Thank you Professional Driver Services for your help with that correction! We would hate to see students steered in the wrong direction!

FROM PDS:

Whoa! Thanks for the shout out and the air time. However, PDS is strictly for employers for the benefit of their employees, so we unfortunately won't be of any help to the displaced NMU students.

We think you meant to talk about CDL and Operator Training! They are located in Spalding, offer in-person training for all and will definitely be a great resource for these students. They even offer evening and weekend programs that are designed for high schoolers, working individuals, and even students going to college.

We are sure it was an honest mistake. But we do appreciate the air time! And if students are looking for more information and if they give us a call, we can definitely point them in the right direction! @

For those affected by the NMU closure, Gogebic Community College in Ironwood also has a CDL program. I have provided their link below.

GCC offers training in a variety of vehicles including sleeper cabs, a day cab, logging loader rail trailer, dry van trailer and both manual and automated shifting transmissions.

We would just like to clear the air about the sad news with the NMU CDL training discontinuing. TV6 posted a news reel that Midwest is the only CDL provider in the UP without doing their research... CDL and Operator Training and Professional Driver Services has been in Spalding Mi. for 3 years and we are still open and classes are still filling up.. We offer 3 week classes and weekends and after hours to accommodate students and people with daily jobs that would make it impossible to do a three week straight class. If you have any questions we can be reached at our office at 906-723-0404 or Shauna at 906-241-4261 or Darren at 906-241-0056. Please feel free to share this post and Thank you for your continued support. 💯😎
