    Not sure how good the school is but I heard they were really expensive like $10,000 that is a lot of money to get your CDL. I paid $5000 and had a hard time swallowing that but turns out the school I went too was really good and well worth it. I guess it all depends on your financial situation? Most companies will only pay tuition reimbursement from $5000-$6000. Check your local community colleges they usually have classes for arround $2500.

    Good Luck

    Not sure about you're part of the country, but some states like mine have CDL driving schools thru their community collage systems. These tend to be a good bit less costly. I didn't want to go the trucking company school because I didn't what anyone to own me for a year or so, thats just me for some people that is the way to go. They all have there advantages and disadvantages I guess. I start next week and I am very pleased with the choice I made.
