    I'd go with the 8 week 320 hour school. That will give you more choices of trucking companies to drive for.

    Not to sound dumb. New so just a question of learning. I did ask the school if they helped with job placement their reply was no. How would the school give me more choices of trucking companies to drive for.

    Do the 8 week college course, you’ll absorb more and it’s affordable. TDI course is too short and the price is insane. Let me rephrase that..15 days and $7k is a ripoff.

    Do companies look for the amount of hours?

    Usually school do have job placement help, but that's just a list of companies that hire from the school. Maybe they don't do that anymore. We, on this forum, can help you find employment better than a school can.

    Yes, there’s been a couple students here who had problems not getting enough training hours from their discount Bozo CDL schools.

    You want a 160 hour course from an accredited school..at minimum.
