    I am going out on a limb here. Yet the 160 hour may only be for Class B. Make sure that isnt the case.

    Thanks guys! I'm not stupid, but tend to overthink things. I should do fine I already downloaded and am studying the CDL manual for my state and am trying to learn as much on my own as possible before I start school. Also, I have prefect health and will have no issues passing the exam.

    The 160 will also get me my CDL-A. Just like the 540 I will have to pay $35 for each individual test and $125 for the state trooper to be present.

    I actually went to nettts in north andover as well and completed the 540 hour program. I say go for it.. 540 or 160. I did the 540 because i couldnt afford to do the 160. Good luck! Its worth it!

    Good to know! Think I'll do the 160. I just hate how pushy they are. I have a job interview today and called financial aid to let them know I couldn't make our appointment and they wanted me to call my recruiter to tell him and of course he goes off on a tangent telling me that I should listen to his 50 years of experience and I'm just young and I need to just start the school while looking for a job NOW NOIW NOW, but I need to catch up on bills badly so I'm trying to ge t a part time merchandiser job and the #### guy just wouldn't let it go I told him I was going to reschedule and he wouldn't stop talking over me about how I need to just do this and don't think about it. That really pissed me off. Yes, I'm young. I'm 28. Yes, I respect my elders and their wisdom, but don't try to so obviously keep me on the hook. That really turned me off.

    Does NETTTS have weekend or night classes? Some schools do for those that don't want to quit their job until cdl school graduation. Takes about 12 weekends to complete the school this way.
