    Hi everyone, im new on here and looking for some info from previous NETTS grads. I am planning on taking the Class B course in Noth Andover MA. Has anyone taken this class, any reviews. Im wondering if it has a high success rate or if I should look elsewhere. Also I already have a DOT card, do I have to take a physical? Does NETTS drug test? I want to make sure I have a note from my doc if this is the case so I don't get kicked out before I even start.

    anyway thanks in advance,
    Newby

    I went to NETTTS in 1996, my ex-wife in 1997 and my son finished in May of this year (2013). We all went for Class A. My cousin owns a local Liqueur Distributing company and hires Class B drivers pretty often.

    Unlike Class A drivers that has an industry standard of formal training from a school like NETTTS, Class B drivers do not have these industry standards.

    99% of the drivers my cousin hires have no formal training at all. I only say this because I would hate to see you spend a lot of money getting your Class B when it will not help you get a job.

    You can go to Mass. DMV and get a free CDL Manual then study for the test and then pay for the written test and take the test. Once you get the CDL Permit then you go around and ask some companies with Class B trucks if they will let you use their truck for the road test. Normally they will want some money (a lot less than NETTTS) or they might want you to work for them once you get your Class B. That is how most Class B jobs start out.

    if ya have to ask what type of drug screen.....well

    just remember, once you hold a CDL and use it for working you will be randomly tested.....forever!

    NETTTS also random tests while you are there, iirc week six is the first test, then you are in the pool for randoms. my instructor got randomed while I was there lol

    so if you have issues with drugs, best to solve them before wasting money getting the license

    good luck! its a good school, I went to andover class of 03-12

    Don't go there, the management only wants for money and they give you the run around about getting a test once they have your money you might as well give up going there.
