160 hr CDL schools how many hrs a day do you spend in a truck

At the school I went to it was 40 hours in class. The next 3 weeks were 8 hour days split between 3 students. So I got about 40 hours or so in the drivers seat.

 

You can do without the crude asking a simple question.

 

I don’t know if there’s a standard for time behind the wheel in a 160 hr program. Its been some years ago but I would guess that I got about 35-40 hours total, on the road plus on the range. Some students who were struggling got more range time, so it depends.

 

Why can't you spell "for"? You obviously have spell checker... why not just make that extra "effort" and press the letter R? Sorry.. just a pet peeve.

 

$300 for more opportunities to pass??? this sounds like the school benefits by not teaching you.

I don't have much experience with schools other than place I took my refresher. I wasn't worried about passing the tests.... but before I put up money, I had a commitment from school, that if they refresh me on everything, they will guarantee me a pass.... Not a wink wink pass, I mean.... but they teach me til I get it right and teach me the current updated Correct way, and that I pass....I didn't want to give money to a school and not be refreshed up to current regs.... In the end, the only real thing that had changed was logging and a bit more indepth pre trip....

 

Look around for a school with an empty class in the schedule, it does happen, esp around holidays. Mine held one just for me, answer was "all the hours".
