I can't believe that there are only two other reports about this company! I went there several years ago... And I still haven't recovered financially. These guys are the worst kind of bottom feeding scum you can imagine. Just look at where they are located... Right in the heart of one of the most economically depressed cities in the country! They are looking for people who are out of work and desperate, because desperate people will do desperate things, and they will use poor judgement. Like the other guy said... They will have you lie, make up names and SSN's, do anything it takes to get you the "credit approval" to go to their school. And of course, they promise you employment with one of many companies who will pay back the majority of your school costs... As long as you stay with them for a long period of time. But won't they don't tell you, is that the average amount of time that a new driver spends with one of these companies is about three months. Why three months? Because that's about all that the human body can endure without adequate food and water, and because you spend the few pennies that you make on just enough food to keep from starving. (no kidding, the company that i went to work for paid me so little that I was living off of those little packages of peanut butter cookies that you find on the bottom shelf at the gas station.) They promise you $350 / wk during your "training" phase, and they run you ragged. But as soon as you start driving on your own, when you can make some money, the miles mysteriously dry up. Then you find yourself sitting in some godforsaken hell hole waiting for days for a load, many times with no shower, food supplies, or even a toilet. (one place i sat for 4 days, all they had was an outhouse that they never cleaned) But I digress... The school itself is a joke. You could just as easily go get a book on truck driving rules, and if you can find a friend that has a truck and that is willing to work with you... You could learn everything that they teach you on your own. So what do you get for your $4000, or $6000, or $10,000 dollars (depending on how desperate you are)? You get some goofball who likes to come in and tell you amusing anecdotes about his glory days of trucking, you get a bitchy secretary who is supposed to be your liaison with all of these trucking companies, but who is always to busy to talk to you. (I think I talked to her personally one time, and she gave me a list of companies that she thought might hire me, but I had to do all of the leg work myself.) Seriously... You can accomplish 10 times what she does... Just look on line. So bottom line... No matter how desperate you are... Do not go to one of these truck driving schools! There are better ways! They all work hand in hand with these "training companies", and they are all in it for themselves! They are simply trying to take advantage of you, and when you discover what these companies really are, and you have to quit anyway, you will still be stuck with the bill. DON'T BELIEVE THEIR LIES!!!
Remember, Fate is the HUNTER!
