Quick one day CDL schools vs 4 weeks or more?

It's not like the old days; today it's difficult to find decent work with that one day school. Some companies that hire drivers with only a cdl permit will hire you, but you still must go through their lengthy driver training program.
Attend a 4 week school and be done with it
Where are you in Texas?

 

You could not learn in one day something this involved.

If it is one thing I find horrible is to watch someone move a semi for the first time in their lives both forward or backwards. The poor truck is going to suffer some.

Today's push button trucks, you could probably drive it. But you will discover that some automatic transmissions will turn the whole thing into a kids carnival bounce house trying to back a trailer anywhere. Or worse some rigs are programmed with a so called urge to move causing you to stand on the brakes.

You better off in school with trucks.

Even if you got a CDL under a shade tree or in school or whatever, your real schooling begins when dispatcher hands you your first papers on a load to go get far away.

 

The school must have some inside connection with a DMV testing center. Most drivers fail the pre-trip inspection, which must be done correctly before the road test. Evidently, the one day school has some insider help to get a cdl that quickly. If Maverick will hire you, then go for it.
Western Express (flatbed & dry van) hires drivers with a cdl and no experience or school, but they also have an extensive OJT training program for those drivers.

 

Speaking of failing, I would have to relearn the pretrip the way my state would require if it during my test. Otherwise my way would fail believe it or not. Never mind that my way is bought in blood, sweat and tears. The state has a specific process in a pretrip for example and it has to be by the prescribed book.

I have my own reliable way of dealing with ordinary company testers for pretrips. But that wont fly with the state tester...

 

Ok, make sure you take the truck through again and again and again. Run it in day time run it again at night, run that in reverse pattern, do it in sun do it in rain. Do it in rush.

Over and over and over. IF the trainer thinks you are addicted. tell him you are so soaking into that route that when it's test day with the DMV you would be giving the exam person a nice ride.
