Profile For Dominic D.

Thank you "old school" for your eye opening response. the information is honestly priceless. nothing good in life comes easy! The one school i have been seriously considering is an accredited school (PTDI). Which offers an 8 week program with a certificate and job placement. I will be dilligently saving up for the next several months and cant wait to start this new chapter of my life. As a butcher i am fortunate enough to be able to save money and cover living expenses. This website and forum have been my trucking lifeline since i decided to take this route.

Dave D thank you for your input, as i was sure this was the case, Iv been asking around and couldnt get a clear answer untill now.

I have been looking into the schooling options in my region (Queens, NY) it appears that most of the schools train on 6 speed transmissions. The two most expensive schools train on 6 and 10 sped transmissions, but theyr costs are almost double that of everywhere else. Is it necessary for me to be trained on a 10 speed to gain employment post graduation?
