    At CRST my Husband said beware because the New Students have to pretty much teach themselves it's write this down on the pre-trip test and if you miss more than 2 you failed get sent home so it's up to you guy's all I know theres a lot of part's in a pretrip to remember looks like they would at least go over it with the students because if they don't know what their looking for they could reaslly get hurt or killede out there on the road.:biggrin_25516:

    That's the reason they have a book u get from the DOT to study So u know what u are looking for and I went to kirkwood and the pretrip truck sits there all the time u have time to go over it and if not there are trucks at the yard and trailers
    Most sit on the ### in the driver lounge and watch TV were they could walk 100 yards to the yard and go over it with another student or there are other drivers there that if asked would help
    Most student think that truck drivers just hold the wheel and drive when they get there they find out that they have to work And think and take response ability form themselves

    It would be nice if you people learned how to spell and write. I don't understand your points.

    I went through their program last month.You can miss more than to,you have to get 80% to pass,and,the 1st day of school they go over it all for like 4hours.And its not hard at all to pass if you put the effort into it.Im so not a crst fan,but,kirkwood isnt a bad school considering the amount of students they have to deal with from crst ######## government program.

    We only have three rules. You've been here long enough to know what they are!

    DTwife, there are 105 points. It's not hard if one sits down and applies themself and studies.

    Plain and simple. Your hubby wants to be a trucker. He already started to complain. The school is doing theirre part by providing him the tractor,the fuel,the instructor,the study material. At no cost to him. He should be studying and learning the basics.

    In my experience they pretty much bend over backwards in order to make sure you pass all the required tests. Honestly if you fail after all the coaching and additionally opportunities to guarantee you pass then you are just not cut out to be driving a truck.

    I watched them repeatedly coach those who were struggling until they finally passed.

    Trucking isn't for everyone. The pretrip isn't hard to learn. One must put forth the effort to learn. It took to me 2 days to learn my whole pretrip but I got my tail out there and went over the truck and trailer so much that I was doing it in my sleep.There are ways for him to grasp it if he's willing.I wish him luck. This is the perfect place it's full of info and we'll do what we can to help him.
