    PHello, I was wondering anybody has any info on AAA trucking school in philly. I stopped in there and they charge 5500.00 for classes. They said its one on one. Sometimes 2 on 1 depending. I already have my permit so I'm ahead of the game. Anyways, I'm trying to find anybody that has attended this school and see how you liked it? Would you recommend it? I'd rather go to Sage in Phoenixville,pa but they don't offer night classes right now. And it's twice as far. So let's hear some reviews please! Thanks.

    I'm was wondering the exact same thing. This is almost a mirror image of my thread I made the other day lol. Is the $5500 for A or B?

    It's for the A license. I talked to the guy at AAA and told him I had my permit. Basically I'm paying him 5500.00 for truck rental :(
    A new class starts every Monday. From what I saw there is about 12 or 14 desk in there with a flat screen tv. I guess as guys come in they just work them into the class. AAA doesn't appear to be PTDI, so I just wonder if that would hit you going to a company for the firs time ? I guess I'll be the guinea pig. Because I need my Cdl-A , I have my B class now. I just wish in some ways i could get laid off so the state would pay for it. lol. I have to talk to my boss on Tuesday. But I'm hoping I'll start class in 2 weeks.

    I don't know anything about AAA, but if your looking for a cheaper school, Smith and Solomon is $2700-$3500 depending on class. They have night and weekend classes and several locations. I just started there this week. The training isn't one on one though it depends on class size. Just another place you can look into...
