All State Career School.

ok. so i attended ASCS in lester Pa. i spent what i thought was 9 long months learning. and quite honestly i was a bit annoyed i had spend that kind of money to learn what i did, when i could have gone to a company and didnt have to pay for anything so long as i worked for them.
i never missed a day of school. and was head of my class pulling off mostly 5's on my daily chart.
in fact, i was pulling off so many 5's that the head instruct had sent me out with a nother instructor that worked just below him, just me and him, no other students, cause he thought me and the other driver instructor who were closer to my age had built a friendship and maybe they were giving me 5's cause we were " friends "
well, to MY satisfaction, and not his, i came back with an extra 5 on my chart
i graduated back in March of 08, got hired on with a company running the NE part of this wonderful country....... i was home every weekend, and spent the holidays at home.
and i owe it all to All State. seriosuly, those 6 long months that i didnt really enjoy cause i felt as tho i was wasting time with getting my truck driving career to a start really paid off.
if you look at every other truck driving school/company they you are in and out somewhere between 2 weeks - 10 weeks,
and everything they teach in the " CDL MILLS " is what we lean in 6 months, but its better, cause 6 months of learning allows it to sink in and stick with you.
at the 4 weeks schools they teach you something different every day, or every other day, at all state we learn one thing every 2 weeks, so that means for 10 days you work on the same thing.
when i graduated i decided to write a letter to ASCS down in Baltimore letting them know that they are robbing people and that 6 months was extreamly to long, and a bit of a waste of time... then when i got out there, and got offered a job running the NE making more $ then guys that have been out here for 20 years, and only being 22 and right out of school i felt that the write thing to do was to send a follow up letter back to Baltimore Md letting them now how greatful i was to have found a school like that, and that with out them i would have never gotten that job
i would always recomend this school to anyone thats looking, and if your there and getting sick of the long time... just hang in there, youll be way better off!!!!
im not saying im a super trucker, but im not by any means a crappy driver either, iv got a lot of trainning and im thankful i found ASCS
