    or should I say Stevens vs. Werner?

    Or $4200 cash vs $4995 cash?

    I am wanting to get my CDL in Tampa and am looking for positive, neutral or negative feedback on the two school.

    Thanks in advance

    I went to road master in Tampa, I did full time 5/12hr days in three weeks. I paid cash $4995 had an excellent coach and learned a lot. Then went to Stevens to start.....long story.. but stayed with them through thick and thin, got my experience and now drive for Sunco out of Lakeland. I went to Roadmaster in 2014 so don't know how they are now. I believe Werner now owns Roadmaster. Whatever company you go with just stick with them for at least 6months to a year keep the truck upright and don't kill anybody then go to higher paying companies. Good luck!!! JUST GET THROUGH TRAINING!!!!

    When i read posts like this it really encourages me to go set up my own school for drivers i wouldn't charge those ridiculous fees either or take 5 weeks to train a driver. When i got my CDL it took only 3 lessons. or about 3 hours. beat that.Now i realize not everyone's a quick learner like me however i'm still amazed how many people choose to pay ridiculous high school fees. I'd take the other option and go learn via a company although your stuck with a contract but at least you don't have those massive fees to cope with or worse paying the $5000 then not getting a job afterwards.
