Hey all, this has been quite a helpful site in many ways, and I hope I'm not being redundant in my query here, but here goes: I have a place here in Toledo, Ohio called "Trainco" I could go to get CDL training, cost is $4k. I read all the articles here on training, but have a few more specific I'd like to ask. For one, anyone have any personal exp with this school? I could maybe go to a "paid" training company, but from some of the experiences I hear of is like selling a $5,000 wedding ring for a mere $75 bucks in return. I guess what I'm asking is if I could pay the $4k, is it a no brainer to go that route? I guess I'd rather pay the $4k and have the freedom and ability to choose any job I want, and possibly make a whole lot more money the first year than the original $4k I save. Is that a fair assumption? One more quick one, I assume I'd still need to drive with a mentor for some weeks or whatever, how would I be able to do that going through a private school? Why would anyone want to hire me knowing they have to pay the wage of a mentor to drive with me. Is this an obvious downside t a private school, or not a big deal at all? Thanks in advance :)
