Hey guys my name is Matt and I am attending a privately owned truck driving school in Southern California and have a CDL test date for April 1,I made a huge mistake in choosing this school it has turned out to be a "set up for failure situation".The school is only interested in money and has delivered none of the promises they said they would.I am going to break it down because they are so many issues.Ive paid a total of 2595.00 since 11-19-14 they only have one instructor for the whole school,and the owner of the school monitors,dictates,and minimizes everything the instructor does with the students,only allowing the students(me) very minimal time behind the wheel with the practice skills I'm talking 20-30 minutes a day it takes me longer to drive to the school then the time im there.The owner on more than 3 occasions has stopped skills practice and sent everyone home for no reason other than saying the DMV won't take appointments for a while so you don't need to practice anymore than one week later tells me I have a DMV date already made when he has no idea what level I am at with the skills portion of the test basically he made my appointment without my knowledge or discussing anything with me and he has never instructed me on any skill to evaluate my level.Sorry that I rambled on my frustration is through the roof I didn't sign up for this I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and I would like any suggestions on how to handle this,like they say don't just pick a school because you think they are good take your time trust me it's not worth rushing into because some schools are just thieves and have no interest in teaching you a trade
