Any links? I haven't seem a school, private or community college, offer CDL training for less than $1500 for a month's training.

22 weeks? is that just a weekend course or full weeks? TDDS school in ohio is around 6000.00 they have a few different options for length, week day, and week ends.

 

Jcc is 8 weeks if you do it monday thru friday. They also offer a nite and weekend course but don't know how many weeks total it is.
If your a NC resident with all cost included it will be under a $1,000 when your done.

 

what do you think about companies that pay you while training then i hear you work for them for a year... I have a class B and drive a city bus and am thinking of hitting the road... I would rather them pay me while i train thats how I got my class B

 

C1/Driver Solution's tutition is paid by the company you hire on after one year with that company. All company's pay you a salary while training with a trainer.

 

sure you COULD go that route, but 98% of people that get into trucking DO NOT make it to the 1 year mark. And if you DO NOT make it, and you did the company training thing, expect a $10,000 bill in the mail Due the day they sent it!


And those companies that offer it, with 1 exception (millis transfer) all the other companies that offer it SUCK! $15,000-$25,000 your first year

Nothing in life is free....
Some companies hire and fire folks more than some change their underpants....once you have made your first delivery, the hiring company has gotten their tax credit for putting an out of work person back to work, AND your money....if you quit, they still get your money, AND GET TO HIRE A REPLACEMENT, AND ANOTHER TAX CREDIT....THEN REPEAT....

 

I sure appreciate your responce . I have been driving over 6 years I am a granny now and think this might just be my next step... we are having a lot of problems at my company I am seriously thinking of what was only a wish... I dont think I would have any problem with the work or road I just need some educated advice on companies and training .... thank a bunch
