    Observed east of Dallas. But be advised, many carriers require 160 hours of certified schooling and I don't think this option is going to qualify ...

    I'm not sure if I should be excited or concerned about this. Not sure if it's a very good public relations move.

    I took one of those accelerated courses. I grew up around trucks and equipment and was moving dad's trucks around the yard and backing up trailers back when I was 14. I couldn't justify spending thousands of dollars to get my license when I'd had countless hours of practice with backing and moving around in a tight yard. Plus all I'll probably ever do is test drive trucks for diagnosis anyways lol.

    Appreciate the info but that company is crooked. Read the reviews. I talked to them when I was looking to get my cdl back and ran repeat ran in the other direction.
