    There are plenty of threads in this section about the Millington Academy, don't take it personal, just search for Millington in the box above.

    have you considered having your husband teach you. some companies allow spouse to teach spouse. Must get CDL permit first but you have to do that to go to millington anyway and you would save thousands of dollars. not to mention, millington is not the best place to learn to drive. you still have to go out with a trainer for a week afterward then off to get tested. there are companies that will teach you to drive to pass cdl test. check st. joseph, mo. i heard of a guy for $500 will teach you enough to pass CDL using automatic. then you can get in truck with husband where you really start to learn how to drive. you don't get anything but the basics where ever you go to school and the costs do not justify what you learn. Good Luck!

    Don't count on it,they will find a way to tell you later that he can't or not allow to train you.
