    Hello I have been researching cdl schools in my area and have it narrowed down to two, mainly because they are within an hour from me. One is out of cumberland county college called bradway trucking, the other is a private school called superior driving out of pleasantville NJ. Does anyone have any opinions on either of these? I was originally thinking the community college school but now have found this other one.
    The bradway trucking course is 6 weeks 240 hrs, they say you will learn in a realistic driving environment running actual loads to customers. The superior trucking course says it prepares you for all cdl tests, doubles, triples, hazmat, tanker, ect. and also gives a OSHA compliant forklift course with it, this is 4 weeks 160 hours. Both are about the same cost. I am thinking that the bradway course is more one on one, and the superior course will be bigger classes? I am going up to superior on monday to check it out. Any advice or knowledge on these 2 schools is greatly appreciated. TY John:biggrin_25514:

    I went to superior. They were a pretty good school. The equipment is really rundown, but I did learn a lot there, and it only took me about a month to get my CDL. They also have a 95% job placement guarantee. I was one of four in the class.
