    My husband and I are making preperations to become a husband and wife trucker team. We've been looking for trucking schools all over our state and finally found one that doesn't have a whole lot of up front cost. It's the Truck Driver Insistute in Forsyth, GA. I can't find a single scrap of information on this school as to whether or not they are a good school or reputable. Does anyone have any information on this school or any suggestions on other schools to go to? Our local community college offers a course but it's somewhere sround $5,000 up front and I cannot afford that at all. Anyhow, any help would be amazing!!

    doesnt have to be in state either. I went to roadmaster in columbus ohio. We had guys from Pennsylvania and Maryland in my class. Something to consider.
    Whatever you do , stay away from company sponsered schools. They will lock you into a contract to drive for them. Its better to have choice in where you hire on , in my opinion.

    Good Luck!!

    I called this Place too last week, it sounds too good to be true. but i figured it out while talking to them on phone that you have to sign a 1 year contract to a trucking company so they can pay or reimburse your tuition fee to this school. well i think it's still not a bad deal for the people like me who dont even have extra 500$.
    the man i spoke with was saying that the out of pocket cost for you is 315$ even if you use their lodging.

    but i plan on personally driving there to see how real the deal is. i live in Roswell, GA and have a Buddy who wanna team up with me.

    Lemme know if you find an other better deal or if you went and talk with them?
    Wonder if this whole thing is subject to credit Approval?:biggrin_2556:
