I'm about to signup with Central Tech in Drumright, OK. Anyone been there or any other schools in Oklahoma?
Their website says they have a 98.7% placement rate over the last couple of years. Just looking for general opinions, advice, whatever...

Plus Crowder included room and meals and and xtra week for the about the same price as CT which doesn't include meals..Plus Crowder has cool SKID pad course
I didn't wait for the school to place us,we put in our app's with the company we wanted and got a pre-hire before we even start school..So they are paying for our tuition, room and meals.and we start orientation the week after we finish school . Job done !!!Last edited: Apr 18, 2015

I wouldn't put too much stock in placement percentage numbers the schools provide. Make sure most of your preferred 1st job carriers will honor whatever school you decide on.
If you're planning on commuting to class daily, what part of Oklahoma do you live in? -
I live in northern OK. Not too far but would be staying there for the week and come home on the weekends. Thanks for the advice on pre-hire. Makes more sense.
Chinatown Thanks this. -
Good career; trucking!
Start submitting job applications the first week of school. Lots out there to choose from,so submit as many applications as you want,then pick through the job offers. Ignore "experience required" on any trucking company website and apply anyway because many companies bend their own hiring rules for high quality applicants and graduates from good CDL schools.
Trimac Transportation
Groendyke Transport
CTL Transportation
Southeastern Freight Lines
Freymiller
Pride Transport
Hogan
ABF Freight
Dartco
Tyson Foods
Waggoners Trucking Co.
Decker Truck Line
Safer Transportation
Navajo Express
System Transport
Several to pick from; some your school & the other students probably never heard of. Now you have the inside track!
Groendyke and Trimac are two companies worth the extra effort to hire on with. If you're willing to go the effort for tankers, it's a great career and can eventually lead to those $100K jobs. Get the tanker/hazmat endorsements plus TWIC ID Card. Google for nearest TWIC office.Last edited: Apr 19, 2015
