Just curious about the difference?

Ahh but what if I'm British? In that case I made no error...Who knows? The "rule" is not universal. Have a good day.

 

Thanks!

 

Lol when was I offensive when it was "unwarranted"......? I was not REMOTELY offensive in my original post and if you've read anything else by me on this forum you'll see I don't ever verbally assault or try to offend anyone for no reason. If I'm offensive you can bet its a rebuttal to someone taking a dig at me JReding. If you choose to be a smart-### to me, then you can bet you'll get a little in return. But I don't just randomly say offensive things to people. I believe it was others wearing their feelings on their sleeve, and getting butt-hurt from taking things I said out of context in my OP, and I merely returned what I was given.

 

Understood but everyone is entitled to their opinion as well as I am. I actually (while to everyone here it means nothing ) drove about 16,000 miles before attending CDL school while I had my permit, with a family friend who is an owner op, so no I didn't just go to CDL for a month a feel like I know it all, becasue I certainly don't know it all, and I know that. I think my OP was just highly taken out of context unfortunately, which led to snarky remarks in which I replied with the same attitude I was getting that is all. As far as the bold print, I'm not yelling at all. I just happen to like the bold print, it's purely a subjective like on my part. Be safe.

 

Sigh....As I've said SEVERAL times, I definitely 'get it' I merely made the post out of boredom, to spark conversation, about the differences in 'training periods' between companies and how many are actually effective, give most just have a random predetermined length of time they 'require' that has nothing to do with each individual trainee's skill level, not to mention 'trainers' who don't belong in the 'trainers' seat giving the green light just to get another body in the seat to continue making more money. I think the whole training system needs to be restructured. Do I need to ride with a trainer regardless of my experience? Absolutely. Do I think I need to ? YES. Do I think I need to be with a trainer for any longer then 4 weeks? Absolutely not. But some people might need longer training. As stated in my last post, CDL school was not my only "experience". I didn't just attend school and come out thinking I 'knew it all' becasue for the 15th time I certainly don't believe that. I also agree that it's far too easy to obtain your CDL as well, considering the kind of equipment you end up operating.
