CDL School Bad Experience
Topic 21764 | Page 3
It varies by state, average wait time to test is about two weeks.
Virginia is 30 days.
How did things go at school today?
Well the instructors hardly talked to me all day. I went driving for the first time with instructor John. He said that I am ready to go test for my license!
Just got a call from the actual college. She will be talking to the chief of police for the school. The instructor is not allowed at the yard or the campus. If he shows the local police are to be called and then contact the college.

Jenn, I've been following this topic but haven't added in because you've been getting excellent advice all along.
I get the idea from this post you're gotten a "She called the cops" tag. But the situation demanded it and no one can say you did wrong. Stick to your guns girl. This reaction will blow over soon enough. (Besides once you're out of school it will be "history".) And maybe the whole school staff needs a kick in the head (or some other place 😉).
Finally you've endured the experience and you'll know exactly what to do next time. Do not hesitate!
Best of luck in your new career.

Well I have had my CDL since Febuary but have been busy so haven't been able to post. The instructor tried his **** again with a different student and when she complained to the school they not only suspended him they fired him. The police used my case along with the other students for probable cause to arrest. Who knows where it goes from here but that isn't my focus. I have my CDL and driving local to boot.

Are you within a 3 week program? I know for my CDL program there was a required amount of hours we needed after getting our permit before they'd be legally allowed to test us. I honestly forget that required time. Maybe one of the trainers here can provide a bit more context to that timeline.
I was in the weekend course and moved to the weekly course. My boyfriend is in the weekend course still and has been offered to test already.
