    I went to Schneider National's school and graduated the program but never actually got the CDL. Long story short I just didn't feel comfortable and there were some serious issues. This was well over four years ago. I'm looking at possibly getting back into it but I am thinking that something like a community college program would be best. I want to get the best training possible and I prefer to have a high degree of confidence. I'm looking to avoid company programs if possible. Any suggestions or advice?

    Ridge Career Center in Winter Haven is also a good school.

    Thank you, I will look them over. I knew of Roadmaster but not these two.

    Had a bad experience with Roadmaster here in Orlando. They let me get 1.5 wks in to the wk program then told me my financing wasn't approved and that I needed a co-signer. Would recommend making sure financing is all set before you start. Eliminate that possibility...
