Hi all, I'm new here and looking into school/training options. What are your thoughts on this school? I see that they have programs in many locations around the States and it sounds good. Please advise.
I'm also considering their sponsor program and signing up with a company for a year, I get that people advise against that. Is this program better with that or not necessary?
A little about me, I am very flexible in terms of my timing and location and looking for OTR work that will take me around the country and that I will make good money with as well. I do not need to be home on weekends or what not as I am single and can figure things out wherever I may be. If you have any thoughts on where would be a top place for training and/or working, I'd be happy to hear.
TIA

Where is your location? Probably plenty of decent options.
We can't advise you unless we know where you live; the hiring area you live in is important.
160 is good and plenty of companies will hire from there that will give you the opportunity to see the country.Last edited: May 23, 2019

About the schooling, I'm still not sure, maybe Trenton, though if there was a good closer option that may be better for me.Chinatown Thanks this. -
Here's one I just recently found out about. You can contact them and ask questions.

Ask if they require any endorsements.
Pretty sure they do though because it's 160 hr. school.
