    Funding right now is dry in Lucas County, or else Trainco would be my first choice. Talked to Blackie, and he's a nice guy and straightshooter.

    Blackie is a great guy and friend. You can get a load through Trainco or you can go to a company that will reinburse you do your research there are alot of ways you could go to a school

    Hey Bobkat,
    I'm going to HR Career right now!! I'm almost done with my first week and so far it's been great! Our Instructor is really knowledgable and we've been driving since day 1. The only bad thing I can say about the place is that they told us to fill out the wrong year on our FASFA for financial aid. That made us start our classes a week later than we should have, but no big deal. So far so good.

    Hi Honor Roll,
    I did get my loan from NWST CC and started CDL training this week at HR Career Development in West Unity, OH. The school pushed me to start last Monday, despite not having my CDL permit yet... So I missed out on some initial driving time on the range which I really NEED! Now that I have the permit (Taking the exam during driving instruction), I am only at the point of backing the truck straight where the other 3 guys in my class are working on parallel, offset parking, and dock. Needless to say, I am a bit frustrated - but, I am not giving up! I just feel cheated since I missed out on precious driving time. Anyway, is there any advice you can give a beginning student like myself who needs to get these skills sharpened??? I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

    You made a wrong move just like I did I had to take it again because of that and also because I had to take time off because my mother in law died. Thank goodness the second time was free. I wish you the best of Luck Please keep in touch and ask any questions you have. Where are you going to take your CDL test?
