Re: private school or company school?
Definately private. But make sure they are accredited. The better companies don't usually recognize those that aren't. Too, if you are unemployed, some states will offer financial aid in addition to your grant. Do your homework cause back when I went (in Arkansas) I paid cash. It was 1100., in addition to room and board. The company hires that were there were charged over $3000. helluva descrepency.

Re: private school or company school?
Have you tried Roehl, I work for them, and they are a great company with experienced trainers. I have met some of there graduating students, and they are top notch. If I had it to do all over again, I would have attended there school. If you need more information, let me know. Good Luck

Re: private school or company school?
I MAY BE INTERESTED IN THIS.....HOWEVER....I HAVE BAD CREDIT BUT....I DO KNOW I HAVE READ GOOD THINGS AOBUT THIS CO.
IF CREDIT DOES NOT MATTER ABOUT TRAINING.....LET ME KNOW MORE INFO.

DOES THIS MEAN I WOULD TAKE A PAY CUT FOR ATTENDING COMPANY TRAINING...OR WOULD I GET THE SAME PAY IF I WERE TO GO TO A SCHOOL....AND THEN GO ON AS A NEW HIRE.

I CURRENTLY HAVE A CLASS A PERMIT.

Re: private school or company school?
If you sign a contract for a company training school they will deduct a set amount from each check for like a year. Avoid contracts if at all possible. Drivers with contracts get screwed. I filed bankruptcy last year and I was able to get a loan with a company the school uses. It is very high interest (18%), but I plan on paying it off in a year instead of 4 years.
