    Anyone know of trucking schools in NC that offer weekend classes? I know of Trans-Tech in Conover and CrossCountry in Thomasville. Any others? I want to get my cdl but cannot afford to go to community college and be out of work for 8-12 weeks. Would love to go to Davidson Community College but just can't afford to not work for now. Thanks for any advice guys.

    Sampson CC is near Kenansville. Kernersville is near Winston Salem

    I had a friend get his class A from Cross Country in Thomasville. He speaks highly of the school. Definitely more of a CDL mill then the community college route but that's not always a bad thing. I think it was around $3000 for the 16 week Sat and Sunday course....

    Ahhh....just googled it..to far. Still, less than $500 would almost be worth the trek for weekends.

    I got my cdl at cross country in thomasville nc . Yeah like ncmickey stated it is a cdl mill. I got out of that school without knowing how to do a straight line backup lol. One of the instructor is also the person that " passes " you on your cdl test. I showed up and he passed me without doing a pretrip or backing up the truck.
     
    bbh777 Thanks this.

    I may look at Millis. Lots of people on here have spoken highly of them. Celadon has a terminal here in Kernersville, but you have to go to Indy for their school then team drive for at least 6 months. Not sure if I want to do that or not. Still an option though I guess.
