    Thanks to this board for providing an outstanding source of information.

    My query is whether I can attend a Tech school or community college CDL program in a state different than my residency without paying out of state tuition rates. I understand that I would probably not be grant eligible to reduce costs further.

    I will be returning later this year from overseas and am open to training anywhere. My native state does not offer these types of programs and I have a preference for them as they often offer a longer training window which I feel will benefit this newbie greatly. My goal is not only to secure employment but also to be comfortable and well trained behind the wheel when I start.

    Many of the CC and tech school programs in the south seem very attractive for their cost and also that many of these states offer bountiful employment options.

    Anyone with info. on this or am I best suited to contact each individual school?

    Thank you for your time. Look forward to getting on the road.

    I had looked into one in Georgia and I am in Mississippi...it was going to be twice the tuition for in-state students for me to attend. I found one in my home state and am hoping to start in a couple of weeks. Good luck!
