    sorry it took so long to get back on here been real busy,any how the rest of the school went real well.I took my driving test Tuesday and passed and now have my cdl.The school and the instructors were good,for the most part couple of things they could improve on,but they are human so some error is expected.Glad I attented this school I would recommend it to any one trying to get thier cdl.With that being said I dont understand people that go to these schools and expect everything to be perfect.If you want your cdl you are going to have to work for it.Like anything else in life if you want something you will have to work for it.So stop being a sissy and get to work!

    I wouldn't expect everything to be perfect. And the school was adequate. But a student shouldn't lose conciousness due to severe dehydration at school. There should be something like a fan in the range trucks and the range shelter when the temperature/heat index is in the triple digits. The training director is a friend and I'd recommend the school to anyone. I know he's requested stuff but the money guy won't cough it up. Either way...congrats dude. Where are you headed?

    I'm looking at this school as well. I live a bit west of Milton, it's a bit of a drive, but I can't find anything in Florida closer and I'd prefer not to have to go out of state. Good to know about the A/C problems. I'll try to hurry it up and get in a class before the summer really heats up.

    Anyone else have any experiences to share or any other schools to recommend? Can anyone give me any idea as to what the pricing on this school would be?

    Thanks

    cash price 6K with a $1000 scholarship so 5k out of pocket, financed you'll end up paying closer to 9-10k when all is said and done. plus a $25 background check, and the fees for your physical and any extra endorsments you want

    My husband starts on March 12. hoping for good things :biggrin_25525:

    I just graduated from Roadmaster Drivers School. The one I went to was in Tulsa, OK but they have several schools in FL. and around the country. I would HIGHLY recommend them. Feel free to get in touch with me if you would like to hear more... btw.. when you leave Roadmaster you will have a job waiting for you... which really helps.
