Ok, don't want this to become a debate over CDL mills or how soon you can get a job or anything like that.

Just from the standpoint of how well you will learn the basics what do you guys think about how often a class meets a week and how long those classes are.

What's prompting this question is that the school we are going to be attending is talking about changing their classes from 8 hours a day for 5 days a week for 7 weeks to 10 hours a day for 4 days a week for 7 weeks.

Not enough info.
Will curriculum be beefed up to fill the time?
Actually, the training day should be close to what actual working hours are, like 10 hours a day, for 6 days a week for 7 weeks. BOL

They all have the same number of total hours.

Are you talking about in-truck time, in-class time, or a combination of both?

There is no other differences. The number of classroom hours, and driving hours are the same. The only differences are how long the class days are, how many days a week they are and for how many weeks they are.
