online schools

what is the best online cdl school?

 

Surely , you're not serious . Almost every state DVM has their CDL manual online or you can pick it up at the office . What would possibly be worth paying for ?

 

It's not very hard to pass the written tests by learning them online...but there's nothing that's going to prepare you better than being behind the wheel. Even a simulator isn't going to be the same. You know if you hit something that all you have to do is hit the reset button.

I'm taking a 5 week class at a school that offers a high amount of seat time. I've been driving since the second day of class and have been on 3 road trips in the first 2 weeks. I'm pretty comfortable with all the written stuff...and even the obstacle course stuff...but put me behind the wheel out on the road with the lives of 2-3 other people in my hands and I tend to be a bit tense.

Driving School is the ONLY thing I would recommend...the longer the better.

 

I just can't fit a school in my current job. Is there a way to complete the classes at home and then take the road portion?

 

Yes....do the written.

Rent a truck for the road test. And PREY you don't run over anything.

Of course, finding a job afterwards (provided you get a CDL) will be next to impossible. Especially since you will be required to show a certificate of completion by the majority of companies.

 

I was thinking of buying own truck and haul gravel here local.

 

Thats simple. Get the handbook and study. Take your new truck down, and do the test.

The written is a no brainer.

 

See if you think you need any more than this . The toughest part will probably be doing the pretest .

thanks, I'll call local driving school about the skills test. My only concern will be cost of insurance. I think alot of people here go with Progressive. I'm making a big career change and cut in salary. I found out money is not everything.
A big paper mill will re-open soon and maybe looking into logging also. Seems like a log trailer is cheaper than a dump trailer.

 

How are you going to learn to drive a truck over the internet? Mabey they'll let you do your road test on the internet and perhaps you could get a job driving an truck on the internet hauling e-mails.
