CDL Schools in Indiana ???

My son just started this week at Truck Driver Institute in South Bend. $4995 up front or $5995 financed. Plus $125 if you stay in motel plus license and permit fees. They also are in Sellersburg and Whiteland.

Three weeks 154 hours, incl 4 hrs night driving.

 

You can also check out the Celadon Trucking School.. They're on the Internet, and can be contacted by phone. I work for them, so I know they have a school for your license and then put you with a Trainer for a number of weeks. They have a student dormitory and I think they provide meals.. I don't know anything about the costs involved, but it's no free ride.. They will collect back everything associated with your schooling !! It might be a way to get started if you're short on cash up-front.

 

Dennisroc: I too am looking at celadon and I really truly like what I heard and just want to hear more on this company. Dennisroc, hope whatever your choice u make will be a great one. Good luck !!!!!

 

Check and see if ivy tech has a trucking program up there. I know Madison Indiana does. Almost took an instructor adjunct job with them but it only paid 38k/yr :-/

Its a sage program through the cc.
You'll save a ton of money if you don't need to get going now.

I can vouche to sellersburg TDI being a good place for cdl training. Good crew of guys. Tdi just teaches you to get your cdl not real backing. Good driving fundamentals through a well populated area though.

Heard the ppl up there hollar about "two fingers" lol.(south bend TDI)

 

Hey Dennis have you looked into Carter Express in Anderson, Indiana yet? I "heard" they pay for or are hooked up with a school now...I could be wrong. Worth giving then a call, I think the recruiters name is Kelly. They are way better than Celadon.

 

I second the Carter Express. Worth checking out before Celadon. Also, the Ivy Tech in Muncie has a CDL program. There's a C1 on Raymond Street, but you'll sell your soul to PAM or USA Truck. I think there's a Roadmaster in Indy as
well.

 

Ivy tech was a sage program and the total cost for training was 1850 dollars.

This was a couple yrs ago.

Prob 2500 now since ivy tech jacked up tuition etc... Only gonna get higher.
