Since the laws were changed last year and you have to go thru a school to get cdl This is going to only get worse. Overcrowding, understaffed, and they can charge high prices.
Roadmaster Phoenix too many students, greedy?

Is there any kind of certification for the instructors? Federal or state licensing? Do they have to have any formal training or a teaching credential?. One of our retired drivers interviewed for an instructor's job in Sacramento and he said they'd take anyone with a CDL and a little patience. There was no real curriculum, no standardization in teaching methods, and very little actual personal instruction if a student was struggling.
The students watched a lot of videos.
He didn't take the job. He said for most of the students English was a second language and the communication problems were unbelievable.
And, so you'll know the guy knew what he was looking at, he has a teaching credential and works part time at the local Community College.austinmike, tscottme, Magoo1968 and 2 others Thank this. -
Holy crap, people actually agree to pay that amount to drive a fluffin truck..you didn’t agree on that did you, lol

You could have come to South Florida for a college course..paid out of state tuition, lived on the beach for a month, eaten like a king and have scratch leftover to fly first class back home.
1 month one on one training and you test out.. -
Well it’s 7500 plus a 4000 “financing fee” , not sure how that works

I would find a way out of that contract and run away as fast as I could. If they misrepresented the course in any way that’s a start.
All the debt people are willing to take on and they don’t even know if they’ll last a week in the real world..austinmike and TheLoadOut Thank this. -
