    So went into class today just to find out that my class got cancelled because the other 4 guys dropped out. What a joke how do you start a class then go oops I can't do it because I have to go to work or the other guy that had a pace maker and then found out he couldn't drive a truck. People need to think ahead and make the time so they can go to school.

    My class started with 4 people, 1 had a CDL but hadn't driven in 10yrs and all she had to do was get thru school, no testing required and quit on day 2...Another was such a physical wreck, why he didn't check into things ahead of time I'll never understand, within 2 days DOT doc refused to sign him off and he quit leaving just 2 of us which I loved!!!!!!...We got so much drive time it was great!

    a pacemaker....???

    good golly miss molly..........

    there just has to be a good student to instructor ratio at many schools. at my school we need at least 6 students per instructor. we like to have a class of about 15 to 20 students. this will allow my school to keep 2 full time instructors on, and perhaps 1 part timer. in your schools case, they need a certain amount of students, and that's it. they know thier end of the financial aspect of student to instructor ratio.

    but my god.....a pacemaker.....??? why wasn't he told from the very beginning...????

    This type of thinking burns me. You paid your money and showed up and they cancel your classes??? What the hell happened to integrity??? Not your fault they didn't screen out the other doofs before they ever got this far. I'd be raising hell for my money back and be going elsewhere.:biggrin_25516:

    It seems most schools will take money from anyone who will pay it and worry about their qualifications after the check clears...Like the guy in our class, they shouldn't even have taken his money...

    Crappy thing is unless I wanna go through a company to do my training i'm up a certain creek without the paddle or boat hahaha. I missed the cut off date for the other school in my area. My instructor called me earlier and said he was going to try and get a class going next week. If not I guess I'll bite the bullet and look into swift or another companies training:biggrin_25513:. Sucks that I PLANNED everything around school and then these ####### do some dumb crap. Oh well thanks for letting me ##### for awhile im gonna get naked and sit in a corner and cry while pouring water over my head. hahaha

    Well I'm still getting my training but they want me to move to the next class. Problem is I lose my military check next month and I can't afford to have a lapse in paychecks. Hopefully a class will start next week like he's trying to do. It's not the schools fault just a bunch of guys that didn't plan right and I just happened to get the short end of the stick.
