    South Florida State College Truck Driving Academy in Avon Park is the best school in Florida to get your CDL. If you live close enough you gotta check em out. New class every month , 4 week class. Great facility, train on 10 speeds so theres no restriction on your license.

    Thanks for spreading the word, fam. How much is tuition? Do they accept WIOA grants? Do any companies sponsor CDL training there?

    The 4 week program , 160 hrs is 6995. Yes they take WIOA . Classes are small so plenty of time in the trucks.

    $7k is ridiculous..

    I could go to Sage in Fort Pierce and get a penthouse on the beach for a month for that price :)

    7k is lil steep for a CDL course. The 8 to 10 week CDL course near where I'm located is only $2500 at the Technical College. The hope grant will pay for it if the WIOA doesn't.

    Sage? yeah ok. Go for it , 2500 for 8 weeks? Sounds like the Dollar store of trucking schools. Hope it works out.

    Rationalize it how you want... if you insist on paying the 7k. My cousin got his CDL from the same school (Savannah Technical College) and he had no problem securing a job afterwards. Several recruiters actually showed up to the school during their training to offer them jobs.
    Crazy thing is that people would rather go to Roadmasters and pay 7k, than to spend a fraction of the cost at a Technical school that offers the same thing at a third of the cost. Some people think it has to be a deeper reason for trucking schools deciding to price gouge

    Lol, you must have confused Sage with some other school :)

    Now go back to recruiting for your overpriced Bozo school.
