    Hi all, yesterday I got my CDL A permit, and all them endorsements except bus/passenger.

    I have funding for either Interstate Driving school in Egan MN or St Cloud Tech (St Cloud MN) The Interstate school is about 31/2 to 4 weeks and is very flexable schedule. No observation, riding around with other drivers on the road. I like their program. St Cloud Tech is a 6 week program I have heard good things about it from Pathfinder, a frequent poster on this forum.

    Anybody else have any experience with either school? I would like to hear (read) your opinion. Starting a 2nd career here and would like to start off on the right foot.

    I recently hired a driver from Werner. He worked dedicated Walmart and liked it. We hired him for local.

    Hey Turtle!!! :biggrin_25525:
    Good to hear from you bro, and thanks. Glad you're liking it up there at May... I am flying up to Missoula, MT November 3rd for orientation with Watkins & Shepard. 10 days there for training then I get my truck and go out to solo.

    Now it's all about tying up some loose ends here in town and getting packed up to go. Woohoo!
