    Hello, I'm from central new jersey.
    I'm checking this site out because my boyfriend lost his job last year due to outsourcing and with the job market so bad he's considering going into the trucking industry. He likes to drive, has a clean record and is now searching different driving schools in hopes of obtaining his CDL and finding a job.
    He found one school 630 miles from us charging $4400 for a 3 week class. I don't know if I should name the school, but when I looked it up there are rumors of it being unsafe, not prooviding mileage promised and scamming people looking for jobs in these hard time.
    Doing more research I came across this website and am now trolling through it trying to find truck driving schools closer, cheaper and with better reputations.
    Any help would be appreciated...:biggrin_25522:

    Hi, and welcome!

    I have two ideas for you - firstly, try the search facility on the tool bar at the top of the page, its third from right. Type in the name of any companies you are thinking about, and see what you find!
    Second - post a new thread, maybe in the 'questions from new drivers' thread, asking for advice.
    Bear in mind that not everyone will post their opinions on the forum, (in case employers read them!), but some will PM ya if they have things to say.

    Hope it goes well, its a new life for both of you, and will be just a big an adjustment for you as for him. Be sure to check out the Ladies Room too, and get yapping there!
