    Been lurking for awhile considering career change. Read t/o most posts here. Held a class a license many moons ago but never used. In order to make this happen need schooling again.

    Any positive or negatives around choosing Key energys driving school?? Anyone having gone t./o their course? Also what oppportunities offered upon completion?

    I'll try post the link here.

    Thanks Dirk

    Dirk... Key is a good place. Might also consider FTS International. They have a training school also. Another is Pioneer Natural Resources. I am interviewing with them for an instructor position they have.

    There's a starting point. You might add Nabors to that, but I'm not for sure what they have to offer. I know when I talked to them, the Yard Manager was more interested in the fact I had been an instructor for Prime for years.

    Good luck.

    Thank you Jonben,

    I will look at those others you mentioned. Job posting says Ozuna, Tx but the description below mentions victoria.

    Here's how it reads:

    · Company paid tuition for 5 Week CDL School: Earn Class A CDL with Tanker and Hazmat Endorsements (must have a certified copy of birth certificate for school enrollment)
    · Paid wages during training at CDL School
    · Lodging and meals provided while in CDL School
    · Candidates must provide own transportation to and from compliance training and CDL school in Victoria, Texas
    · Will be trained to operate a tractor trailer/commercial motor vehicle
    · Must have strong background in manual labor with ability to work in all outdoor climates and conditions
    · Must be able to work at least 12-14 hours a day and on various shifts

    Is the above offerings similiar industry wide? I will research.
    Dirk

    Key won't hire you for the school if you EVER held a CDL. Don't know about the others.

    That looks like its probably Key or FTS. I 've seen basically that same ad with several other towns mentioned. Both are good trust worthy companies I have found in my research. Since I've had my cdl for over 9 years, I haven't researched those ads, specifically, although I have talked to both companies.
