However, thank you. I do believe I am making.mire out of this than it is. The interviewer seemed to get a kick out of how worried I was about it. That I was.making more out of it than it was. She didnt seem to worried about what I had against me. So, Im probably worrying myself over nothing. I have a tendency to do so.

I think my current carrier is just as bad. It amazes me to walk through a truck stop and look at all the tractors damaged on the right (passenger) side! CB antennas broken off, and fairings busted or missing. I see a lot of trucks with slick tires or tires with the tread separating. Lights out and missing mud flaps. Were supposed to be professionals but I can't see it. Don't get me started on the real difference between a professional driver and a steering wheel holder!

Wow! 3 weeks? Seriously? I went to a technology center here in Tennessee. Cost me $1200.00 and took me 2 1/2 months!
By the time we were done we'd been up and down Mt eagle mountain quite a few times. I could back a figure 8. That beat backing into our heads. By the time I graduated I could alley and offset back both ways, parrallel like a pro, and had no problem with road test. I think the only thing I missed even a lil on cdl test was a couple things on pretrip inspection. We were backing in figure 8's for ##### and giggles just to see who could do it.. lolLast edited by a moderator: Jan 26, 2014

chemsoldier1drives for USA Truck. The problem is NOT the schools. I and most of the people that post in here have went through the schools. The problem for the most part is also not the trainers either. The main problem is simply there are a huge amount of people that have NO business behind the wheel of a tractor trailer rig. I see this almost everyday. With the economy as it is people are drawn to trucking by all the truck driving ads thinking it's easy money. Trucking is NOT easy never has been and never will be. I too have seen wrecks parked at the terminals. Want a good example of what I mean. Take a look at this! This guy had NO business behind the wheel of a CMV, NONE PERIOD! An innocent person paid the ultimate price for this. That piece don't say it, but that driver was drunk and had a history of alcohol abuse. I heard that right from the mouth of the director of safety at USA Truck during my upgrade class in January 2011.

Ours was a state school. Heck, some of the guys that went, went under a instructional grant. Didn't have to pay a dime. We had great instructors. Two old vets that taught us everything. Everything from logging to driving. We each had around 80 hours logged on the road by the time we finished. It was a great class. I think we had like 50 days of schooling. Tennessee Technology Center.
