DOES QUALITY DRIVERS/CELADON GADSDEN ALABAMA REQUIRE STUDENTS WHO ALREADY HAVE THEIR ALABAMA PERMITS TO RETAKE THE PERMIT TEST?
Topic 9125 | Page 1
That does sound crazy to me too.. i came into my school with my permit and others have too. and they just deducted the cost off my school cost.. of course im in nevada not alabama but should be same
I went to quality in Indy. Several students already had their permits. They still had to sit through all the classes, but didn't haze to retake the test.
Contact the recruiter they should know and tell you all about it...

There are state and federal requirements that you have so much class room time. That's why they do that.

I was just informed that a student 5 months ago was forced by Quality Drivers/Celadon in Alabama at the Gadsden Alabama School at Osborne had to retake the Alabama CDL-A Permit test, The reason was it was in the contact that they pay for it? Is this strange or is it just me? could they not just reimburse you the cost? I have a Alabama CDL-A Permit with HazMat ,Tankers and Doubles/Triples paid for by me and earned with study on my own this sounds crazy? Does any other school require this when the school is in the same state your permit was issued in?
