Can anyone reccomend a good trucking school?

There are no "good" schools... Oh yea they advertise "learn how to drive a truck" .but what they really are is a place to get a CDL..They will show you everything you need to know to take & pass the DMV test....I reccomend you go down to the DMV office pick-up a CDL class A hand book and read that puppy till your eyes bleed, then take the written test and get your temp. license... After you have a temp you can find somebody that will let you drive with them and show you the AIR brake tests and parking then rent a truck to take to the DMV for your road test...Sounds like a lot of trouble I know, However DO NOT sign on with a company that says they will train you.The strings that come with are long and tangled. It's a pie that looks good but taste's like ####...

 

Sage trucking school,its a one on one training which is the best choice.Look into them.

I recommend the same, I did it this way. Its cheaper and you can take your time learning. I'm tell ya 2k-6k for trucking driving school wow. I've been around the industry my whole life and it was different for me. I knew how to drive before I went, get through the gears, backing up and a proper pre-trip. If your not familiar with the industry it could be a little harder to manage, practice time backing up and going through the gears and getting it down the road. I checked out a local trucking school to rent me a truck they said no but they pointed me a direction where I could rent one. A local truck dealer helped me out just thought I would add that, because renting a truck was tricky for me unless you know someone with a truck and trailer, with all the proper paperwork to boot. Good luck.... Get the book, study hard and you got it. Keep the rubber side down. Blink blink flash flash......
