I Don't Know What To Do!
Topic 21810 | Page 4
Very happy to hear that Jenn is back on track. You got this, Jenn!
Yes I am still here. While I was mock testing the instructor got a phone call that I needed to go to the college immediately. Instead of going I called. She changed the meetin to 8 am this morning. 5 minutes from now. They wouldnt tell me what it is about. All I know is everything that has happened here has made me more determined than ever to pass my test on Tuesday. It is going to be one and done. I drove the route for the driving test this morning and the right turn that everyone is failing is easy peasy. I got this.
Glad to see you're not giving up. Good luck today. Remember, we're all here to offer help and support.
Well doesnt look like I am testing on Tuesday. With everything going on they are making me take another drug test. I dont have an issue doing it just a pain. My meds always give me a false positive. So then I have to get another script from the Dr. to prove I am on the meds. They wont even get the test back until Monday then I get to jump through hoops getting the paperwork they want. I am so fed up with this school. I have the knowledge and access to a cmv. I should just go on my own and it.
CMV:

A CMV is a vehicle that is used as part of a business, is involved in interstate commerce, and may fit any of these descriptions:
- Weighs 10,001 pounds or more
- Has a gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating of 10,001 pounds or more
- Is designed or used to transport 16 or more passengers (including the driver) not for compensation
- Is designed or used to transport 9 or more passengers (including the driver) for compensation
- Is transporting hazardous materials in a quantity requiring placards
Jenn has a bad idea:
I have the knowledge and access to a cmv. I should just go on my own and it.
Do not take that path. Without a verifiable 160 hour training certificate from a truck driving school you will have an extremely difficult time getting a job.

Agree with G-town. They're playing with you a little. Play their game, take the test and get your license. Then go make a living. Best of luck to you!
Keep your head in it. Don’t let them shake you. Jump through their hopes and smile on the way out with your CDL. G-Town is right. That accredited school CDL will help you open many more doors.
CDL:

- 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.
Do you think a company would transfer my schooling to there CDL program?

There's no way that will happen.
