All State Truck School Philly PA

So there's this trucking school up near Philly PA that I have been looking into and I was wondering if any of you fine people so happen to have went there or know anything about it. Any input or reviews bout it? Should I go? Or should I look at a different school or option?

And for those who don't know anything bout it. Here's some quick info: They have been around since the 70s, the school is somewhere between 10-11K(forgot exact #), and the school is for 6 months.

Any help is appreciated and if you have any questions, ask. I'm here to answer cuz I need help figuring out what I should do.

 

Yeah but if all possible i would like to avoid a situation where i sign a contract for two years or so. Then again, what is your input on that? I just fear being stuck with a company that i won't like, screw me over, or not pay me a good salary.

I'll give them a call. Pretty weird for them to not have a price for the training though. Don't know if i would call it a red flag in my book, but something to point out nonetheless.

 

I've heard good things about roehl and a family member just told me recently to look into Schneider, JB Hunt, and Covenant as well. I have also told myself to get all endorsements as every person and source I have read and talked to says there is no reason not to.

For what I want to do, I have no idea. I want to drive either regional or national at first to gain the experience and eventually move on to local as I want to go back to college at some point, just my main and current goal right now is to increase my income.

Im just a 21 year old so no veteran support and I can't do state assistance due to other complications. But either way out of pocket won't be a problem as I will be looking into all 4 of these trucking companies instead if they are good companies with good schools. As long as I don't sign a contract longer than a year.

 

Gotcha. But I don't have a CDL yet so that information is just there for when I am out of contract and what not correct? And that basically all the companies you listed are good, it's just whoever will pay more is the one I should aim for right?

 

In that case would it be just easiest to get experience by company sponsored training like roehl? Or is a private school a better option?
