    Worked great for me! I would recommend it to anyone. I paid a reduced amount of money, I think 3,000 since it was cash and not financed. I would say their only shady side was some of the students they accepted. I felt bad about some of the young inner city kids there. They were trying to turn their lives around and had positive attitudes but there was no way they were getting jobs between the bad driving record or criminal record.

    The school was cool. Everyday was in the class as well as yard work practicing maneuvers. The last week was mostly driving around middle Georgia. I had three pre hire letters when I was done and chose FFE out of Lancaster, TX. I loved it and got a few years in OTR and now have a local job in winters delivering petroleum products around Juneau, Alaska.

    This is really good form; student pass school. Recruiter sees the students pass the State CDL exam with high numbers, sounds like a marketing point to a student, i can get you hired & you earn this amount of money. Question, will you attend that School...probably your morale will rise see your earnings increase. (in the end, its your choice on where you may goto to work...but morale is important, you'll probably study harder when attending classes.

    Do you live in New Jersey or Kentucky? If you have tanker/hazmat endorsements and will apply for TWIC ID Card, there's lots more money to be made in hazmat/tankers. Several companies hire new CDL grads:

    Schneider Bulk
    Superior Carriers
    Tidewater Transit'
    CTL Transportation
    Groendyke Transport
    SVTN
    Trimac Transportation

    Currently in NJ, but moving to KY in June. Prefer hazmat/tanker but I can't go OTR. Spoke with Trimac and they want me to go OTR so unfortunately, they're out.
