    Ok I found a school in Green Cove Springs Fl. that has a 5 day course (they also have 1 and 2 days). Another one 8n Forsyth Ga has a 3 week one. Would a 3 week course look better on a job resume than a 5 day course?

    Not trying to beat a proverbial dead horse with a stick, I just don’t want to waste money on something and not get hired.

    Its not so much the hiring. Just the clearing house for drug detection tests now and the insurance against your record if any.

    And the company probably will put you through THEIR refresher.

    One side of me laughs at such waste. In past decades if you held a CDLA or even a Class A that far back, they handed you the keys and off you go.

    Today they want to test, train, run around with a minder.. er trainer for weeks months and on and on and on.

    Forget it. I did not sign up to be team.

    And Mr Flipflop would not benefit anyway from 1000 hours of such training, such as it is. What does he go out and do? Dunk the swiftie rig into the deep river.

    One final question; would these training facilities even be open at this time due to the covid? According to their websites they are, but I haven’t called any of them yet. I want to decide which one I’d like to go to.
