Ok so I want to change careers and get into driving trucks inSouth Caroline but I don’t want to go through a company to get the training I want to go the third part route that way I won’t be stuck in a contract. Anyone know any truck driver training courses around Spartanburg, Greenville, Gaffney, Landrum, etc.... and not Greenville tech. I need advice.
A couple question about getting my CDL through a third part institute in South Carolina.

Which type trucking are you interested in. Some tanker companies have specific schools they hire new cdl grads from.

You're never "stuck".. Drivers are only "stuck" when they refuse or cannot pay for the training that they contracted to complete and pay for. This isn't slavery, indentured servitude or anything like that. Most of the time it comes down to cost and how long someone can go without a job. CDL training is what it is. the VAST majority of all of the school train to the standard of acquiring the CDL.. there isn't a nickles difference in the schools at that stage.. the continued training is OK if you have the time to complete it. Most tech colleges have people riding around or driving in specific areas or routes improving their rudimentary skills for weeks.. while those who attend the shorter CDL schools are out making a (small) salary applying their rudimentary skills in the real world... hopefully with a trainer who has at least a couple of months more experience than their student.
Aamcotrans and Chinatown Thank this. -

I looked at TDI recently. With a price tag of ~$6k though, someone over there needs to do a competitor market analysis. Both cvta.org and napftds.org will let you do a search for schools in your area.

Sage is nationally accredited and not very far from you at all
