Watkins Shepard, Here I Come

It doesn't sound like you were given the proper training to pass the test. I realize that a CDL school can't guarantee that everybody will graduate, but a couple hours of practice before being required to test isn't what I would call "training."

I hope you go back and document exactly what you did with your training time. Then talk to the school about how you weren't given adequate training and they need to give you more practice time. If that doesn't work, start researching California's consumer protection agencies. It looks like you have an internet connection and time to kill, so you should be able to find someone who can help you.

Don't just give up on this. If you paid for training you need to get what you paid for.

 

Just to be clear, I wasn't saying she didn't have the experience she did, I was agreeing with D1 in that I had the same experience he did at the school.
I wonder what has happened there to have things change so drastically. Sounds like she needs to talk to the person who signed her up and let them know that they did not have adequate practice before they were made to take the test. I know I would not be happy if I didn't have good time to practice then failed the test.

 

Dont give up Pm me and I will pay for retest and pay for hotel as a gift. I feel that I owe you at least that for your posting on here. I have a gift card I need to use up by next week and its only good for hotels so pm me as soon as you can and let me know were to book a room for you. I from Michigan and when you pass and get a job and if we run in to each other I'll make you by dinner. Please dont give up on your self you gone this far and if you look in the distane you will see the finish line now get up and finsh the race.

 

Glad to see you come to school today. Stick with it, I think you'll be alright now that there is another instructor there. And thanks for the scenic route today to lunch lol.

I think I'm ready to pass through the pretrip now. The day went well except having a guy release both of the parking brakes with the clutch in during the parking brake test. Had to reach up from the bunk and pull them as we started rolling towards the river. He panicked and just froze when it started rolling.

Hopefully get to meet you tomorrow Joe.

 

Trilleth, I very happy to see your sticking with it. You will succeed and YOU WILL get your CDL. We are all pulling for you here and you know you can come talk to us anytime you need. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!

 

Trill, can you by any chance just post a first name of the instructor who wasnt helping? I am curious as to who you had, I had Don, and I know warp had Wayne, both were very thorough, maybe things have gotten tougher down there, I think I will stop by after making my rounds monday and see if I can get a feel for things. Honestly I wish I knew what it would take to teach, I know im pretty good at helping others with learning all that I went through.
