    She's been trying. I recommended she try Labatt before giving up and going to a second chance company.

    My question is how did you get a CDL license without driving a truck? Just saying or asking.

    I was at Prime CDL school for 5 weeks....they have between 10 + students that come to school every week...slc Utah where I was has less students than Springfield MO....they supposedly get maybe 80+ students every week....out of the students that get left behind like me....they have what they call..Local training...never mentioned anything about this to me....so u go with the flow...learn what u can...2 trucks...one manual..one auto...one Instructor...and two DOT Examiners...it took me 5 weeks to learn to do some driving manuevers...alley dock...straight back..etc,...beca bec they were shorthanded of Instructors i had to wait week after week and keep getting in line with all the newer students coming in weekly...some got PSD Trainers...some didnt...the ones that didn't...joined me on the pad. Got maybe 3 to 4 hours of driving off pad for a total of maybe 4 to 5 days....speak spe for myself...it was not enough time...when u have to wait in line with a dozen students to drive and learn each manuever u get maybe 40 minutes per student per manuever...I learned first on manual...but appreciated the auto...that's how I learned.

    Eagle KMC Transportation in Phoenix/Tucson might give you a chance. I think they haul for Werner. Either way, you're in with WE.
