    I’m really close to signing on for their orientation for a regional position. I already have my CDL-A but it looks like if I quit or am fired before 7 month late I could owe money. Is this normal?

    That seems odd if you have a valid CDL. I only paid $3500 for CDL school, but that was a long time ago.

    That has to be for someone who doesn’t have a CDL and needs training..Hard to tell due to the deceptive language of that agreement.

    Unbelievable that anyone would even consider being in debt that much for a lousy job.

    If they are paying for you school. Then yes. If you are experienced cdl driver the run away from it....
    7 months if they put you through school is just fine

    I already have my CDL-A, paid privately through a school. I have no expand just graduated not even a week ago. Is this still sketchy? She’s says they’ll start me at 48cpm and if I’m a runner (which I plan on being) then my checks will be at the lowest $1,100 after tax. Routes are never west of the Mississippi.

    Basically -- they are charging you a pro-rated fee for your training with them.

    Depending in part on where you are -- you may well be able to do better than that.

    What is your zip code?

    Do you have any CDL endorsements -- & if so, what are they?

    No endorsements, my zip code is 46201 (Indianapolis) but I’m really trying to take all/most home time in near Philadelphia/the East Coast (19130)

    no endorsements but I’m looking into Central Transport so I’ll get my Haz pretty soon.

    My old company Averitt Express put inexperienced drivers through a 6 week "finishing school". You got paid for it. They didn't charge the drivers anything for the school or bill them if the drivers leave. I've never heard of a trucking company charging new-hires to be trained. They operate mostly in the Southeast and Midwest.
