Dairyland Diesel Driving School in Wisconsin Dells

almost any school is just good enough to get you your license
but if is endorsed by TMC it will be for most large carriers
best education comes at community colleges
but you really learn out on the road doing it

 

Have u considered Millis Transfer. .. it's been a great starter company for me and they have a school in Wisconsin. .. As well as freight

 

Gotta back this up, almost all of the Millis drivers I've spoken with are pretty happy, which is saying something because the vast majority of the workers in this industry are pessimistic. Myself included.

 

Well of u go van I t would be hard to beat Millis as a starter company... especially where you live. You'll either get a keyworth t700 or a 680... All trucks are less then 3 years old. Millis has pretty good pay for starting as well. I am not saying it's the best company long term ( although it is for some). But just getting in the industry it's a good way to get ur cdl ... make decent money ... run gd miles in a new truck lots of these companies are pretty bad to newbies. Gd luck man. PS I only brought it up because our main office is in Black River Falls. .. and we have a school in Richfield wi. Lots of freight out there ... means extra visits by the house if that's something you would value. I have kids so for me doing otr. I like to get by the house when ever possible.

 

Roehl is good..I did the rdtc Marshfield. I couldn't be happier with equipment. I run do much I could careless about an inverter. I also run van but there are plenty of flatbeds at Roehl...close to home for you and might be less expensive.

 

and after six months or a year u could move on of u wanted...starting in a truck is just that...Roehl is safety based, not a bad idea when yur starting out.

 

haha badger719, my last two posts were on the phone and i cannot type much or fast. RDTC is fairly simple, show up, do as told, learn basics of driving and get CDL...cost about $3K. If you go flat you then go to the securement training for a few days in Gary, then you go out with your trainer. This is my favorite part of Roehl...you go 9-14 days with your trainer and then for the most part you either make it or don't, then they....throw you out to the wolves so to speak. You now have what it takes to do the job, you just have to do it without a trainer or person in seat 2. I found this part very challenging but rewarding as well. Again, i'm not a roehl recruiter but have gone through the process. Another one to look at close by is Schneider to be fair. From what I understand it's run a lot like Roehl. I wish you the best, apply at a few places and you will find the one you want. I agree on the CDL School part...it's just to get your CDL, the real training comes out on the job with your trainer and then while you are solo. No need to spend big bux on a "special school".

 

Have not actually gone there, but did look into them earlier this year for a refresher course which they don't really like to do. They are a 6 week if I remember right, and only take a few students each session, so you get a lot of actual learning time, unlike many of the assembly line schools. If you are paying for it yourself, then you won't owe a company a set amount of time for going through their school. The place was also recommended by a couple of other people I know, one of whom was an instructor at another WI driving school.
