Avoid IITR Truck School in Clackamas Oregon

Lets look at the complaints:

Give you the answers to the test day one. You can go to the DMV and get the answers to the tests and if you read the book you have the answers to the test day one.

Show you how to back up and then let you practice for a week. The more you practice the better the understanding you get. Would you prefer one day of backing and no more? Lots of practice is good.

You admit you think they are uneducated 5th grade people. You think most of the people in your class are idiots. Do you think your attitude might have set the stage for how you get treated?

If you can't take criticism from trainers you are going to be on the ground crying your eyes out when you interact with a forklift driver having a bad day.

I lean in thinking this is more about Elite than it is about IITR.

Reality check:
I am going with Occam's Razor on this one.

 

Just take everything in. You can learn from uneducated people as well as educated people. Your going to need all the practice and knowledge to prepare your self for the day you go solo

 

I would rather learn from someone with experience than someone teaching out of a book. I'm sure those stupid stories had a meaning behind them so you will be able to relate to them when it happens to you.

 

Boy have you got a lot to learn, just for starters all a truck driving school does is teach you how to get your CDL, don't expect much more.
Of all the companies that are recruiting drivers out of school, well just decide what color truck you want to drive and don't buy the recruiters BS, pretty much all the same.
Some are a little better than others of course but most drivers move on as soon as possible to greener pastures from the starter companies.
For the record I have driven for both Schneider and May.
As for getting what you paid for at IITR,if you got your CDL then you got what you paid for.

 

Maybe UPS and FedEx drivers are nice and intelligent, but they're some of the worst drivers on the highways. They crash and burn on a regular basis, year round and especially during the winter months.
Once you're on the road, you will learn quickly to avoid those trucks and just back off and let them go; if you don't they will go anyway.

 

Especially FedEx!...when you don't exactly want it there overnight.

 

If you want a good company in Oregon, look at Leavitt's Freight Service. This company hires new CDL grads.

 

Wannabe.... I hope you do a little gear grinding, especially while learning. Why would that be a big deal? Why would they care if you double clutch? Most drivers I know over 90% dont use the clutch anyway. They showed you how to back up. You will only get better by doing it over and over. And you still wont be good for a long time. Sounds like you may need to choose a different career, if you cry like this over a little ribbing. I hope I get to read your post after you get ripped apart, when you drive to slow down a hill, or dont move over, and cause trucks to pass on the right. IT happens. You get personal by calling names and saying they only have a 5th grade education. You will never make it.
You wont say who you are? your afraid of retaliation? What could they do? And you want to be a truck driver?
