Close to 8 grand for my loan
1 year later still owe almost 7. Do yourself a favor and go to southwest or a cheaper driving school DO NOT pay 7k for a CDL you'll regret it financially. If you have a GI bill AIT should be ok great school but WAY overpriced. 2-3k is the most you should ever pay for a freaking licence.

8 grand ? More people should think about attending a CDL school in Illinois. Schools charge there $1,500-$2,000. My school had a lot of guys from out of state.
Barry, are you leasing from Prime ? -
Yeah, I ended up passing on them and going to SWTDT because, even though I went on the GI Bill, the sticker shock still drove me away. Plus, the shorter course that I went to wouldn't eat up as much of my benefits (I still have 7 months left to put towards online college classes). I was really happy with the training I received, too. Was AIT's training good at least, even if way overpriced?
-
No, not leasing from Prime. Still don't feel confident enough to lease or purchase from a dealership. I know I bashed their lease program in another thread and that's my opinion of Prime and their lease program. I'll make another thread on their team pay.

If I could do it over again I would have taken the longer course with AIT they had a 3 month course same price, but you could get a Pell grant with it bringing it down to around 3k. The instructors were top notch my education was worth every penny. Everyone at the school is friendly. It's not a bad school it's just too expensive.

i went to SWTDT they suck they don't even have job placement there. I was unemployed 3 months until I found a job on my own .... I heard ait offer job placement are you driving now?

Well AIT paired up with Werner you'll be prehired there in 2 days if u sign your life away for 7900$ you'll be well on your way to 500-600$ a week! Go to any trucking school that is accepted by major carriers. FYI I am not mad about going to AIT loved the instructors.
-
You have to put in applications to trucking companies and call them to get a job. Nobody is gonna pull you by the leash.
-
Do you drive for Werner?
-
Prime Inc. Don't drive for Werner unless you're gonna train there that's the only way to make money.
