MTC St.Louis, Mo.

there are better and more important cheaper places. the hotel is nasty the trucks are pretty worn out. some of the trainers are pretty verbally abusive. the one good one quit for a better job when i was there. this was a year ago maybe things have changed though i doubt it. so not worth the 5995 they charge.

 

They have recently contracted with Stevens Transport so they will be getting 2 new (2010) tractors (KW T 2000). Don't know about the instructors or hotel.

 

lol i went to stevens after i got my cdl a year ago. the companys that hire from there were stevens,tmc,werner,covenant, hogan and swift. the trucks they are gonna provide will be about as bad as werners were. well maybe not the first few classes at least but students do put a toll on the trucks. no way around that really

 

stay away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please am there right now and i regret but am a bear it to the end.
If you need more info let me know

 

Which are better and cheaper? I am still looking..... Thanks! I am in the St.Louis area

 

community colleges have programs in place for cdl

 

I went there for 3 weeks. Most instructors were good. The teaching methods questionable. The hotel was unfortunate. Been in worse. School pays for "lunch and dinner" weekdays only. 2 mcdoubles - 2 arbies roast beef sand - 2 slices lil ceasars - 2 burritos - repeat. Equipment was not the best. One yard truck had no power steering. In class was very informative. It is a mill. they start a new class every monday. and students over lap. I got my license in 3 weeks and got the first flight home after license was put in my hand. They do NOT teach you how to drive! And they will tell you that. There job is only to teach you how to pass the test!!! You wont Know nothing about trucks and or trucking when you leave. They do have job placement with werner tmc hogan stevens and a couple others. recruiters will come to class and speak with you. Prices are insane for what they offer. once working they take $50 a week out of your check til paid. price is insane for what you get. I knew all this but just wanted my license fast! I got it then worked local in pa.

 

tach! clutch! shift! that was my training. I didnt know what the hell they were talking about
