Default Roadmaster Tampa.....

For all of you that graduated from Roadmaster, how long did it take you to get your first driving job? I know some don't get picked up right out of school.

i never even heard of roadmaster except here on these baords. so as a result, i wouldn't know their job placement track record....

but here is why i am responding.

many times graduates don't get jobs right away out of school. there are variables working here like,

no trainers available

any given trucking company may have a hiring "freeze" due to the economy

no extra trucks available

no extra freight available

low graduating scores or poor attendance

background checks show some sort of problem(s)

and perhaps the job placement person just stinks at his/her job...

i graduated from a trucking school back in 1987. i got a job right away......other guys in my class didn't......luck of the draw....or something else holding them from employment????

once you graduate (if you haven't already), pester the crap outta the job placement person.

some things do take time, like some of the above reasons i mentioned.......

other things get you disqualified for other reasons........
