Not enough school hours

i thought there was a FEDERAL mimimum of 160 hours

 

Thats scary 120 hours if never drove before

 

Most states don't require any schooling to get a CDL. Pass the written and road test and you're done. What you do with the CDL is of no concern to the DMV. What companies require is a different story. This is why every newbie MUST be talking to prospective companies BEFORE reaching into their pocket and paying a school.

PTDI means nothing, except to a few companies that believe that a PTDI accredited school teaches better than a non PTDI school. I haven't found any facts or statistics that validate that a PTDI school produces a better driver.

There are companies that require a PTDI school, as well as some training companies that are PTDI certified. Check their driver safety record and you'll easily see that all this PTDI crap means zilch.

 

Starting school 2morrow!!!! Seeing as how I've had a ClassB for over 6 years, and all I needed for a ClassA permit was to pass the Combination part of the written test, my school says all I need is the 120 (3week) course, seeing as how 1 entire week is to prepare you to pass the ClassA written test.:smt023

 

STAY AWAY FROM C.R. ENGLAND THAT'S FOR DARN SURE
that's all i got to say about that you could go to a web site that has trainging for newbies like us good like

 

That's fine, IF the company you plan to drive for accepts the 120-hour course. Like I said earlier, it's up to the company, not the school. Schools don't hire..companies hire. Make sure you don't screw yourself and find out later that you still needed 160 hours. Most companies have told me 160 hours.
