CDL Road test wait = 3 Months (Last week of november)
A week before scheduled road test the Instructor quit the job.No instructor, No road test.
2nd week of December . i got an email from them, they gave me 3 option.
1. Wait for our CDL Program to resume training
- no estimated time frame(The proccess might take about 6 months)
2. Referral to a Company .
They may be able to assist with employment, if qualified, as well as testing.
3. A refund for the CDL Road Skills - Testing in the amount of $565 plus $50 for the cancelled CDL test for a total of $615.
I am unemployed since i took the class. what do you guys think?
option 1- by the time they have a new instructor. i'll forget how to drive and the feel to drive the tractor trailer.
option 2- the company referal, That company they were telling me to go will have 10% driving and the rest labor.
option 3- going to spend 3,000$ again to another training program?
