Need cdl training, will be 21 next month.

The company I work for requires a CDL + gratuation from an acredited school with the proper amount of class time plus driving instruction (4 weeks total). The companies like prime and others who give you that CDL with accreditation are free. You just have to commit to them for 1-2 years. But you probably knew that.

 

Vo tech school it's not that much. As a trucking company will charge

 

Community college trucking school I think is your best bet. They are usually very inexpensive and you could probably get financial aid. Also tends to be some of the best schooling for a CDL that there is. Best wishes!

 

Call a trucking school directly and get info. Many finance you. Some companies have their own schools but will lock you in for a while to drive with them.

 

Millis is great from what I have read on here.

If your looking to go to school on Own thier is 2 companies that do in house financing at 18% (ack) Federal Pell Grant will cover a good Portion at some schools
WOiA will pay for it also but could take 4 months. Thier may be other programs in your area that will assist you.
Research Everything you can I been studying and taking notes for 2 months.

I learned about Millis mostly here. I have not seen a complaint, and I have not seen one driver disrespect anyone here and they have given out good information.

 

Research Prime. Im here now and overall its been good. The thing is any company who will pay you back for your training costs will pay you less your first year and will require a time commitment.

Prime has a 1 year agreement but they cover everything, hell they even feed you while you are here and its not bad food. Added bonus is they let you draw $200/week until you get your cdl then after you get your cdl you are hired and you finish up your traini g with $750/week min until you move on to your own truck.

Also their terminal in springfield is awesome, weight room, basketball court, movie theathet, pool tables ect..ect

Imo it would be stupid to go anywhere else as a student driver for your 1st year. Its not all perfect many of the teachers treat you like a number at 1st but long as you get the permit and do what is expected of you, they become more friendly.

 

Springfield what State?
