Today was my first day at school, here is a few things about it. School is located in Olive Branch MS, cost $1125, books $65, 8 week coarse, 8am to 3pm Mon-Fri, they have 3 trucks, the instructor is a 3rd party state certified tester so he can test us for the pre trip and road test at the end of coarse! I will post pics and update you on my journey at school! Lets roll this beautiful bean footage! Melbo

good luck pick your first company very careful don't pick 1st one look at where they run in 48 and most important how much they pay but good luck keep it between the lines and ditch MAKE SURE U GET YOU ENDORCEMENTS BEFORE U GET HARD COPY!!!!! a lot of pretty good companies require haz it open more doors for you on picking companies 2 work forChinatown Thanks this. -
missjhawk is right, get all the endorsements. Get TWIC also for those good tanker jobs. Start a list of companies you like; not the mega-starter companies.
Check these websites and decide if you want them on your list; they hire new CDL grads, ignore "experience required" on any website and apply anyway if you like the company:
SVTN
Howard Transportation
Superior-Carriers
Quality Distribution
Maverick Transportation
Melton Truck Lines
Ozark Motor Lines
Clean Harbors
Some of the best jobs for new drivers, you won't hear about in CDL school.Last edited: Oct 17, 2013

Eight weeks seems like a long time to attend a truck driving school. Granted you'll learn more than you will with a two week course initially, but since most companies are going to require you to retrain with them anyway you're kind of wasting your time. To each their own though...

Its Thursday, had 2 companies come by our class today, Cooper and Maverick! Cooper is a smaller truck company with about 100 trucks Maverick about 1600 trucks. The guys from Cooper brought pizza and was laid back no pushy sales pitch. Maverick was all business like a well oiled sales machine! More to come!

Can't complain about the cost.

And not locked into some crazy contract!

Nice, I will wait for more updates on your study because I was also interested about those schools for truckers.
