I went this morning and got all of my paper work for filling out for aid help for school and paper work for the WIA program as well. I'am going threw a local small college they are SOS certified and offer 160 hours of trianning after your 6 weeks of class/field trainning. I felt nervous just walking into the school for some reason. Last time I was in a school was my last day in high school back in 99. Hopefully I can get theses grants since I'am unemployed at the momoment and the advisors said I would should be able to get it all paid for which I think is great, I chose this school because its local well 25 minute drive from my house and also I won't have to sign a contract with the college as well. Its time to start reading threw this cdl training program on this site.

Welcome Nick! Like you I went to a private school. Best decision I ever made. The second best decision I ever made was to use the High Road Training Program on this site. When I finally got into class I was one hundred times more prepared then anyone else in class. You'll do great! Keep us posted on how things go!

Good luck
