Driving School Question

If I go to a great or good Driving School. What does that do for me as far as actually obtaining a CDL?
Will this actually help me in actually obtaining my CDL so when it comes to try out for the CDL I can perform well and pass knowing I have the Driving School backing or is the driving school just a plus and doesnt teach you anything about going for the cdl and when I go for the CDL I wont have enough confidence to pass it?????
If its a well known school does this actually improve my chances of actually signing to a decent companie to truck for????
If I go to a good school does this lift any eyes or is it a ho hum????
What would be the upper end a trucker could make who has allot of experince and years down the road what would be the pay Yearly????

A great scholl will go over all aspects of the test, and give you practice written tests so you can easily pass for your permit.

YES, their are good starting companies that recognize good schools, and if the program hours are long enough their are some companies that will except you that would not with a lesser school.

This is really subjective as to what you want to do. Do you have to be home more often, like every week. If not you can make more. It can also matter what you drive, flats, van, or reefer.
