School Closing

I can't see that happening. Once you've passed the test that CDL is yours as long as you keep your medical card up to date. It might be a little more difficult to find a company to hire you but if they've hired from that school in the past they have a good idea what their program is/was like.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Hmmmm...
Wouldn't be so quick to say that there Chickie.
There was an instance a few years ago, where a trucking school that used it's own "3rd party testers" (believe it was in Tennessee) was found to have been passing folks improperly. I believe every CDL that was issued by the testers in question, were invalidated, and the holders had to re-test.
MyWay - if you tested at the State DMV , by DMV testers (not the schools), you should be OK.

I always forget about 3rd party testing. I tested with the state and didn't even know there was such a thing as 3rd party testing until a couple weeks ago.
