I just finished a company sponsored 4 week training at one of the best technical colleges in the country for trucking. I got a certificate of completion but it's not accredited. The school also has a 10 week program that is accredited and you go through all that graduation stuff and get a real certification.

Companies don't care about a piece of paper just that you have a clean record and experience. Some people are great students but can't apply what they learned out in the real world. So experience is everything. No matter where or how you get your CDL they all say the same thing on that piece of plastic.

Congratulations on getting your CDL!

Not true. Every company that entertained hiring me and the company that did hire me, wanted a copy of my certificate. I am not a unique example.
