legit trucking schools near jacksonville?

There are a couple of ways you can go:
1) Bradford-Union Vo-Tech, Starke, FL costs approx $2,100 for 8-weeks

2) Roadmaster, Jacksonville, FL cost approx $3,500 for 3-weeks

3) Schneider National has a training center in Charlotte, NC, 18-month employment obligation for approx 4-5 weeks training

4) Prime Inc. has an in-house training too with only a 12-month obligation. Training last totally about 6.5 months

I attended the Bradford-Union Vo-Tech back in 1992, and found it to be a good course.

 

how about national in orange park. i started there home study an in jan go to do the driving part 120 hrs. . its accredited school with job placement after you finish (lifetime) you drive cab over's ,conventional. various transmissions. they require you to get a dot long from physical, background ck ,motor vehicle report. hope this helps

 

WHen I checked out national they had way too many students to get each one the kind of time needed for proper training in my opinion. There is another company in jacksonville, fl... americas driving academy located near the stadium and sponsored by Cypress Trucking. Max 2 students per instructor. $3500.00 FYI

 

I would personally say Roadmaster In Jacksonville... I just recently Graduated... Good Trainers (Most of them)... and a good experience for me... I loved every day of it... I even stayed nights and weekends too... You should only recieve 160 hours, I had a little over 200... Worth Every Penny... If you pay Cash... Financing for that $3500 takes it to around $9,000.... But still worth it to me... My whole graduating class became friends and still keep in touch... Out of 19 people that started in our class though... only 4 graduated...

Just something to think about...

my vote would be for Sage in Lake City. A bit of a drive, but SAGE has a great reputation - and I really like the campus I'm at in Denver

 

I just graduated from National Training and was very pleased with them , got plenty of seat time . BTW I only had eight people in my class and two instructors .

 

I graduated from National Training in March 2013. Probably not the beat school, but it is accredited and i had numerous job offers before the end of the first week. I don't think i got enough road time, but it was enough to get me to pass a CDL road test in North Carolina. National Training has a decent facility with its own private 'highway' to practice up and down shifting.
