Do you hire students who have failed driving school & retrain?

Are you asking if you can go to a company sponsored CDL school even if you flunked the test at a private school?

 

If you failed Truck Driving school ,then find a different career choice cause your not truck driver material

 

I don't think failing a driving school blackballs you from the industry, it's important to review why or on what part you failed, and try again. I realize, generally no refunds, something many aren't prepared for. Since you already paid, maybe go back to the school and find out more. OR, a different school , you may pass with flying colors, too bad it will cost another $5grand(?) at a new place. How badly do you want to do this? I highly doubt there will be any record of you not passing, and you got probably the rawest deal out there, paid the money and failed. Good luck.

 

One question. You didn't say exactly why you failed. Because how I see it. If it's a minor thing that more training might fix. Then maybe take a chance with a mega sponsored program

 

We had a guy in our class I took way back who was on his SIXTH try. Nice guy, drove the truck ok, but just did the stupidest random things. The school I went to only passed 48% of students historically and had been there since I think the 1950’s. on the very first day of class the head instructor told us, “half of you won’t be sitting here on the last day.” And he meant it. I saw a few good students get cut or not quite make it that I thought might be decent drivers. And of course a few go that never even should’ve began truck Driving school in the first place. It just depends.

 

The real world doesn’t hand out participation trophies. Training costs money, why should a company spend more money on you when there are other people who are actually qualified to do the job?

 

I went to truck driving school in 1988. Back then, there were several students who couldn't pass and were sent back to the first week of skills testing. Some of them were on their 3 time going back through the program. The school was doing everything they could to help students pass. Do they not do this any longer?
