10,000$ and 6 months for cdl?

$300 and borrowed a buddies truck and proof CDL through an approved third party tester in florida

 

i thought NJ schools were expensive averaging around $4000 for a 4 week course. only one community college here that is $3665, but i'm not even sure if their website is up to date.

 

3600 at community college here. 4 weeks. 10 k is outrageous.

 

$10,000? That's your first year salary in trucking!

 

Yeah but how did you get a job after that. Thats what I did 10 years ago for my class B, easy to find a job driving straight truck local. BUT, did the same thing a little over a year ago for my class A, Still have not been able to find a job driving anything bigger than a Drywall boom or dual axle dump.

Would love to go OTR, but keep getting the same thing, not enough experience, and refresher course would not work.

 

geez....i did 380hrs at the local community college here and only paid $854

the comm coll route is the best to go if you can get in one of those programs and generally they are tied in with good companies.....as well as the usual suspects

the pdti will matter to alot of companies, usually the better ones......to some it won't....but, well, if they don't care the quality of graduate they get, that should tell you something about the company as well

better to go to the pdti school if you can get into one

choice of schools is just as important as choice of company....you'll either be pleasantly surprised and well trained or get shoved through with just enough to get your license and telling horror stories...there really seems to be no in between

do your homework....starting here is a really good choice......

good luck to you

 

Half of my student loans with ASC don't start the repayment process until 2015. Only the portion that is not Federal Student Loans is being paid by me right now. Those are the loans I had to take out b/c my FAFSA score was way too high.

 

i'll be honest it wasnt easy took a year and move outta florida and a little bit of luck and history fudging. but in the end id do it all over again for the simple fact i started with a small company that actually cared to teach me the ropes of pullin heavy haul got otr exp. from runnin 6 states and made decent money to boot

 

That was a good price for ur license well done. I did 200 hrs and paid 1500 in 3 installments and walked out with a CDL and a local AG gig. Why are these schools trying so hard to jipp the little guy?
