Please please I need help in CDL school

Well in that video that instructor continues to tell the student not to press the clutch all the way down, and he also put subtitles in there every time the student did it saying not to push the clutch all the way down.

I can’t publicly call out the school/instructor because of legal issues now. I left the school after the 3rd day…

For clarification, the instructor/school in the video is NOT the same school as the one that I left. I was only linking the video to demonstrate the clutch/brake combo that I asked about in my original post. As mentioned, this schools YouTube videos helped me greatly, because my instructor didn’t teach squat.

 

And that’s the thing. He was always telling me to shift to neutral then stop, then he’d have me sitting in neutral until right before the light changed and would tell me shift into gear. All of the videos I see online, the instructors have the students stop in gear while holding clutch down.

This guy was such a hack man. He just didn’t want to put wear in his truck and didn’t realize he was causing the wear by not teaching you correctly. I’m so mad but it’s going to hurt him more than me. I started a big S storm.

 

Great video. I will be able to use it at the next school. I bet the whole class fails except 1 guy who was naturally gifted, but he’s going to fail because he’s not double clutching.

 

You have to double clutch for the CDL Exam. The owner/instructor claimed you did not and did not attempt to teach it to us, even though I mentioned it several times.

I was good at downshifting since the 2nd day, and 3rd day I got good at floating once this forum and YouTube videos gave me tips. How you say you stop, is how I saw it on YouTube and how I thought it should be done, but he kept making me go to neutral. My main weakness was stopping because every stop of ANY kind I would go to neutral first, and the dummy would get mad that I wasn’t stopping fast enough when he was making me do it wrong.

The stopping issue messed me up on things like turns and my confidence because I was always worried about it and never would gain too much speed.

 

Bingo. Once I found out that his company was contracted with the school, and it was his 1 and only truck, I knew it was coming but figured because it was an older rig that maybe he would be cool. But all this guy would do is cry and talk junk about his equipment. No company will hire you if you ruin equipment. Get it right or if you keep messing up equipment you need to decide what you want to do. Lol seriously. It’s funny now but I was like Jesus dude, why are you even teaching? Remember I was only there for 3 days lol so he was doing it since day 1. I had to bite my tongue and stop from responding since they had my money.
