Is there a better training site? Wisconsin/Indiana?

    Hi all,

    I am leaving my bus driving job for something OTR and I am set to attend Roehl's training to obtain CDL-A. I have read and watched many reviews for the Wisconsin location and like what I found. My employment specialist has it arranged for me to attend training in Gary, IN though. I have not found too much on this particular training site. I mentioned to my family my coming change and plans and they warned me of Gary's reputation. I was worried a bit but still very eager and not deterred.

    So, I guess, I am asking if anyone has trained in Gary or set eyes on both of the facilities? Is one better? Is there any advise for me going into training there?

    Thanks,
    Zip

    We should compare notes in the end for what each location has to offer. I originally was looking for refer. I was told for my area , flatbed has the best pay and miles near my home and it should help should I need to make a quick trip home for any reason.

    Dude, your profile says you're from Detroit. You can handle Gary.

    Did my training through Gary. On my own now. Gary wasn't an issue at all. Waaaay better than the D.

    Gary ain't a bad place to train. Nice hotel and a large terminal. Plus, there are a lot of bars and strip joints close so you won't be bored after hours! :eek:
