Enrolled with Dootson School of Trucking.

That's great news! Congratulations.

 

I did a no hassle first lesson with Dootson awhile back. They have some good trainers. But the catch to the class and why it's so cheap is that it's the minimum to get your CDL. What they don't tell you is that most companies won't hire you without any experience if you don't go to a school that offers 160 hours of training. Some companies require 240 hours of training. Not saying you won't get hired somewhere, because some of their students have been hired and I've read stories about how some of their students couldn't get hired anywhere, but it is harder without the 160 hours. Just thought I'd pass along the info I learned when I was researching Dootson. Good luck.

 

I'm attending their orientation tomorrow to include into my options, I had my CDL 6 years ago, 2 years verifiable experience with kllm, and now that I'm looking to get back out, this cheap solution might work out for me...... $48 a session and $265 to test at DMV in my case might be better than $1700 (cheapest I found) up to $5600 refresher course or worst, one year commitment to one of the training carriers, whom I have nothing against because at a worst case scenario, I will sign up with one or two of them. If you look at Schneider's website,they do list dootson as a school, I'm not saying that it's an approved school, nevertheless it is listed......good luck!

 

How's it going? Any updates?
