Near Orlando, school recommendations for a wannabe?

One Saturday a month they have an open house that you can go meet the staff, current students, and see the training grounds. Free hotdogs.

 

H-D checked out your thread on National. Lots of positives. Sounds like they really do try and care. I haven't seen anyone else doing the webinars and open house thing. Bruce did go over the open house thing with me. Think i'm gonna try to get up there in Jan. and have a look and listen. Thanks. Would like to make one thing clear to everyone about my previous post. My coworker had nothing bad to say about TDI.Said he had a good experience with them.

 

National is very easy going. Great instructors! I really did learn alot there.

 

Read my thread on Mid Florida Tech, since you live in Orlando its by far your best option and they wont rape you like those CDL mills, good luck.

 

PTEC in St. Pete is where I went. Just graduated in Feb... Good bunch of People there (Laura, Al and Steve) and they make sure you get 1,000 miles of road-time. 9 wks (you'll actually test out for the CDL before the end, at about 6 wks if you are ready), about $2300 with plenty of seat-time... They even had a Federal Govt. group down from DC to film their Road Test route to be a model for other schools.

Classes are Monday - Thursday 7:30am - 3pm (half hour for Lunch)
