    Near me ( Burlington,NJ) there are two schools:
    Joseph's Driving School
    Smith and Solomon Commercial Driver Training
    I'm trying to make a choice.
    Thanks,

    I want you to know certain companies don't accept certain schools cdl training, beware of that. Do your research on the schools reviews. If you have some companies you want to go to work for, I would call them and ask them do they accept that school. I hope the best for you

    I don't have idea were I can start working after school, but I want to be independent and I will pay for school.

    Joseph's Truck Driving School is 200 hours which is really good.
    Smith and Solomon Commercial Driver Training is 160 hours which is also recommended.
    Agree with @ibcalm19 about contacting companies that you're interested in and ask which they prefer. If you don't know yet, just sign up for the cheapest one.
     
    ibcalm19 Thanks this.

    I've seen these trucks passing through Las Vegas; probably heading to California for a produce load back to Northeast.
