CDL school versus Central Refrigeration or WERNER?

Dixie I would also say do the 8 week school. When I started I paid for my 4 week school so I didn't have to be tied to a year at one company because frankly I wasn't even sure if I would make a truckdriver at the time. The second company I drove for which was about 5 yrs after starting allowed for a dog so I at that time did get one and she was wonderful to have on for company sake plus being a female driver it was protection (she stopped a burgler who somehow got the door open on my truck at the T/A in Baltimore MD while I was in the bunk). I am now local and when I was thinking about returning to OTR looking for a company that would take the dog was becoming more of a challenge, but now am an o/o so don't have to worry about that rule. Good luck to you and I would definately save money and be free to work where you preferred with the 8 week local school
