Greenville Techincal College Truck Driver Training with Brian Chambers.

I recently enrolled in Greenville Technical College's Truck Driver Training program.
They're ranked approx. #7 across the nation and #2 in the southeast.

Has anyone on this forum attended Greenville Tech?
Please respond. I'd like to learn more about everyone's experience.
Thank you.
I spent $1140 as an out-of-county student. Cost for a Greenville-county-resident was $940, with 1-year residency.

Out of state is $3440. I considered attending Fox Valley Tech in Appleton, Wisconsin before I was admitted to Greenville Tech.
I saved almost $4,000 in room and board.
Did anyone here go to Greenville Tech?

Edit: I'd have to spend $4,000 at Extended Stay America to attend school in Wisconsin vs. move into my father's house for 10 weeks and save $4k. Is skid pad training worth the added expense?

 

Holy everything, Batman.

Thanks for the responses. I'll check out Goodwill in NC and Millis Transfer.

Here's a virtual bitcoin for your effort.
Seriously, thanks for reply. I will look into both.
Cheers.

 

Really? 50k first year? I'm all for that. Please explain.

I can stay OTR for 44 weeks per year for $50k...

EDIT: I'd stay OTR (solo driving) for 51.5 weeks per year for $50k if that's actually attainable. I'd be debt-free in 18 months.

 

Thanks for the info, 77smartin. I'm looking into it, now.

 

I checked their website. It seems they run nothing but dry vans.. Is that correct? I'm not into that. I don't want to wait around for "bumping docks" . I want flatbed/skateboards. I'll get fat, otherwise. $25 per tarp is OK with me. Beats the hell out of sitting around and waiting..

EDIT: That's a slick website, though. Pretty cool, if you asked anyone. Also, they're paying .36 per mile.. That's pretty good. But, that's a per diem discount for IRS, I think.
