cdl class in the springs

[cofi]

i am looking for a good cheap cdl class in the springs area

when i look online a lot of em look like scams

can you guys reccomend a good local one and does anyone know around what ill pay for a class B

I would think that the DMV in the springs would have credited classes and schools posted somewhere on their bulletin boards,or even on their website.
Why just a class B? If your gonna get one might as well get a class A.Never know what kind of opportunities might arise..

US truck driving school suppose to have one in Colorado Springs. When I did mine there in Wheat Ridge I paid $600 for a 10 hour course including test for a Class B. You can do the test on their truck for a tad bit less but you don't get to practice run the maneuvers or street driving. I also would recommend getting your Class A the first time. I made that mistake getting a B, then getting an A a year later.

Just curious what are you getting it for?

I didn't go to any class. Got my permit on a monday, rented a truck and trailer and had a class A by Wednesday. Like others said, go for the A. More opportunities.

Definitely no class needed for a B, pre trip is the only thing you really gotta learn. My employer paid for my B test at US truck driving school south of the springs, I think it was around 150.

As a class A holder, why go thru almost all the same stuff, and be handicapped with just a B? With an A, you do all the B/C stuff, and can pull combination as well. Lot more opportunities with class A IMO. Each state used to have their own twist on the cdl tests, especially the driving part, though I heard in 2007 they were pushing to standardize things. That being said, I don't know how hard the tests are here, vs say Louisiana. That state has the distinction of being about the hardest to take a test in.

I agree with everyone saying to get your class A liscense. I was lucky, when I got my class B the company I worked for trained me and another driver there was qualified to give me the test. At the next company I worked for, they also trained me for my class A liscense and I contacted that same driver to give me the test. That was many years ago and I don't know how to find him now. Definately get a class A liscense though.

I was thinking it would be cheaper and easier to just get my class b for now....I have a guaranteed job if I can get the license all local driving and decent pay.... I don't really wanna drive a big semi with a trailer OTR or anything like that

Go for the "A" , then you can move up or move on if the job doesn't work out.
A "B" vehicle pulling a equipment trailer with a heavy enough piece of equipment on could bump you into "A" class, not fun if you hit a DOT porta-scale with a "B" license in your wallet. The DOT are sneaking them around locally in the outer Metro area.
