Company Schools vs Private Schools

First question you need to ask yourself is what type of trucking do you want to do? Then go find those companys in your area that do that, and ask them if you go to xyz truck driving school will they hire you from there. I would go that route before I went thru a bfi company school where you have to stay for a year making slave wages.

The real useful information would be to do a search for past threads that have asked the same question hundreds of times .

Acccording to BFI's CDL mills don't teach you to drive. That's why you need to spend 4 to 6 weeks with a trainer. That's if they don't put you on the bus for failing the road test .

 

The first thing you need to understand is that company sponsored school isn't free. You still pay for it. They are simply loaning you the money and deducting it from your already tiny paycheck over the course of a year. Going with a private school is always a better deal. Always.
