9 is a junior garage, they only run 12-8 basket trucks during the week, in the summer its only once a week sunday into monday, 2 guys 4-12 relays, and every other month an 11-7 truck other than that, unless its after a holiday or something out of the ordinary no extra night guys so if ur looking to stay days you have a good shot there. ALOT of hand brooms and MLP.

Do not list any off the books jobs. It will not be an issue. Just state that you were unemployed and how you supported yourself during that time (parents for example). It is funny because they say to be honest, but at the same time they don't want you to list off the books jobs.

Dont let them fool you. They make money on this training. Think about it, how many people are in your cdl class? That 900 adds up. If they were losing money they would just increase the price. At one point in time it was 700 for cdl training.

Or you can put down self-employed. Sounds better than being supported by somebody else.

I can see $3,000 for CDL A training,but not for CDL B. I have been quoted $950.00 for CDL B training from a school on Long Island on a truck,not a school bus.

Glad to hear that you liked driving the cut downs,tomorrow you hit the streets,hope you get better weather. How was the attendance? Any no-shows?
