I LIVE IN ARLINGTON,TX AND AM LOOKING FOR A GOOD TRAINING SCHOOL CRE IS DOWN THE ROAD BUT I SEE SO MUCH NEGITIVE STUFF ON IT.....DOES ANY NO OF ANY OTHER SCHOOL IN TEXAS OR FOR THAT MATTER, A GOOD SCHOOL PERIOD........PLEASE HELP

 

Start by calling your community colleges and Vo-Tech schools. They aren't influenced by the "bottom line" as are private trucking schools. In most cases you'll get twice the training for half the cost. Most private schools are overpriced sales gimmicks. The two biggest smoke and mirror displays are when a school tries to sell you on being PTDI certified or job placement. Neither of which is worth much, but they really try to sell it. Another waste are the ones that charge you for a weeks time of classroom so you can get your permit. CC's and Vo-Techs give the biggest bang for your buck.

 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH....

 

how far are you willing / able to travel?

 

Really! Look at CDL Class in .. Laredo Texas' if thats not a Problem'
Sweet Little City' Laredo Community College' Roco' 8)
You go' Laredo Texas Roco From Tacoma Wash

 

What about A.C.T in Alamo Tx?

 

How about talk to a few trucking companies to see if any of the training schools mentioned are even able to meet the standards for employment? How about seeing if a trucking company CAN hire you before getting ripped off?

 

Have you tried ATDS in Elm Mott, Tx? It's about 10 miles north of Waco, right off 35. I'm not saying it's the best but I liked the instructors and I thought they did a good job. I went through the school and I found a job driving local where I live south of Ft Worth.

enter your state and what job you are investigating [truck driver cdl or heavy] and see what is available. It works for texas, oklahoma and tennessee but not every state. Hope this benefits someone.

 

I agree with the commiunity and junior collage, In the houston area there are 2 that offer this training and it sound like good training. I went to though a trucking school and was very disapointed on what was taught. They taught just enough to pass your driving test and that was it.
