Drive Train in Jackson, TN

I'll do a pro and cons list from my point of view.

Pros:
Only Two weeks long
Staff is relatively fun
They make sure they have atleast one company that'll hire you

Cons:
Its only two weeks, if you don't catch on, you're screwed
Only one recruiter came to the school
Doesn't give you your certificate until the loan is paid off

Overall, it's not that bad of a school. Bob comes off as an ### at first, but he's not that bad. If you want a crash course to trucking, I'd recommend them

 

Yeah, but their programs are too long for me. To my favor though, WIA paid the majority of my cost. For cheaper route, I'd go with Tenn Tech. Its like 1200, but its 6 weeks long. Swift is contracted basically, and contract pay is fairly low..

 

Go to the unemployment office or "career center" and they should give you all the information

 

I disagree with your statement. I drove through Jackson to Dyersburg, dropped and hooked trailers, learned proper trip planning and trip planning. Basically, learned how to operate a truck and trailer as well as the rest of aspects of the industry. No, we didn't drive loaded trailers. The longer the course doesn't dictate the job opportunities. The starter companies are just that, starter companies that hire students with at least 150 credit hours. Being a "competent driver" is entirely individual on if the person can learn from mistake or can understand the rules of the industry.
