Tri-State Trucking School Springfield,MA

I don't know about this school. But a lot of schools are scammers, IMHO.

you need to evaluate the school just like you would job choices. The fact your are getting assistance paying for the school, treat it as if it is money from your pocket, because it is.

Thus far I rejected a school with a salesman promising me much. You need to look at how many trucks they have, how many students they have, and if they really have any knowledge in teaching. It is one thing to know how to do something but it is different when you have to teach it.

I am humbly waiting to get everything sorted out with paperwork, and plan to travel out of state to go to school. Where I live, wia funds are non existent, too many people applying.

 

NETTS is a decent scool up there.

Report your school !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i do not know of this school, but from thier website, they are at least DMV and state certified. now i do know for a fact, that mass is NOT the only state that makes students do parallel parking. i also know for a fact, the first time pass rates at the mass DMV are not always possible. the troopers do not give an inch, as they go by the book. i do not know what facility that school uses for DMV testing. one school i worked at, the pass rate for mass students was terrible. many times, there would be students on thier 3 or 10th time being tested. some students DO NOT PRACTICE, or even show up to school and yet they expect to pass.......???

if the owners wife is a CDL licensed driver, and state certified to teach, then SHE CAN do so.........

now, NO school can guarantee a student will pass the DMV testing, nor can any school guarantee a student will get a job when he/she graduates...

its ALL UP TO the student to apply himself to pass the tests. then seek employment, along with the job placement person.

 

the owner is WRONG.....i deal with teaching and the CDL testing.....MA, RI and CT do all the yard skills.

then she is not allowed to teach, not even sit in the truck while a student is driving. a LICENSED CDL person MUST BE in the seat next to the student.

the students that apply themselves, pass, your hubby should do fine then. yeah, DO NOT talk jobs just yet......

oh and by thew way you asked how long should a school be in time....??

i have seen some 2 weeks, to 20 weeks.........so it will vary on the hours each day, as well as how many days a week they go. but on average, 4 weeks is the "low end" of training time.........if they are going into the 5th week as you say, they a re also billing the state for this as well. and if not......then i can assure you, the students are getting pushed even harder. you can call and complain all you want to and to whomever you want to....if the school is state certified and DMV certified, and IT IS, they have a curriculum they are following.....nothing will be done.....

 

ok......maybe it is.....i mean after all, i am not there (nor anyone else here) to witness anything, we are going by your hubby's words to you to here.

lesson to be learned.......and that is this......your hubby STILL NEEDS to pass his DMV tests soon......what if he doesn't....??? IF and i do mean IF they have a contract with him and they do, it specifically states that his time is for so many hours, days, etc. that being said, the school in-of-itself, has met the obligations of the contract. do you realistically think the state will pay for his schooling else where's....?? now, since the SCHOOL MET the obligations of the contract, they WILL NOT be required for any further training, or even providing a truck for your hubby....please thread carefully....

do as you wish (you already did), but i think you are putting your hubby in a precarious situation with his future. remember, NO SCHOOL can guarantee a passing rate at the DMV, or a job........

good luck.......you're going to need it.
