I'm not familiar with that school. Are you paying out of pocket for it? we highly recommend Paid CDL Training Programs because they'll put you through school on their dime and guarantee you a job upon completion of school and obtaining your CDL. With a private school they'll gladly take your money and won't tell you your DUI or speeding tickets and criminal background will prevent anyone from hiring you. When I say You it's a broad term, I'm not implying you personally have any of those . Atleast with paid training they do all the checks prior to accepting you into their program.

There are other programs not mentioned but this is a majority of them that we're aware of. Just a heads up Celadon is no longer around. Long story short the companies put you through school for a free or a real small amount of money in exchange you sign a contract to work for them for a set amount of time typically a year. Some will provide lodging, transportation, food and pay during schooling others won't. Read through that first link and feel free to ask about any specific company you'd like more info on.
