I just graduated from a school that says that I will be recognized as having the equivalent of 2 to 3 years of safe driving experience. Is this considered by perspective employers? is it bull? can I tell an employer that when applying? will it help me get a job? and/or in the oil fields etc...?
Graduate with equivalent 2 or 3 year safe driving record? is this BS?

That is pure BS they are just blowing smoke. I instructed at one of the best CDL schools for 5 years that was PTDI certified and we made no such claims. If you want credit for 3 years safe driving it has to come from your employer after you drive for 3 years and get the award.
I just notice you are in Canada, might be different, but I doubt it. Then again maybe you are not from Canada.seamusnfalls Thanks this. -
What matters is whether insurance companies recognize it.
seamusnfalls and Prairie Boy Thank this. -
yes that is what im hoping. I hope that their training is recognized by most insurance corp. not just one or a couple....

BS is this .tell an employer and they will laugh you right out the door, I know I would. It's already been said, safe driving comes from experience on the road.
Macneil and seamusnfalls Thank this. -
Screw TTC,
If it's anything like the joke of a place in North Bay where I did my training prepare to enter the trucking world and have to teach yourself everything basically.seamusnfalls Thanks this. -
Yeah, there was a "training" school out of Cranbrook, that offered "mountain certification" after one trip up the Creston- Salmo and back. If ever there needed to be an apprenticeship trade truck driving is it. I know that if somebody told me that they had 3 years of experience, but only had the certificate for a couple of months ('cause you need to see an abstract to comply with NSC and even if you didn't you should ), I would show them the door.
maybe one certain company sees this schools training as the equivalent. but mostly that sounds like BS.seamusnfalls Thanks this. -
dont doubt it
