    I can tell you from direct experience that almost every time a student gets sent home is the carrier finds something and has you sent home. Most people don't understand what goes on with these carriers. The last time I saw a driver get removed was sometime ago. The way I understand it the student already had a class B. The school DAC'ed the guy and did some other followup stuff got carrier approval and let him start. The carrier then did their own check and discovered this guy had lied on some important paperwork and the carrier had him removed from the school. This is another reason I advise using a tech school. Once accepted most of the time you can finish.

    I have no problem fulfilling my end as long as not abused like a dog, kicked out before end and then left holding with a high bill to pay back

    No worries, no cdl school will just boot people willy nilly or they wouldn’t be in business. Tell your roommate to go fly a kite.

    That’s a question you would have to ask crst. Is the company paying for the training? If so then it likely depends on how far along you are. Did they pay for your physical? Did they pay for you to get your learner’s permit? Did they provide you with lodging or any transportation to/from school? Etc. basically any expenses they have ponied up for you, you will be on the hook for.

    But I am just guessing here... I don’t want to give you the wrong information. Just ask your recruiter or your instructor, don’t take the word of another student. Why are you thinking of leaving anyway? Why not stick it out and get that cdl?

    What do you expect?

    This is a real world business in a real world industry where people stab others in the back for 50 cents.

    The license is so easy to get, it is a crackerjack license.

    You mentioned flimsy excuses, well most people go through life thinking that they deserve everything even though they are screw ups. Many can't handle this work, it isn't hard at all but they want to get paid for doing pretty much sitting on their butts trying to keep the truck between the lines, then when they screw up, they cry and pitch a ****** it is unfair when they get canned just because all they did was take out another truck backing into a parking spot and then ran off.

    Tell your 'roomie' that the tv goes off and deal with it.

    Many ppl think that a few skeletons in the closet is no big deal but in this day and age companies can find out stuff a lot easier ... also some people like less competition and try to scare off a competitor ..If you were honest and try your best in class it should go smoothly ..
