    Ohio is dumb. You have to retake your tests to get an Ohio CDL (and even a regular class D license as well) I had to when I came up from Florida. Seeing as to how you only have a permit, I dont know for sure.

    As it was put to me by Audrey at Driver Solutions: They didn't have a reason.
    Some got sent home for blood sugar or other DOT physical issues, one had warrants, some lied on apps. Some had felony's/misdemeanors they failed to mark down. Those people got kicked out-and were very aware as to WHY they got kicked out.

    As for me? Its like I said, no reason. IF I had done something wrong, then Driver Solutions would have said "thanks for playing, you owe us 6k good buddy" But it was the opposite way around, they were doing the apologizing to me. I don't owe anyone a rusted nickel.

    I am also in the process of having USA reimburse some travel and license fees to me, it only seems fair.

    My advice: If company sponsored training is what you need, go with a company that handles all of it. I mean USA has C-1 driving school, then the recruiters; Driver Solutions, then it finally gets to USA Truck. To many places for things/paper work to mixed up, messed up, jacked up, lost.:biggrin_25523:

    Wishing you luck Rolltide. My other advice is pre-trip pre-trip pre-trip
    pre-trip pre-trip learn that pre-trip!

    And its a very good idea to pass ALL of your BMV tests in one day:yes2557:
