Went the one in Fenton,no complaints,a better driving environment than in Detroit.
But remember most schools give you enough training you to get your CDL.

Your Right, It Is $3,395. Sorry, I Got It Mixed Up With Ustdts. They Do There Training Right There And There Equipment Looked Pretty Good And Most Of It Looked Fairly New. They Have A Big Training Yard Too. It's Right Off Of 75, Right Next To Southland Mall, Across From Girbraulter Trade Center. Theres A Hooters There Too, Good Food. Uststs Looked Like Most Of There Equipment Was From The Movie Convoy, Old Conventionals And Cab Overs That Looked Like Cob Webs Where Holding Them Together. They Had A Couple Of Newer Kenworth T2000 And Peterbuilt 387 But I Dont Think They Let The Students Train On Those, Because Every Time I Went There, They Was Parked In The Same Spot, And I Went There 3 Times Over A 2 Month Span. I Seen Newer Freightliners And Volvos At Trainco But I Only Went There Once. Nuways Website Looked Like They Had Convoy Equipment Too, But I'm Going There Thursday So I'll Let You Know.

For me trying to weigh it out - considering both tution amounts are under what most companies will reimburse - I guess it's only the intial pain of laying it out that hurts

US 3995 VS TRAINCO 3395
US is in Fenton 25min from my house vs Trainco Taylor 1hr (Lansing 1.5hr)

Sturmtrike: what kind of equipment were they running in Fenton?

Nu Way School
Billy Nu Way is a good school, I just finished the program. The Instructors are great and very helpful.. I was at the Livonia School... It is a 3 week program. Monday - Saturday 7a- 5p . The pics of the trucks are not what they have in Livonia, And I think these are older pics taken a while back. I think you will find everyone is very helpful. Let me know if you go there, and if you do Tell Rick Teri saids Hi
