Really disappointed. CDL School.

CDL school now is $11,000.00 ???
I went through CDL school well over 25 years ago. It was ok not great got the job done. From everything I’ve learned over the decades it’s best to go to a company school. Keep your chin up you will make it. Maybe it will take you a couple try’s so what ?!! Keep trying you will do it never give up.

 

I remember doing my road test and the lady observing me told me to turn right, it was into a neighborhood with no truck signs. I kept going straight and she said end of test you pass.

Recent CDL A Graduates have a home a Leonard’s Express!
Leonard’s offers a tuition reimbursement program up to 10K!

 

I would be interested to see the strings attached to that offer! "UP TO" are always the keywords that get my radar up. Like the car lot that advertises "UP TO $15,000 FOR YOUR TRADE IN" Or Trucking Companies that advertise " Earn UP TO $90,000 per year."

 

With trucking companies, it means, in this case, Leonard's will pay off cdl school tuition from $10K and below. It's paid in monthly installments. Monthly installments means a driver can't be hired and have the tuition paid in full right then because many shady drivers would quit on the spot. That's why it's paid in monthly installments.

 

Over 2-3 years? I can't see them paying 1 k per month for 1 year

 

Spent about $6k Cdn over a decade ago and it was pre-trip the truck and then all the rest was seat time. Little bit of backing then wheel around the tight streets of downtown.

 

Usually 12 - 18 mos. Depends on company policy.
Some pay about $200 a month, then if the driver is still there at 12 mos. the balance is paid in a lump sum. Don't remember the company, but the ad says they'll pay cdl school tuition up to $15K.

 

The school I went to was two weeks; 10 days with weekend off.
Cost $750.00
VA wouldn't pay for it because it was too short.
The school got the job done, so that was all I cared about.

 

Don’t give up.
