Footage from 1996 when I was getting my CDL. Got schooled twice; the first outfit was crap (NETTTS), and I went to work for alocal company and trained while I worked for them.

  • NETTTS wasn't bad. It was a little pricey, but they deliver what they promise...if you do your share as well, like show up for instance.

  • NETTTS taught you how to pass a CDL test and very little else.

  • I went in 04 so maybe they cleaned their act up a little bit since you went. Some of the staff was less than helpful and mostly comprised of truckers who had failed in their careers for varios reasons. I am certainly not the happiest guy on the planet being a trucker, but it pays the bills...if you are lucky enough to get with the right company. Even though they all suck, some are good as far as pay goes. They still run you like a dog and offer no appreciation. That is every where you go!

  • Cleaning things up is a very strong possibility. I'm actually very happy with my career decision, being with the same company for 11 years. Safe truckin', driver!

  • I got to NETTTS now in Somers, Ct. I am actually very happy with them. The Ma. instructor is a real hard ass, but the Ma. test is one of the most difficult in the country. provided you show up, and put in the effort, its a great place to go. If you just want something to kill time, or hang on to your unemployment, your not going to get anything out of it. granted in 96 i was 12. so im sure they have changed some things.

  • i like that ford cl 9000

  • Agreed! That is exactly what they promised. First day opening statement. "You will not leave here knowing how to drive a truck. You are going to leave here with a license to drive a truck." Which is exactly what happend. I made the money I spent on that school back within my first six months working for a local freight company. Compared to where I was working. Made over 55K my first year and I have been with the same company ever since. Oh ya, NETTTS got me that job by the way!

  • this was more of a tongue in cheek response to this video. i'm a bit of a smartass...

    i probably would have had a hard time getting my cdl if it was as difficult then as it is today.

  • Depends on the state you live in. MA is one of the hardest states to get a CDL in due to the rediculous testing manuevers. One thing I notice about truckers from the south are that they can drive forward just fine, but not so much in any other direction.

  • Was is different then our Schools in Europe..

    I love ot see this old cab overs..

    Please show me more..Andy
