    Would be interested in any updates you have regarding your schooling with Jersey TT. I'm right down the street from the lakewood Smith and Solomon but I havent heard great things so far.

    Right now I am in the early stages with Jersey Tractor preparing for the CDL knowledge tests. They offer a free prep class every Friday that starts at 8:00am and lasts about 3 hours. While you are there you can talk to Howard,Mike or George about the packages that are offered. I have been studying the 241 sample questions that the school supplied me along with the sample test on this site. If I come across anything else I will post it in this thread.
     
    JrzyDave Thanks this.

    Not so much Lakewood but just Smith and Solomon. Still keeping an open mind. I went by the office one day but it was closed. I didnt see any trucks there so I'm going to try and find out where they actually train in the trucks and go check it out.

    Thanks for the heads up about the practice tests on this site. I have been using them more than the samples supplied to me by the school. Thanks again transam...

    I did the CDL A written on my own and got my permit. Got the manual at DVM for free. Starting at S&S Linden yard on Monday. Actually looking forward to the bad weather .. Maybe fewer people will come.

    Did you go to the Edison location ?? That is just a satellite office with no trucks, just admissions rep there on a part time basis.
