    I'm partial to this one but I don't know anyone that went there nor do I live in Texas. There's just something about the quality of the cinematography in their video that clicks with me.

     
    IluvCATS and Razorwyr Thank this.

    Try not to overthink it. Just try to complete a 160 hr. course and you're good to go with about any company.
    Some companies such as Old Dominion Freight Lines and some tanker outfits have certain schools they hire new cdl grads from, but most companies just want a 160 hr. course.

    I'll call that college on Monday when their open. Yeah I think I'm kinda over thinking it... I called Richland college yesterday they said they stopped their CDL program.
    I'm mostly concerned with getting a cdl program that has 160 hours, and is accredited and not some hole in the wall place.

    I guess I'll be going with continental trucking school here in Dallas. Because I really can't find another school that is much better and its $3400. Continental is 200 hour accredited school but a lot of what I read people talk bad about it saying they wasted their time and money wouldn't recommend it to anyone etc.
    Reading those reviews on here about it, on trucking truth and google always makes me worried... :(

    What do you guys think I should do?
    Does anybody know if continental does hazmat endorsements?
