I tried searching the site but there's too many schools to go through. I'm trying to find the best cdl school anywhere for under $1500 but preferably less. That would have to be the price for out-of-state tuition too. The ones ive heard of so far are in lincoln, nebraska. and southern florida. Any other good ones anywhere? Thanks

Many companies are doing student loans for new students and then offering tuition reimbursement when you're driving for them. Your out of pocket expense up front is usually limited to an administrative fee and personal expenses during training.

The reason I was looking at community colleges was so I didn't have to commit to a company after school. But if I understand I would still need training after I get my cdl at a school? I'm just trying to find the best way to go without committing and without a lot of money

First, it would have helped if you had given us an idea of where you want to go to school or where you are currently located. Do you want to update your profile to at least identify the state?
. Lacking specific location information, try the following website: www.Careeronestop.Org/Wiaprovidersearch.asp This will allow you to look up Workforce Investment Act (WIA) training providers. This is a pretty good starting place. Another source of information is www.Refrigeratedtrans.com This is a magazine website that has several pdf files that you can download with some very interesting information on training programs divided up by states. . If you are willing to relocate, states like Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas and Oklahoma have inexpensive courses.

Davidson Community College just opened up next to our terminal in Lexington, NC and their class is $475 for a 4+ week class :
$475 for 4 weeks?? How on earth can they afford that? With fuel at $2.50 per gallon and the way i drive, i would use MORE than that just in fuel in 4 weeks!! heeee. They get funding from gov or something ey? |
