Absolutely, it is the Volunteer Training Center of Murfreesboro, TN. Uhhh...recently under criminal investigation.
"Volunteer, with offices in Murfreesboro and Chattanooga, remains the object of an on-going criminal investigation by the Tennessee Highway Patrol Criminal Investigation Division (CID) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Pending the investigation, this is all the Department of Safety can release at this time."

Thanks, Michelangelo! That's info wannabes can hang their hats on!

They can hang their hat on this . MOST of the schools are scammers . There's too many applicants for the legitimate schools to accept but even they have raised their tuition accordingly so they are ripoffs too .JustSonny Thanks this.

CDL Mill: any school you did not go to.
Bottom Feeder: any company you have not worked for.
That's pretty much the definitions from this forum. -
Just out of curiousity, are you people aware that anyone can show up at the DMV with a truck/trailer and permit without any training whatsoever, and take the road test and skills test and if they pass, get a CDL and be on their merry way? All DMV cares about is if they can pass the test. There are "schools" in Ca., for instance, that have 3 day classes. Aztlan in L.A. has been doing this for 35 plus years, just a quick crash course driving, no classroom. And it's LEGAL! Not sure if this is allowed in every state. So, a school that teaches classroom and behind the wheel is actually not a bad deal when you think about it, compared to what is actually required to take the DMV test, which is nothing in Ca. ( and in other states I'm sure)
JustSonny Thanks this. -
I know of two drivers in the last five years that got CDLs w/out attending schools. The first was an owner-operator doing local furniture delivery, and the second drove for an owner operator.
I guess it depends on what you want to do.Last edited: Feb 27, 2010
