decisions decisions......

I've researched for two weeks about which school to got to. My results are this.

Roadmaster, 3 weeks training, $6000, will find you a job with company that paid kickback.
National, also expensive truck driving training is not there primary forte, heavy equipment is, you'll get trained on outdated trucks.
CDL mills, a few hundred dollars, you'll barely pass the driving test but that's it.
Bradford Vo-Tech, very intensive 8 week course, 320hrs., $1600 and will help you find a job for life as an alumni whenever you need it. That's where I'm going because there is no PTDI schools in Florida.

 

Will be a little while though. Have to talk with my financial adviser among other things first, probably be around summer.

 

keep us up to date on how the school is Druidlogan hope it turns out good.......where is it located (Bradford Vo-tech)? why is it so cheap compared to the others, make sure you keep a baseball bat in the trunk just in case.

 

It's in Starke. Idon't know why it's so cheap. I would have to guess because its a rural county with limited employment options; farming, prison or this. I was told by them that recently they are able to offer scholarships that would pay for it completely. That even I, a white, middleaged, middleclass male may even qualify for it. Never been that lucky before, would be nice.

 

I live in the county, Pat. The schools 10 mi. from my house. The first stroke of luck.
