National outside Jacksonville

Yes it was for me, already had some experience with trucks.

 

Its a mill, but you'll get your cdl quickly, which may be the most important thing for you. I know it was a plus for me, because we were on the way to the poorhouse if I didn't get out on the road earning some money quickly.

If you are looking for decent and respectable, you'll go to Florida State College in Jacksonville, the community college alternative. It's cheaper and you get more drive time, and more instruction, more of everything really.

EDIT: Just found some info that might be useful...

National in Orange Park is something like $3500 and 3 weeks right?

Here's a guy who went through the FSCJ program. He said the cost is about $2200 and 8 weeks. That doesn't help you if you are desperate to start earning a living wage, but then, desperation has hurt the decisions of many truck drivers I imagine.
