    Recently got my CLP, and interested in paid cdl training. I've done my fair share of research and want to see other opinions. I am based out of Naples, FL. If I have to, I can be based out of Charlotte, NC.

    There is usually only one or two options for CDL school unless you live in a metro area. There are also Community Colleges and Technical/Trade schools which are much, much cheaper but can have very long wait-lists to start. IMO, you are better off deciding which company to work for before looking at where to go to CDL school. Some companies only hire from certain schools or from schools that provide at least X number of hours of instruction. Some companies have their own school. You don't want to go to a school that the company you want to work for doesn't recognize. CDL school is only about passing the state test. Your first employer will show you what the CDL school doesn't cover.

    Suncoast was the only one I was interested in my area, unfortunately they are full until mid August. I also didn't qualify for the WIOA Grant. Any recommended companies that offer the training in FL? or Charlotte, NC?

    At the moment my only option will probably to train directly with a carrier, than to go to school for finanical and waiting reasons.
