Profile For Ten T.

Don't get me wrong I got a vague idea of what to do thanks to that school and yes they did walk all over me and yes the private trucking school like his has a low emphasis on safety as he "let a student hit a light pole to show him what could happen if you don't swing wide" and using us as pack mules to haul fully loaded at 72000 lbs about 100 miles so yes irritated but I agree my backing is already significantly better and I'm in good with a trucking company now but getting rusty as yard trucks drive differently than sleepers or even day cabs

So I have went through truck driving school and sure it was fun at first I was getting pretty good with everything the pre trips easy driving pretty good even though I hate manuals now I put every bit of energy I had into it my weakness was of course backing so I tried to get better and I have, but when I went to take the test the first time things went down hill the examiner did not properly verify the name of the person testing and someone else took the test under my name and he didn't figure it out until the test was over so I did not get to take it that day and then corona virus hit and I had to wait two months during this time I kept going to the driving school where I was told to let the newer ones go first and for me to sit back and do his job for him teaching them pre trip and the backing I knew while I was severely limited one day I got into the truck tying to practice backing after doing the straight line I was told to let the others do it so I couldn't practice he refused to let me drive for weeks so when I finally got to take the test I failed due to screwing up on the 90 degree because of him not allowing me to practice so I wasted time and money to sit at the "driving school" and do nothing I got an offer to be a yard dog and took it because he wasn't going to let me do anything and now with this experience all the time and effort I put in is wasted I feel drained and all the determination I had at first is completely gone and I have no other options it ****es me off that he will get away with doing this and I am just not sure I ever want to take that test again. If this is how I am getting treated now I can only imagine it would get worse and I have absolutely no one to turn to to get some semblance of justice from the way I have been treated

So when I came into cdl school I was ready to absorb all the information I could, now after several set backs not including coro a virus I am at the point that I can't keep going through this with nothing to show for it I am not making money and I am left in a situation where I can't keep waiting to make money and I have just lost all hope which is causing me to make seriously dangerous mistakes when I do get limited drive time since I have to work so I don't know what to do to give up on this now or what I should do here if there is one more set back I will get worse

I have heard it a thousand times it will just click thats a flat out lie i have tried and tried i am barely on the acceptable range for backing and nothing jas clicked and yet i keep hearing that if it clicks then why hasnt it? It tales me about 10 to 15 minites to back and get it just right in a dock nothing has clicked and made it seem easier its hit or miss and it has driven me to near insanity and yes i know some truckers have been doing this for years and still havent perfected backing it cant be done but I should be able to do better than this

Well ket me start off by saying i have researched trucking before i went into school and i loved getting into the truck and double clutching and backing i got pretty good at it all and at pre trip while this trainer did teach me a little he has tried to take credit for all my hard work while he has been doing little to no instructing but thats not the bad part i was ready to test on march 24th only to have the third party tester and the instructor to screw up making the other guy that was testing that day take my spot and only after he completed the test was it discovered that the wrong person took the test and he could not do mine because they had to change the test to the other guy so here i am in april being told i cant take the test until may due to this mistake of not asking for proof of who was taking the test i have been put off several times and i am not saying they are at fault for the corona virus but the fact that i should be on the road right now making money, but here i am having to get a job at a grocery store due to their mistake while the other guy gets to go about his happy life as a class a cdl driver no money no time and homeless due to this and i am trying to keep positive but this situation unfolding as it has cost me everything. I know this is a bit of a rant but have any of you been through crap like this and what actions should i take if any?
