Thanks hawk211
post me as well when you do post the thread about your experience, thanks again. -
Rooster13 what kind of truck does Conway give you?
-
I would like to say this thread is still very accurate. I just finished boot camp. There are minor changes. The smith system is now done here at boot camp and we did not have the night drive. El Charro's was a great place to eat. Have fun! I did!
Swamprat55 Thanks this. -

No they told us when we were signing up we would learn it, but when it came closer to the end of schooling I asked "so when are we going to learn hooking up a trailer?" They told me it isn't necessary to learn to get your CDL so they do not teach it and that it is very easy to learn, so my employer should teach me their way. They basically teach straight up straight back, parallel, and driving the route. That's it. Not what I was told I was going to learn at the beginning. Also don't know how to drive a stick- even though I was told I was going to learn one. Then they say once I sign up and ask what day we learn shifting, they say "Oh yah- the manual truck is broken so you only will learn on an auto. We don't have to teach you the manual it was just an added bonus if you get the chance to do it, but if you like you can come back and learn it free of charge for a day once it is fixed." I was livid. This schools costing me around $3,800. They promised all of these things and then fell short of all of their promises. None of the other students complained though because they are from the WFC. I paid cash.
