How much training do they require for an experienced driver that needs flashed training?

So this is my last day in CDL training school. I've been doing great and I fully expect to pass my test...I am, however, very disappointed with McElroy. 2 weeks ago I got a call, about a day or 2 after I did the app online, from someone named Cindy. She was very dry on the phone and seemed like she was in a rush and was just talking to me because it was protocol to call every applicant back or something. She went over my info on the app with me and then told me that she is going to forward my info to processing and I should be getting a phone call. My response was Great, and when should I expect to receive that phone call? She said whenever they finish processing my app. she was too cut and dry. So guess what?? Over 2 weeks later and...no phone call!...So a recruiter shows up in my school this morning and starts talking up Mcelroy, which I gotta admit has a good deal. So I ask the question if Cindy says to expect a phone call and I never received it, what does that mean. He tells me, and I really appreciated his answer, it possible that they pulled your DOT long form and saw that you were overweight and not tall enough so they couldn't hire you. He said that its mostly because of their insurance. So I says ok I get that but don't you think that it was unprofessional of Cindy not to call me back to say that my app wasn't accepted? He said yes but maybe she didn't want to deal with the confrontation....I'm upset because of the lack of professionalism, not at the fact that I was denied employment for being overweight. And if Cindy can't take it from somebody than they should put somebody in that position who can!![/QUOT

Even though most companies should on the weight limit some shippers require you to wear a harness when tarping and those are only rated to 350
