    To play "devil's advocate"
    I can see that there are a small number of people in the USA who have grown up around trucks and "trailering" for most of their life. Perhaps on a farm/ranch or in a family business. These guys have more proficiency skills then most "2 year local P&D veterans". This ad seems to be from somewhere in eastern Missouri (Not St. Louis) so it's not like they're surround by "city mice".

    And let's be honest, todays trucks are not that complicated to "master" a decent pre-trip inspection exam. We're not talking about Airbus A380's here.

    I'll agree. My father owned his own trucks since before I was born. By 10 I was moving them around the yard and helping with repairs. When I first jumped in the truck at driving school at 22 I never mentioned any of this to the instructor. I let him give his instructions on how to shift then watched his jaw drop when I hit nearly every up/downshift first time behind the wheel. First thing he said was "you've clearly done this before!"

    I've always said driving is one of those things some people just "get", others "get" it in time with close mentorship. Others just don't and never will "get" it.

    Anymore all you really need is a pulse to obtain a cdl and a pulse along with getting thru the insurance to drive for a carrier.this ad here tells me they'll pass anybody the 3% that don't pass are the ones that hit something is what I got from this scam ad.

    Those 1 day CDL courses are booked up with railroad workers,agricultural workers, dump truck drivers, 1 ton dually drivers licensed over 26,000 ect. Lots of other jobs require a license with air brakes.
    My neighbor a railroad worker was on a 2 month waiting list to test at one of those places (it was almost exclusively booked with railroad workers) because they get a dollar an hour raise and the railroad pays for the testing.
    Not sure anyone would be able to take that course then hire on with a company and hit the road.
