4 weeks ago my school allowed us to test for our CDL in parts. Rather than wait until we completed all our courses, they tested us on CDL pre-trip. I passed and my CLP was stamped and signed by a state examiner. I also tested with a state examiner that day.
2 weeks ago, I tested with a state examiner for my skills test. I posted the outcome of that test so I will not go into details about that.
Today, 2 weeks later, I practiced all the two weeks until today. My chest, shoulders, arms and legs hurt so bad right now. I was ready to re-test for the skills portion of my CDL tomorrow. Upon roll call today, we were informed that no testing for CDL will happen tomorrow. In fact, all prior CDL testing is now void. We’ll have re-take all portions of the CDL again and our current CDL is now void because the state examiner stamped my CLP that I had passed the pre-trip portion of the CDL test. I’ll have to retake my CLP exam.
The school stated that they had permission from the state but the Feds told the school they aren’t allowed to test us this way. I’m now in school for 2 more weeks (given I can pass all test) and I may not be able to test for the CDL an additional month to 2 months because the school is back logged with students waiting to take their CDL test.
All total, I could spend as much as 9 months just to get my CDL. This is insane. However, my hands are tied. I’ve spent way to much money to attend this school, well over $10,000, to quit right now. I had two job offers which I was supposed to start in 2 weeks. But to go another month or 2? I’m so depressed and angry right now. To pay as much as I’ve paid to attend a school that claims to be the best school only to be set back like this is beyond words other than profanity. Did I mention that I spent $10,000 for 6 months of schooling that has now turned into 7-9 months? Again this is insane and must have sucker written all over my face right now. Mega carriers train drivers in 4-6 weeks. But me, I’ll be the driver that claims it took me 7-9 months. I’ve heard that their some students that have been in this school for a year and still do not have their CDL. Now given these students have had a difficult time passing range testing, but an entire year? I must be really stupid for making the choice to come to this school.
