Although now that I have stated it's a college course, is it still preferable to go through a company?

Yes...we believe it is.

This blog article can shed some light on the discussion: Why I Prefer Company Sponsored Training

Although there are many reasons in support of the Paid CDL Training Programs, perhaps the best reason in your case is they will pre-qualify you as a candidate, and will consider your driving record (MVR) as part of their decision. Choosing the route of Community College may not produce the result you want because they will allow you to attend without thoroughly vetting your driving record, thus potentially leaving you without a job even though you'll have a CDL.

Why the preference of community college? Realizing regardless of where you go to school, you will only learn just enough to pass the CDL tests.

Thank you. My school definitely did not give me any information like this. College was my preference because the FAFSA pays for my schooling. I was unaware the company would pay you to train.

I am enrolled in my local community college currently as a medical student but I'm transferring to the CDL career path. My school is accredited and I don't think I have to worry about that necessarily, but i do believe I was going 10-15 over the speed limit (I know that's a drastic difference but I can't remember). I took a driving class and I believe no points were added to my license. I wasn't sure if the ticket itself would affect me or if it would be the points. The wreck was me going faster than the car in front of me when a light turned green, minor damage to his car but my engine pretty much fell out. The wreck was reported.

(Without getting into details too much) Last summer I went on vacation and did not realize I forgot to pay my insurance before I left; long story short I have two insurance tickets from that and a small speeding ticket from a few months earlier. I also have a wreck that was my fault from about 2 years ago. I do not have my cdl YET, but I am beginning my classes next semester. With this record, should I worry?
