Ok, so I attended driving school, I completed the 180hr course. I scored high on my AP, another guy and myself were the best drivers in the class, for 2 weeks I did pre-trip everyday with a instructor, they all said I wouldn't have a problem passing at DDS. Well I failed twice, which, I shouldn't have. I was failed once for not mentioning something I was told to wait and they would let me know if I needed to call it. Next time I was told that I didn't press the brake during my applied pressure loss test. Now the school won't answer and to set up another test date, I have waited the seven days. I know there are companies that will pay for cdl training, but are there any out there that have like a one week course or something to help you get your cdl?
This is something I have always wanted to do and it's off to the worst start. I'm now out, money for school, I lost $262 on a plane ticket, I'm down to $80, with no income coming in, I'm a week behind were I should be. I should've started orientation this past Monday. I'm just agravated with this at the moment.
Thanks in advance for any input
