    I would recommend it. It's a one time thing, hopefully. I was reminded of a story I heard once where two people stayed in a room. One peraon, knowing they would fail a drug test protested his roommate to pee for him. When the roommate refused the guy sprinkled some coke on his food and both people failed.

    True? Who knows, but it reminds me how twisted some people that you don't know can really be. Buy the room for a few days for peace of mind, you will make that money back in days anyways.

    A few days? I thought cdl training lasted about 3-4 weeks. How long do schools usually have you in a hotel for?

    Oh I thought it was orientation, I'd still opt for the solo room. The school I attended made you partner up but I got lucky, was local. If your worried about partnering up with someone I'd go to a local school.

    I feel ya brother, not keen on sharing a room with others I don't know, fortunately the companies I was with put me in hotels all by my lonesome, but I came in as experienced, not a noobie, but if I was told I'd be sharing a room, I'd ask if I could have my own room and see if they would cover half the cost, and I'd cover the other

    Dear Blue,

    ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS...

    HAVE YOUR OWN MONEY!!! NEVER START BY OWING A COMPANY/SCHOOL MONEY THAT THEY WILL HOLD OVER YOU...

    And I AGREE, TRY NOT TO SHARE A ROOM WITH STRANGERS, Class Mates or not!

    You never know about WANNA BE TRUCKERS!?!?!?

    Do Good and Be Safe.

    If they assign you a room mate just tell them you just got out of prison and are looking forward to sharing a shower. They will pay for a new room leaving you alone.
