This Looks Too Good To Be True To Me, What Do You All Think???!
Topic 2671 | Page 1
Pretty much all CDL schools give you the extreme basics. Use the training materials on this site to get a good head start. Then call trucking companies you are interested in working for if they hire students from the community college you are planning to attend. Also ask the community college what companies hire their graduates.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Yep I have all ready did that and i have five companies that would" hire "me from a the community college. The college i plan on attending, we must have a min of 250 hours of driving time before taking the state driving test. I was more interested in what people thinks about that site i posted, I find it hard to believe that they do it for "free"
They don't do it "for free"...if you read on,they ASSIST you in getting tuition reimbursement....trust me..no one does it for free.... Always read the fine print....
Financial Support
We help our students find financial support to cover tuition costs. In fact, students may qualify to have their course costs covered 100% with 160’s tuition reimbursement program
That's what they're referring to. Either grants, loans, or tuition reimbursement.

HI, I guess i could use this post as a introduction post as well as asking about. I'm in my mid 30's and ready to start driving.I plan on attending my local community college, Hopefully this year at some point. I need to improve my math and reading skills, before the state program would work on getting funding/grant for my training. I have been working on improving myself and been reading and learning about the trucking industry as well as watching many truckers video on youtube!. I have full confidence in myself that i be able to drive with the proper training and guidance.. Anyway i stumbled upon this site today(see below) and would like everyone thoughts on this site, too me it looks to good to be true, knowing the cost of training. It looks like a" in and out deal" where you gain nothing but the extreme basics just to get your class A CDL's and I do not want that, so with that said has anyone used there service and if so how was it?
