Want some opinions as to what are reputable company's to get the
truck training thru....etc. Schnieder, Swift, Prime, Cl England etc...
And is there a advantage of going out of state to train to use a particular
company..... what about the non-company training...ie CRT in Houston
only $695..?![]()

cdl road test in houston is not the place to go. i went there and was going to get my cdl, put 350 down started taking my written tests and realized that i was wasting money.
first thing it is not a school. all they do is give you study materials to study at home, then take a pre test at there "office"(portable building on blocks) after getting a permit your "instructor" will work with you for about 3 days, teach you just enough to pass the road test.
the trucks are all automatics. you will learn nothing about operating a big rig, just how to steer, park and inspect the truck.
finally after you get your cdl, good luck finding a job. nobody recognizes crt as a school so you will have to go to another school before working.
I am starting roadmaster in san antonio on monday. already been accepted at tmc after i graduate. my credit was not very good but i only had to put down $1500 and that included hotel.
hope this has helped and good luck -
Thanx for the heads up, $695 seemed dirt cheap, and now i know why!
They did idicate they wern't a school and thats why it was so cheap...
i'm going to get my training were there is tuition reimbursment, another
words i don't want to pay if a company's willing to foot the bill, and hire
me on afterwards to boot... -
glad i could help, good luck to you

1. I was told yesterday that the down payment was $2500. Just wondering how yours is $1500.
2. How do they set you up with a company before you even start school? I am assuming tuition reimbursement.
3. My credit isn't very good either (low 600's). I am wondering if that is in the same ballpark as yours because I will need financing.
Thanks a lot! -
Bearsox, have you looked into Roehl. I think they are 2500 and they are located in Marshfield, should be pretty close for you.

I am pre-approved at Schneider. I was thinking about Roadmaster so I won't be stuck in a contract. -
that you and you alone will have to pay
as second and third co's wont touch it..............

I got the pre-hire on my own so I could devote my entire time at school on learning without trying to fit in a job search
my credit score needs a telescope and clear skies to see yours you will be just fine with that
