Does CDL School count as "recent experience" and replace the need for training

Can anyone confirm if you've been out of trucking for a few years, and sign up for a course at a truck driving school can you use this to replace the training period that most companies will want to put you through?

 

That company specific stuff can be taught in a day or two at a company classroom. "Remembering" how to drive a truck can be accomplished on one's own dime elsewhere.
If this is not the case, then why do trucking schools offer "refreshers"?
I think one of these refreshers plus a road test at the new company should be enough. At least I'll be using that as selection criteria when narrowing down options. Probably will be able to find a company that doesn't care either way. Just road test and go.

 

Yeah but we all know three months of recent experience trumps 3 years of clean record experience.
