Hi all,
Schneider Bulk told me today I would need to take a refresher course of some kind before I could be brought on board, due to the time elapsed since I graduated from CDL school (7 months). The recruiter told me it could be as short as a weekend course. The school I went to does not offer a refresher course of any length. Can anyone recommend any that are in proximity to north Georgia?
Refresher Courses in or near Georgia?

Roadmaster in Chattanooga. Not 100% sure if they do weekend refresher.

I guess it doesn't have to be in Georgia. I'd travel for the right opportunity, within reason. Anyone know anything about this place: http://www.truckschool.com/the-school-national-training-inc/training-grounds/? That's a pretty sweet looking driving range they have. Makes where I went look pretty pitiful.
Chinatown Thanks this. -
Dalys Trucking Driving School in Buford; maybe.

Check Community Colleges for Refresher Courses they tend to have better prices. Some companies like Roehl, Epes, Western, Covenant, offer them. Dart will hire with one year exp in the last 10.

Just wanted to follow up on this, folks. My community college that I took my CDL course from does not offer refreshers. Daly's wanted me to pay for a "1 day/40 hour course." None of the companies that interest me offer their own schools.
I've found some places that require refresher course students have experience driving professionally. As a graduate who hasn't yet gotten a driving job I'm considered unqualified!
So, that brings me back to my question (with a slight modification)...
Does anyone know where I can take a refresher course of short duration, as someone who has yet to be employed in trucking, either in driving distance from Georgia or within a reasonable drive to a major airport in another state?Last edited: May 15, 2015

I believe Katlaw in Austell offers a one week refresher course.
