If you're interested in a short program, Daly's Truck Driving School isn't very far from you on Buford Highway. I went there for school. Cost will be more than a tech school and it's a 3 week program.
I would find alot of trucking companies that would hire me if I had my cdl which is called a pre hire and then ask the trucking companies for a list of schools they hire from in my area.... That would probably be the best route to take and here's a link to help you to Understand Pre-Hires

Pre-hire:
What Exactly Is A Pre-Hire Letter?
Pre-hire letters are acceptance letters from trucking companies to students, or even potential students, to verify placement. The trucking companies are saying in writing that the student, or potential student, appears to meet the company's minimum hiring requirements and is welcome to attend their orientation at the company’s expense once he or she graduates from truck driving school and has their CDL in hand.
We have an excellent article that will help you Understand The Pre-Hire Process.
A Pre-Hire Letter Is Not A Guarantee Of Employment
The people that receive a pre-hire letter are people who meet the company's minimum hiring requirements, but it is not an employment contract. It is an invitation to orientation, and the orientation itself is a prerequisite to employment.
During the orientation you will get a physical, drug screen, and background check done. These and other qualifications must be met before someone in orientation is officially hired.
