What can ya tell me about C1 in Little Rock?

I dont know about the one in Little Rock but there is one in St.Louis and the C1 students take the CDL test on the backing pad where I go to school at (about 2 hours south of St.Louis) and out of the 2 weeks that Ive been in school I have seen 4 C1 students there testing and 2 or 3 out of the 4 failed on their different backs (alley dock, left side parallel, and right side parallel and straight back). So that tells me that the instructors are not worth a ####. It could be that they were nervous but they didnt even do a correct set-up for the back they were going to do.
I would say you could do better than C1 if you look around.

Good luck to ya.

 

Mo doesn't require a serpentine back? I think I'm gonna move!

 

Nope, Missouri does not require serpentine back. Im not saying it doesnt happen, but I have never heard or seen a trucker having to do a serpentine back. Right now, I cant picture a situation where one would be needed.

 

There's a couple places near where I used to work that frequently required a serpentine back. The businesses COULD have adjusted the approach - and I know they were asked to - but they were Jerks (yes, with a capital J).

 

Its sad that buisnesses like that have to be jerks. Im not good with jerks because Im not much of a people person anyway. I like my dogs more than I like most people but I have learned to bite my tounge and look the other way otherwise, Im taking a mild situation and turning it into something worse than what it needed to be.

Good luck to ya.
