    Best thing to do is call... If you needed the schooling, I would say 3 years ago it was $3000... But all you need is the testing and training, so it would be less.

    Still is 3k , but you make weekly payments of $28. And they make a weekly payment of the same amount . So its actually like your paying $1500. Now if you leave before your year is up , well then you pay it all plus they will not give you your certificate of completion untill its all payed off .

    I guess is that the way it used to be .

    That amount is if you need ALL the training... supertruckerJK stated he/she had their permit, so would only need testing and training, so I would hope they wouldn't charge the full $3000.

    Does Central offer orientation / training in Atlanta, GA? I already have my class A CDL from last year, just no experience.

    Hey tangerineGT, what are your impressions of the facility in Atlanta? I'm thinking about applying there. I live nearby and have my permit already.

    Its a nice place , its a little on the small side , but if you go there they will have you in a hotel anyways .
    Everyone was real friendly too...
    I don't know if they will transfer a permit over to another state though, so you may want to ask about that ..
