    I missed the cut off date to attend my local community college class so I am trying to get information between the 2 schools. I have not really seen anything recent on either one of them but both seem to have horror stories. After graduation I would like to go local/regional flatbed or tanks.

    Have you contacted Cross Country TDS out of Thomasville? I went through them a few years back and they are pretty good. It is a family run operation. I do go there every few months still to teach GPS's.

    I need to keep it local. Would take me hours to drive back and forth everyday and definitely couldn't afford a hotel. But thank you for your response

    They have on site a bunkhouse. You might see what they have to offer.

    Call the companies you're interested in and ask which they accept. If they accept both, go to the cheapest.

    Here are some companies that hire new CDL grads, if you haven't decided yet:

    CTL (Comcar website)
    Superior-Carriers
    Howard Transportation
    Maverick (weekends home program)
    McElroy (weekends home program)
    Melton Truck Lines
    Cypress Truck Lines
    TMC

    I just graduated from Charlotte Truck Driver Training School and enjoyed it. Was it perfect no, but, I learned a lot and the instructors that are good are very good.
    If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

    Hey Krodg, I understand they have a weekend training option. Something like 9 weeks long Are you familiar with that? How many students were in your class?


    Thanks
