    dont worry about your transcripts. The only one that might ask for them is Stevens Transport or JBS Carriers, but not because they care what your grades were, just so they know you were actually in school and also to give them a better indicator of where your weaknesses are (both asked for mine when I did my apps).

    I got a 75% on Airbrakes and an 80% on combinations for my in class tests (not CDL permit test), overall my GPA was 93%, and I was the best in the class. ;)

    but at end the of day, you have your cdl. when you get hired, work on those things you weren't that great in to become a better driver.

    Thanks I'm headed to Werner. It's such a relief to get through CDL school. I know things will be different once I get to my trucking company.

    After you start driving, no one will care...much less ask where you went to school. No one is looking to hire the valedictorian. This isn't Harvard vs Yale. I tell all potential new drivers it's what counts on the qualification drive. As long as you can hit half your gears, don't drive on the sidewalk and don't run over grandma with the shopping cart....your in!
    CDL school is to get you your license. Your first job will (hopefully) train you to drive.
    And it isn't rocket science, folks. It's developing good habits but repetitive action. And that takes time and effort.
    Good luck on your new job. You'll hate it...and you'll love it.
    We were all there once.
     
    SMPARKER74 and John Miles Thank this.
