    Planning on attending HACC for their cdl course in the near future. I would appreciate some outside comments, other then the recruiters.
    I will be in the part time class so I can keep my full time job.
    I have never driven a rig nor had a cdl. How many tries will I get to pass the test for the initial $5100 cost of the program?
    Will I land a job right out of school? Will decent compainies recruit "in class"?
    Will I be working for peanuts?

    The training period is always pretty rough due to low pay. But tons of companies will give you pre-hire letters. Most Decent Schools should help with job placement if you need it.
