Knight Transportation Cdl School Question.

Hello. Im in the process of attending cdl school for knight in arizona. Anybody that has done it recently that could share how it was? Will they provide hotel and transportation and then add it to my loan if i asked them to? Or does anyone knows a cheap hotel close to the training school?

Welcome to the Trucking Truth site, Vandie!

When are you scheduled to begin?

I just finished CDL School with Knight in Ohio. Of course it was actually at Swift Academy. But they’re the same thing. Well, kinda. The way it worked for me in Ohio was this. They offered a Greyhound ride to school. I wasn’t going to be on a bus for 17 hours so I drove myself. I did get reimbursed for my gas though. While in Ohio they did provide rides to and from the hotel and school. I believe the cost for the hotel was $750 for the month and that will be paid back to them in $22 deductions from your check weekly. I’m pretty sure it’s the same at all their CDL Schools.

My recruiter didnt mention any of that. He just told me that i need to get there and pay for hotel on my own. He could get me one nearby for $1200 a month out of my pocket. I need to ask him about what you just told me to see if they can do it.

Bob are you with Swift? Even-though, Knight and Swift are co-owned, they have their own autonomy. Knight does CDL school in Phx.

At least, that was my impression . I'm have been looking at both Knight and Swift.

I went to the Swift school in Waco ga. We had several Knight folks in class with us
