CDL schools near cleveland, information?

Look at google for your area.
Then click on the maps for Clevland.
"Seach nearby" then truck driving,,, then truck driving schools,,, will give all in area.

Try to stick with "PTDI" ratted schools, as these will be your best bet. then community colleges,, the state makes sure you don't get rippped off fly by night schools.

Myself I have studed and passed all written except for dangerous goods. Al;so have had my hazmatt background check. This means one more cent a mile about .75 cents more an hour.
Do this after passing the first three written requirements from the state for your CDL.
This will give you more time to learn the other things you need to learn at school.

Also you can use the background check for a "TWIC" card. Department of Homland security check. Background from your hazmat check. Then you willl defently get hired/keep your job over other drivers.

Not sure if this helps. late at night.

 

Have you looked into TDDS above Youngstown? I start there Monday so I don't have any input as of yet, but it looks like a good, solid school.

 

Hey The Ritz, Tri C has a Truck driving academy their website address is
www.tri-c.edu/WORKFORCE/TRANSPORTATION/Pages/ClassACDLTraining.aspx
They take training grants through the Employment Connection their # is 216-664-4673. The Truck Driving Academy is located at 23555 Euclid Ave, Euclid, Ohio # 216-987-3226. I looked into them, but i can't remember why I decided to go another route. I hope this info helps. Good Luck!

 

This may be too late....?

Tri-C is one. That is in Parma if you didnt now, but im sure you do. Dont know whereabouts you are or how familiar with area you are but there is one on 82 a few miles down on the right going West from 42. Forgot the name. Then if you went out to Akron area which is about an hour from you, there is Hamrick.

Good luck.

[I apologize, I looked at your location and you are in Parma]

 

Found it. The one on 82 is called Great Lakes Truck Driving School. Its in Columbia Station. But.. if you decide to go to Tri-C thats not bad either. I worked at a truck shop in Medina (Mechanic, not driver) and there was an old timer there that went to the college for driving back in the day. He said he liked it cause they got a lot of driving in. Then again, in the last 10 years Brunswick has been built up like a new Cleveland.. I can only imagine how enjoyable it may have been driving around Parma, Middleburg HTS, Strongsville in a truck....
