Default Wisconsin Trucking Schools?

Hello everyone,
My query is in regards to school located within Wisconsin -southeast area perticulary. I am wondering if any one has any feedback regarding the pro's and con's of schools in this area and any first hand knowledge of the training programs as well as any other issues they may of had with a company or program.

I am located in the southeastern corner of Wisconsin, as far as funding goes.. I have two options.. workin where I am and saving what I need for schooling or signin up for a training program that you pay back after you complete it by 1. cash payments 2. time served as well as cash payments. (contract stating you will work so long for them ).
Any other comments are welcomed .. the more I know the better of a choice I can make .. and hopefully it will be not only the better choice but the right one as well .

Thank you for your imput.

Default Roehl in Marshfield

Checkout their site. And there is a refund policy that is prorated if you can't finish the school.

www.goroehl.com

I am strongly considering going there soon. I got accepted today!

While it's kind of out of your area, I'd like to recommend you avoid Diesel Driving School in Sun Prairie, WI. It is nothing more than a CDL mill.

FWIW, I just finished week 2 at RDTC and expect to graduate this coming week, Insh'Allah. So far the training has been very good, with plenty of on-the-road driving and lots of range-time for polishing skills. Our instructors have been great, with a good sense of humor. I would definitely recommend RDTC Marshfield WI to anyone looking for a school.

I did it! CDL was issued this morning, ink still fresh on the plastic. Our entire class passed, 9 out of 9, but I was sweating it the last couple of days after failing the pre-test three different ways.

Out with my Evo 1 trainer next Wednesday.
