Community College CDL Training

Pro's and Con's

Getting your training for Commercial Driver's License at a community college is usually a good deal. Now many community colleges that offer CDL course has a full time curriculum.

However, something else has changed....the cost. While most community colleges are still on average lower than other options, they are much higher when I got a CDL.

Make sure you do comparisons between community colleges and truck driving schools your considering for cost, hours of class room study and time spent behind the wheel. Also find out if the time they are quoting in is the time shared with others in the truck or your time behind the wheel.

You can simply call your local community colleges to see if they offer training and if so get an itemized description of what the course includes.

Advantages of Training At a Community College

public school for other funds

Disadvantages of CDL Training at a Community College
