    Does the cdl school have any job placement help. Some do, but just the bare minimum.

    It's mentioned minimally on their website. I'll be talking to them about it as my classes progress.

    It's 21 hours of one-on-one driving time. This school requires that you already come in with your CLP, so there's no classroom time at the school. The ELDT "classroom" time was completed in conjunction with the school online, so presumably those hours would be considered as well. Think that makes a difference?

    Ask the school how many hours the certificate will show. 21 hours of driving time is very good. Maybe the ELDT time also counts. Ask about that also.

    Just a heads up; avoid Rinaudo. They will screw you and they have driver facing cameras.
