Cdl Training Private School

The question has pretty much been answered by the wonderful gentlemen above me but I'll add my tip.

It doesn't matter if there's no schools close by, companies will pay for your transportation and your lodging to their facility where they'll train you in exchange for you working for them for X amount of time (usually a year).

Pay them by the hour? Well, multiply what they're charging you per hour by 140 hours then add the 1100$ upfront pay for your total cost.

Like previously stated, you need that 140 hour certificate!

Private schools are for people who can afford it. Otherwise it's Company Sponsored schooling for you.

Thanks for that info I was so lost...will find out about the 140 hours if the don't offer it then I will just do what the $1100 cover an try to get into a company sponsored program

Aldaine, here is the kicker. Very few, if any, major trucking operations will hire you unless you have a training certificate showing that you have received 160 hours of training. That certificate is just as, and maybe more, important than the CDL when you are a rookie trying to obtain employment. There are some trucking schools taking people's money and not giving them what they really need when it comes to getting a job. Just having a CDL will not open too many doors for you, but having that CDL and that 160 hour certificate is like having the keys to the kingdom.

Before you spend any more hard earned money at this school, you need to ask some very specific questions about that training certificate, and do not fork out any more money if they can't provide you with a legitimate training certificate stating that you have had 160 hours of training. Most common truck driving courses are four weeks at forty hours per

thanks for the info.... think I will. Just try a company sponsored program....
