NBI trucking school in Winter Haven, Fla.

when i was there ..two years ago they had two trucks which we trained on pulling a 22 footer.. which is believed to be more difficult to back then a 53 as it has shorter reaction time. One was a day cab and one was a sleeper.. for road practice and the test we drove a full 53 footer with a sleeper tractor.. they have two compasses now one in lakeland and one in Tampa.. I think there trying to sell the one in Lakeland

 

So you had a good experience at this school? Did you get a good job after graduation? If you dont mind could you tell me a little about what it was like going there?

 

They just teach you what you need to know to pass the test.. Owner is the tester.. Was 5800 for the school.. If you want more training I would go to ridge or a community college. If your records are clean you will get prehires.. You learn everything you need to know on the road anyways..

 

I have a DUI but its 14 years old....and only two speeds and a seat belt in 10 years. Think those will make a big difference?
