Carefull useing Roadmaster

I went to Roadmaster. It was literally - and i am not exaggerating here - the best decision of my life. They allow you to apply anywhere you want. Sure they encourage werner but all you have to do is tell werner you are declining their offer because you have a better opportunity elsewhere. Roadmaster is one of the best schools you can go to and its widely recognized as such in this industry. Sure, i ran into the losers in my class who whined and complained about everything. Being around these inferior individuals was personally the only downside to my stay at roadmaster. So i avoided them and hung around the winners.

 

if the contract says that roadmaster must send (say 50%) to Werner, and there are 12 people in class, then 6 go and 6 go someplace else. they (the school) may have you fill out applications, but YOU are under NO obligation to go where they tell you to go.

as i remember it, last time i looked, it was still America....and you still have some freedom left.

 

Of course i didnt call you a loser. I dont know you. I was speaking only of the people in my class who had problems with Roadmaster. They were either losers, druggies, or double digit IQ points below me. Not being arrogant or ####y that was just my own personal experience and opinion. I had my CDL in my hand 5 weeks from my first day of class and it only took that long because our local DMV was booked. 160 hour course cerificate in hand. The whole nine yards. I went to the Fontana, CA location. My instructor was Monica. I dont know if she is still there but she cares deeply about her students. 1 year later and im local, home every night and make more money than everyone in my immediate family and one of them has a college degree and ALL of them are older than me and have more work experience than me.

 

Roadmaster here in Columbus has old Werner trucks and trailers to train in. I was told that if you go with their " core carriers" ( Werner, Stevens, USXpress, Covenant, TMC) that those companies will pay $2000.00 towards tuition. The cost would be $4995.00 instead of $6995.00 You must also agree to work for those carriers X amount of time.

 

ok, they told you 80% go to Werner, that however does not mean they are forced to do so. it's just that 80% decided to go.

as far as the school recruiter lying to you, get used to that as well,as lying is part of the game in this business. recruiters are nothing but head hunters, at schools, colleges. jobs. the sell you a story and you either walk away, or buy it. to me, a recruiter is lower than whale snot.

a 160 hour course is enough at many CDL Mills, to get you your CDL, and move on. they must be getting more of a kick back than we can imagine.

 

I'm not sure what they offer out by you but here in York Pa the local Vocational school offers CDL courses.Also check into a community college in your area my ex got hers through a community college.
