    Katlaw Truck Driving School is near me. I went there to talk to them but they have a 4 week delay (after the first week of training). I think they are low on instructors or something. 4 weeks of sitting at home right in the middle of training makes no sense. So I ruled them out.
    Roadmaster Drivers School (ATL) had a lot of bad reviews.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    You need to contact @Chinatown Employment Consulting Services. He probably has a list of approved schools printed up and might have your application to a good one filled out already. He’ll have you all flanged up and good to go in no time.
     
    Chinatown and MetroPlex Thank this.

    Millis won't hire me as I have a gap in employment. I quit my job in 2020 to watch my newborn daughter. That sucks because I am not far from Cartersville and I think that would have been a good option for me.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    I just called R.E. West and spoke with Tina. They don't have any terminals in Georgia I think is what she said but she is checking on it and will call me right back.

    FFE Transportation has cdl school and a terminal in Atlanta.
    Headquartered in Texas, but you won't go to school there. Not sure where you will be sent for school. Maybe Burns Harbor, Indiana.
    FFE Transportation
    CDL school: 321 TECH DR., BURNS HARBOR, IN 46304

    Terminal:
