MTI Training 3/4/13 Cartersville Ga

1800 I believe

 

i dont mean to hijack yalls thread, i just read the whole thing its sounds awesome , great job, my question to yall is im torn between a private school near my house for 5,000 dollars or millis trucking ? if you can please tell me why you'd either go with millis ( cheaper, has great trainging from what i hear, have to work for them) or private school ( expensive but offer 160 hours around truck at school and you leave with the freedom to pick your own company) ? thanks for reading

 

Oh thanks that's a good piece of information to know

 

I just wanted to respond to semicrazy too. With Millis your going to have a job when finished with the school part unless something crazy happens. With another school you'll sign the forms to pay for the school and then during school you'll try and get hired by someone. I personally went to a CDL school back in 1997 and wish i'd have known of Millis then. I didn't have any problems getting hired back then but i paid something like $5000.00 back then all at once. Millis is $30.00 a weeks for school and motel --- a whole lot easier then all at once or the school payment with their interset rate included !!.

 

Hey jtp, what changed the instructors abouting to albany rather than BRF?

 

The biggest difference is class size imo. Most schools you are going to have more than the 6-12 that in a Millis Class. Fewer students means more behind the wheel time plain and simple. The advantage I guess you could say of going to a private school is company choice. If you go to the school for Millis, or Swift or any company that has a school that is who you will go to work for. Private school you start applying where ever. I would never attend a private school or company school that has more than a 6 to 1 student/teacher ratio.

 

Thanks for the information coffeeman and db2681 for your opinions/ insight I appreciate it

 

I was going to go with a private school but the majority of companies that recruit out of private schools are not on the same level as Millis. If you need to get a year in of experience otr training. Not sure you can do much better then millis for a starter company imo
