    My friend (who also has a touch of diabetes), is having a hard time getting into the school where I went, Tdds, there giving him a hard time for his misdemeanors, so he got a prehire letter from schneider, and there still jerking him around, for better terms of other words. it not fair, but, theres alternatives, right?

    if theres a list of good truck driving schools, Like TDDS, who have financial aid and paid for room and board either on campus or off campus, in case he has to go to california, or somewhere out of state or out of town, and some financial aid reimbursement.. are there any Truck ds around the country that offer room and board and financial aid?

    There's a good reason the school is "giving him a hard time for his misdemeanors, " and that means they think he's UNHIREABLE! Would you rather se him spend $4000 or more on the school and NOT get a job? That prehire isn't really worth squat! Perhire's just say that IF you meet ALL the company's minimum standerds they will give you a job. A lot of Co. won't hire someone with a record, with some co. the record has to be XX years old.
    He should check around (even w/schneider) and get more prehires that say his record is ok with them.

    Most schools would tell him he "SHOULD" be fine, take his money, get him his CDL.... and then he'd be complaining how the school lied to him because now he has a CDL and can't get a job because of his criminal history. The school is doing him a favor. He should have at least 3 pre-hires before continuing.

    He got another one from werner and stevens transport.. but he hasnt worked in the past 2 years.. it's F*ed up how the system is working right now.. designed for people to not get there ###### together.. I mean a FELON.. a FELON has a better chance than this.. how is this fair?

    I mean is there ANY school with room and board and fin aid.. i mean the girl at tdds still keeps playing with him.. and she's ALWAYS on vacation.. im not saying she doesnt deserve it, im saying she could have accepted him a while ago.. he did get in fact 4 pre hire letters.. and still tdds is playing.. im suggesting he'd go somewhere else, where fin aid pays for room and board and his schooling.. i wonder if theres other schools like that?

    He got a pre-hire from Schneider and now he got one from Werner and Stevens each, and then while you were responding to this post got yet a fourth from someone else. What a popular guy!

    There is no financial aid for room and board at schools, however Stevens will pay for his room (not dinners) AND train him for a one year commitment to drive for them. Why isn't he just going with them?

    If you had a Lamborghini would you let him drive it cross country without supervision?

    I didnt tell the whole story keyster, making me out to be a liar i see :) you slick devil you. ;)

    no hes had this going on since the spring, even before i was doing trucking.. but his life has had turns like all of us. i see a lot of you have a similiar attitude like I said in the felony post.. Im not saying anyone in THIS thread, or even you Keyster. In fact I appreciate all of you. But Sometimes, we as americans are spoiled, and those who've stayed out of trouble or cannot relate to these kinds of things become haughty and dont realize that people are people, and we are all human and make mistakes.

    On the other hand, I read many of threads who acknowledge those who have messed up, and finally realize they need a second chance, so they are encouraged and commended for their eventual actions. And to this is say.. Well done, keep encouraging, ,because it's giving back and helping out others who are in need.

    And this is why i continue to post and read in this forum,. because theres a lot of good people on here.

    again, thank you

    and keep em coming for schools with room and board, maybe if we can get a list on here it would be helpful. thanks

    The equipment he plans to dive with a load will be about $150,000 to $225,000. So if his demeanor is have hazard attitude then the trucking school sees it as a problem. What is it they don't like about his demeanor? Attitude, ####y, character, integrity????
    The school has to worry about their reputation also (if they have one, lol).
