Luzerne County Community College class action lawsuit.

My ex got her CDL through Luzerne County Community College. She still can't back a truck though and I think the course was 6 months long.

 

There is a local third party tester and small CDL school in Hawley that may help you for a small fee. Dimino Driving Academy, they do hourly rentals of their truck for practice and will then test you. They don't cheat and take shortcuts but they also don't nitpick. This will get your CDL privileges reinstated with PennDOT and then you should be able to get on with your career.

And yes, as a former PA third party examiner myself I agree that LCCC should be held accountable for their failure to conduct proper third party testing. This jeopardizes public safety and discredits the entire third party exam system. I would support a class action lawsuit against them. Especially given that they are a State accredited learning institution and students have a reasonable expectation to obtain a proper education and assessment at such. It isn't like you went to Joe's House of Trucking and took the three hour CDL special.

Let me know if you ever find the lawyer for a class action, I am admitted (qualified) to testify in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, California, New Mexico, New York, and New Jersey as a expert witness on transportation and commercial driving. I would love to work on this one.

 

I think filing a lawsuit would take longer than it would to just bite the bullet and get a refresher course.

But lets be honest here, what are you hoping to obtain? A refund? Their defense will be that you didn't take to the information that was given, they will show records dictating where you spent X amount of hours doing such tasks, and then they show other students who spent similar amounts of time and passed without issue.

I think you're wasting your time and should just do as another suggested.

 

The issue with Luzerne County Community College is they provided training, completed the test as a third party tester and the students were then issued licenses. After a period of time the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation audited the school and found their third party tester was not in compliance requiring many former students to retake their CDL practical exams.

That is where the lawsuit comes in, not from the OP failing his retest at the state run exam site. It is obvious, no insult intended to the OP, that LCCC failed to do their duty as a PA state accredited learning institution and state certified CDL testing facility given that the OP was unable to pass a new exam administered by a different driver license examiner.

The failure of LCCC to operate a legal and compliant CDL third party testing facility is the main basis for a lawsuit.
