So I graduated CDL school back in April but failed pretrip twice for the state test. I have 2 more opportunities with the school I went to but they can't exactly help me out with pretrip because they lack the instructors that can ditch the class for a couple of minutes to help out. How dumb would it be of me to just say screw it and go with a company school? I know the testers for them wont go easier on me than the testers I got months ago. That's absurd to think that. I don't know what to do. My problem is solely pretrip. I can drive pretty well for a newbie but pretrip I struggle when being graded. Any ideas? I have no kids but a wife and she doesn't want me to do it but it's something I want to do so I'm doing it. Swift is 1 year and I'm only thinking of them because they're about 40 miles away from my house.
CDL school graduate but no cdl

I'd look at FFE (Frozen Food Express) in Lancaster. They have a good cdl school and about the same obligation as Swift.

paccarmike and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -
How hard is the pre trip portion of the test... it's the easiest part... you point out parts and call them by name and say what you would be expecting it for... if bent broken leaking ect ect... I'm sure there are tons of videos on u tube that will guide you threw it....
If your unable to pass a cdl test... you didnt realy graduate...
And how do you know the driving portion you got down? You have to pass the pretrip portion to move onto the other portions. If you never passed the pretrip you never taken the backing maneuvers and driving portions yet...
And April? 6 months ago you finished school..
I'm just saying it doesn't sound like your motivated what so ever. I'd look into something your actually interested in doing...
If you even 50% interested in driving with a cdl you of had it 6 months ago.Last edited: Oct 30, 2019

The pretrip isn't that bad. Hell I told the guy that I would check to make sure the headlights weren't bent. He laughed his ### off and said hed never seen a bent headlight but its a good thing to look for. He could tell I was nervous and was just trying to lighten the mood. I mentioned the belts and hoses 4 times, he said "Dude, we got the belts and hoses" I was like ok good.
Just relax man, it's a truck not a dead body.
That being said I was wondering what kind of CDL school would have you graduate without getting your CDL. The fact is you did not graduate. You must pass all 3 sections before you can get your CDL and you didn't so you're someone who took a CDL school and failed the pretrip. You're not a graduate. No more than a college student who keeps failing ECON 201. You're not a college grad until you complete all required coursework.Last edited: Oct 31, 2019
