobody there. Contract says 10-17 days but it's really 7-10. If you fail a test you do not get a second chance. Pay attention to the contract as it says you'll pay them for 4 years. Not that it's covered when you work there. You do not get your CDL after testing. You wait (up to 3 wks) for a trainer, go out for three weeks with them, go to a terminal and test again, then get your truck and put in home time. You'll be away for a month and a half before getting your stuff and picking up your license. If you fail a test, the contract says you test again. In reality, they send you home and try to make you pay for the school. Conclusion: don't bother. They're overpriced, instructors are rude and disrespectful, and so many lies.
