Really disappointed. CDL School.

Thanks a lot for the replies guys.

Fortunately I already have a good job. I want my CDL so I have another option if things ever go south at my current job. It's always something I wanted to do.

I choose the school I did because they've been around since the fifties and seemed like the best. Boy was I wrong. 11k to watch Youtube videos and maybe get some seat time. Yes, I should have done more research. To be honest I don't even know if I want go back. Why? To deal with broken down trucks and not enough instructors for road time. There course involves going through a industrial park and then back the highway because the city doesn't want their trucks going through downtown.

If nothing else at least I have the certificate that shows I went through school so I should be all set come February of '22.

There's another school near by that offers private lessons (or did). Going to at least call or visit them. Permits good till next year so I have some time. I'm not a quiter just need to decide my next step.

Definitely have a new found respect for you truckers. Operating a train is easier than trying to back a tractor trailer.

Thanks again.
