    Seems like a good deal. It can be boring running the same route every day, but some people like the predictability. Hope it works out fine for you.
    If you have any problems, there's a free school in Detroit/Sterling Heights,MI you can consider. Use it as a backup plan.
    Our approved Detroit CDL Training Location:
    6500 15 Mile Rd | Sterling Heights, MI 48312
