    Wolf is rather new to the area, i would check that companies would hire from that school before you pay them. Iknow nothing good or bad about progressive. I think star has a place in orland park. I did community college $4000. Good luck

    Companies will hire you after you graduate from Wolf. Ten + company recruiters visit the school. I'm a current student.

    thanks guys for all your info i already sign up for classes at blue horizon which was allot closer to where i am living right now and heard good reviews on the internet about them ...and my plans after getting my cdl would be to get a job local but i know with no exp in driving i most likely end up going over the road just to gain that 1 year exp and get a local job driving tankers...any ideas i open to any and all suggestions

    Mind me asking how much Blue Horizon costs? Just a heads ups to anyone around Chicago wanting to get your class A. I was driving down Cicero the other day and saw Acapulco Driving School. Now I have no idea if they are good or not but I imagine they are cheap. So anyone wanting to do this on a budget that might be a good lead.
