Help a trucker wannabe out!

I wasn't expecting to haul triple trailers with hazardous materials, obviously. I was just thinking it would show my versatility, which makes sense to me. If this industry doesn't look at things like that, and only cares about the endorsements relavent to what I'm shipping, point taken.

 

Fair enough.

 

It's funny you should mention that. I'm looking to pay cash and enroll in a CDL course to get my training. At this point, I want to do this ASAP. I've made my decision, I want to do this! This is the right move for me and my family.

So I need to get into a reputable trucking course in the state of PA. Does anybody have any suggestions?

 

I am seriously looking at Northampton Community College in Tobyhanna, PA.

They are PTDI certified, which appears to be the best way to select a compentent trucking school. Any comments?

If I go forward with this, I would start on June 21st.

 

Tracy,

I was also looking at Trucker Driver Institute, which costs $5k. What's appealing about them is the course is only 3 weeks. But I thought about it, and I had to wonder what exactly could be missing from the course since Northampton is a 6 week course AND PTDI certified (or accredited) or whatever.
