    I am looking for any advice/experiences for driving schools within daily driving distances of these specific areas. Chattanooga TN, Cartersville GA, or N Georgia area near Lake Lanier (Specifically Forsyth County). Trying to avoid the hotel expenses for the duration of the training. I am looking to attend a 3 week course if possible in an accredited school to lower costs and avoid the lock in to a 1 yr contract to "pay back" the company. Currently doing my research now, but would appreciate any additional info that may be out there. Thanks, and Be Safe!

    Chattanooga State has a good program.

    It's 7.5 weeks and only costs $1200 and some dollars. There is also a $600 some dollar grant you can get cutting the final costs down to around $600. You can even get a gov't loan for that and you don't have to start paying it until 6 months after graduation. You can pay that off in a month and be scott free and not obligated to anyone. You won't find a deal like that anywhere. Are you a TN or GA resident?

    Yeah it use to be in Dayton and they moved it over there. I'd go through that before I would go to any of these trucking companies in Chattanooga to train.

    There is always Road Master but you'll pay way more.
