You don't have to commit to any company. What makes you think that? If you go to a company sponsored program you go to school for your CDL, participate in their training program, and then go to work. The only comittment you have is to pay them for the schooling. The longer you stay the more you receive back in tuition reimbursement. If you stay long enough, each is different, the CDL could actually be free. If you leave before the tuition reimbursement covers the CDL cost you simply pay the remaining balance and move on. But, there is no comittment that says you must work for them for a set period of time.

 

Johnston community college here in NC has a cdl school for 8 weeks and cost 650.00 because it funded by the state.
of course the 4650. is for residents of NC out of state residents paid about $2800.
I'm hoping to start class in April then go job hunting

 

CDL schooling is getting more expensive everywhere you go. I think it's because there is no other career where a typical, non-college educated person can earn 50k per year. I'll start a thread on that subject.

 

You hit the nail right on the head there. Jobs for regular joes that pay a living wage are drying up, or should I say - GONE!!!

I'm waiting for the day when trucking companies aren't always hiring. That will be a scary day.
