I will be doing a blow-by-blow account of my wife's experience while attending MTC in Hazelwood, MO. I will post the good, the bad and the ugly.
First day she spent time filling out paperwork - which required them to sign where ever there was a yellow highlight. It even included filling out a lodging agreement, which they wanted my wife to sign even though we are local and she commutes to and from the school everyday. From what the other students say, the rooms have a king bed and a recliner - for two people. They also wanted her to sign an agreement to sign onto a carrier, even though we paid cash for her training, and she is there to get her CDL so she can drive with me. They provided lunch for them. The rest of the day was DOT physicals and drug tests. They had the local students wait until the end so the out-of-state students could get done first and meet their shuttle.
Second day was spent studying for the written test. Instructor basically read from the book. I thought they were suppose to teach? Anyone can read, I think. When it came time to lunch, the scolded my wife because she was going to take one of the sandwiches provided for lunch - she was scolded because she is a local student and they don't provide lunch for local students. The local students pay the same amount in tuition as the out-of-state students do. Why are the local students treated differently? She feels the attitude towards the students is really horrible. The staff at MTC treats the students like kindergartners. I told her to tell the rest of the students there to get use to that as the major carriers treat their drivers like that!
The other issue seems to know the instructors don't know how to communicate with the students as far as what time to arrive to class the next day.
Stay tuned for the next day........................
