CDL Schools

Question, I don't need a CDL training, been in the game a while.....I have a protege that I took under my wing....he got his CDL at a place called CDL express (Houston, TX). Does anybody have any info on them? Has anybody gone through them or know someone who has? This young man can't get a job because he doesn't have a certificate of completion. I got a feeling they took his money. It seems like a refresher class, and not only that, they test in mostly automatics so he has a restriction on his license a

 

How can anybody think this place is legit? That's what's heppens when people do things in a rush

 

That's exactly right. I haven't been asked for the certificate either but I had to tell them where I went to school. They had to verify and make sure it was accredited. This guy only had 5 hrs of training and didn't even train in an actual semi. You're right baout a couple of things. The lack of experience and the automatic restriction is killing him. He's never even been in actual semi.

 

I had no idea about these schools. I lived in Murfreesboro, TN before I moved to Memphis. Murfreesboro had two truck driving school, both thousands of dollars each. I went to Truck Driver Institute there. In Memphis, they have Swift and Werner training schools, and a vocational one. I'm thinking those express schools may be good if you're trying to do local work. He wanta to work for Panther or FedEx driving a straight as an OO. FedEx wants drivers that have unrestricted CDLs

 

I can't say for myself because I didn't go to that school. I can say they're a starting place.
