Default Just about to enter trucking school May 21

I planning on attending truck driving school May 21 at the Trainco truck driving school in Perrysburg Ohio I was wondering if anyone one has ever been there before and what to expect at the school as far as training and job placement and what to look out for.

Hopefully your job placement has already been taken care of. There is no way you should be attending school without at least a few firm offers of employment contingent upon your successful completion.

The companies i have offers from are the following
1.PGT
2.SWIFT
3.SCHNIDER
4.WERNER

I know the companies I listed are not the greatest .I have read many threads about them thats why i was asking about what the school might have to offer? I would prefer to go local, but I am sure the school will try to push me towards OTR jobs when i called and asked them about the companys they place with i was told lots so who knows .my uncle can get me a good dump truck job when i graduate that would pay me more than the ones listed above but who knows i got my pre hire letters just in case

Out of those 4 Schneider wouldn't be a bad choice at all followed by Swift. PGT is a flatbed outfit that hauls primarily steel don't know anything more than that. Wouldn't touch Werner if it were the last company on the planet. If your school is PTDI certified you could get on with Crete and be making .41cpm after 1 year. Less if you choose midwest regional. You might want to give em a call.
