What do you experts think about Roadmaster Driving School in Tampa FL?

Don't go I went there . The equipment is sub standard so is the training . Allot of company's frown when you tell them that you went to roadmasters for training . Even some of the the instructors say you can do better . Yes it was the Tampa school I went too . But I imagine they all are bad . There is a school in Clearwater forgot the name and don't know how good it is but you should check them out .

Thanks! Did they get you hired like they say? What Co. do you like?

I'm going with a company that is local . I have Friends that work for them so they pulled a few strings to get me on . This co. doesn't normally hire students . You will see a lot of recruiters from the likes of swift,Werner,Covent and the likes . They all sound good but do your research and you'll find they are not very good company's . Unfortunately we have to start somewhere . So you have to pick the lesser of the evils and stick it out for a year so you can move on to a better company .

i have just finished my first week at the west memphis ar school. I think they are a pretty good school. The equipment may be sub-standard compared to what you may get to drive once you hire on but you're a student...if you stall out and throw a drive rod on a brand new truck...do you want to pay for that to be fixed? I know the on the road trucks are in good working conditions...ie if we get stopped by DOT for a full inspection, it would pass. We had a DOT officer out there yesterday...he knows the trucks will be good. All the instructors have years of experience...most are accident free. We have one gentleman who has 23 years experience with NO accidents. I don't know about the tampa school but ours is good.

it's pricey...about $6500...but the school is affiliated with the local community college so you can get financial aide...most of the companies that hire students offer some form of tuition reimbursement. they also try their best to get you pre-hired by the time you leave.

if you want to know more...i'll try to get on again soon...we are off only on sundays...class is 7 to 6 with an hour lunch...now that i have my permit i won't have quite as much work to do that i know off...

I am currently at Roadmasters in Salt Lake City and so far it seems ok. The trainer has 25 years experience and he teaches us the book way and then explains the real world way. I haven't been in the truck to drive yet, that will be in a couple of days, but they seem to be in good shape. They drive so what more can you ask for when learning to drive one. Good luck.
