At the absolute lowest point of my unemployment a few years ago I went to a local OTR truck driving school and asked some questions.
The classes take 6 weeks and you will be hired by a major OTR fleet. You have to sign a one year contract and they will pay for the school. From the photos in the office and the contracts I saw, I was guessing the school is owned by the trucking companies. During the one year contract period, the company OWNS you. You will not be home unless the route takes you down your street. The trucks have GPS and transmitters which record everything you do. Run time, idle time, speed, route, sleep time. If you don't fulfill the contract you have to pay them back for the cost of the school. After one year you can quit and go else where. You are a slave. The guy walked me out the door of the building and told me "off the record" I wasn't the right candidate for this. He was being honest with me. I give him a lot of credit for that. There are trucking forums out there. It ain't a pretty lifestyle. |
