How much for truck driving school? Cash or financed?

Florida is out of funds too, waited about 6 months hoping they would come in before we just paid for school ourselves

 

Need to know what steps should i take to buying a truck and working for a local company.

 

Don't worry! They bailed out the banks, and The executives got there bonuses. With more pension money!

 

Getting your CDL can run anywhere from nothing to $10.000. I have heard the best of Road Masters.........something in the line of $6000. I went thru CR E.........a special of $1395. Well let it suffice it be said that sometime we get what we pay for,,,,,,,,,,,Hindsight dictates I should have gone w/ Road M.'s school.

 

I would give this some major league thought before pursuing your own truck. But, hey, there are others out there much more qualified than me to provide advice. So let us hear from those of you better qualified to offer advice.

 

$320 for a 160 hour course. Doing the repeat is almost free if you've graduated from the school. I did, in 2001, but let my CDL lapse.

 

Here's a sample of a typical CDL school's "private financing opportunity"

Tuition: $5495
Downpayment: $1000
4495 for 36 months at 18%: $162.51/month
Total cost for school: $6850.36
Total cost of financing: $1355.36
