    One of the big problems is not the rates its the schools... these kids out here are lookin for a way out of their debts and they hear "3 weeks get your cdls.. start workin and make 800-1000 a week... " well i hate to say it but thats far from the truth... the market is flooded and god knows what it will be like in 2-3 more yrs... we might as well put in big bold letters "will work for free"
