    Good day,

    I’m leaning towards going with sage out of Fort Pierce for my truck driving school. However, I’ve heard good things about Mid Florida tech in Orlando and Flagler Community College in Palm Coast. I’m not looking to do any sponsored training because I don’t feel comfortable signing a contract. Who would you recommend and what is your experience?

    Of those listed in post #2 above--pick the one with the most listed hours.

    If the hours of each are the same--pick the one that is closer/cheaper.

    Try to graduate WITHOUT an "automatic restriction" on your license.

    Alternately--

    Look at the websites for Old Dominion Freight Lines, and also.....DOT Foods.

    Those websites should show which schools in your area from which they like to hire.

    That way--you can't lose.

    I’m starting tomorrow in Sanford Florida with Truck Driver Institute. Tomorrow will be my first day. I’ll keep you posted on what I think of them. from what I read for central Florida truck master cdl is a fantastic school, but they proved incompetent on the paperwork side of things (my circumstances were a little complicated) so I started looking for another school and I decided to go with truck driver institute. I will let you know what I think of them once I start.
     
    Chinatown and CalculatedRisk Thank this.

    Do you recall the cost of truck master CDL? I just sent them a request on information on how much, how long their course is and whether they have third-party instructors there?
