CDL Schools in Syracuse NY

Welcome Scott57

my ex went to PDI here in Rochester in the fall of '09 cost of $5000 for several wks training to basically pass his CDL which he did on the 2nd try. I have heard of NTTS in Syracuse but have no idea if it's any good. I would google local schools and go to them and talk to people there. From what I have read on here most schools cost about 5K seems to be the 'going' rate.

Good luck.

 

NTTS is an accredited School. Im not sure how much they charge but Im sure its top dollar. I went their in 1994 and it was $4700 for a 10 week corse back then. I think they did a good job for 10 weeks but its still only the basics to get you your CDL. Are you sure Fed Ex will put you in a class a truck just out of school? Im pretty sure they dont hire new bees off the street. Maby because you already work their they will work with you but be sure before you spend thousands.

ntts in liverpool is 7-8,000 dollars depending on which program you want to get in to.oswego county boces has a cdl a program and its 4700. im calling the mohawk valley community program that nashville driver gave you a link for, today and will let you know how much it is. I do know its a sage school of trucking. I'm an electrician whos looking to get his cdl and have been researching for a little while now. rochester has a decent school too but prob to far of a drive every day. the sage school has the one in rome and another in vestal.

 

would it be worth you while ( if the price for the school in Rochester was a 'great' deal and I have no idea) to stay in Rochester for the time being? I know you probably could research cost of low budget hotel on line or calling around (can't think of any off hand at the moment...) but say the difference was like $3K difference in cost???

Just a thought since Syracuse and Rochester are about 1 1/2 hrs apart.....
