Does Your Truck Driving Record Follow You?

Say for instance you didn't complete training at one school and decided to go to another. Would that follow you if you tried to do that and would it look bad to potential employers?

Why would you want to do that? or Did you do that and what were the circumstances? Most of the 160 hour training programs are very similar. Fast paced, No BS. All they are in Business to do is teach you the bare minimum skills to pass your State CDL exam. You do not leave there a "Truck Driver" by any stretch of the imagination. Good Luck!

But will they know that I didn't complete one and went to them though?

Is it a company school or private pay?

It's a private school and I'm thinking about leaving and going to a community chiller where It's free. I already know I have to pay touring to the school I'm on once I leave.

Is it a company school or private pay?

Not 100% sure but if it's a private school I don't think it would follow you. As long as they get their $$ they probably don't care if you complete their school or not. As long as the school you get your CDL training from is accredited and accepted by the companies that hire new graduates I don't think you'll have any issues.

As far as I know...until you are employed and receiving a pay check you are not an employee. Therefore there is no DAC to follow you.

I don't recall the applications asking if I wen to other schools....just asked for past employers. School is not an employer.

I Messed Up Truck Driving School Related

Since you were at a PRIVATE SCHOOL (that it looks like you still paid/owe $8K to) and not an employer-based training - there isn't necessarily going to be a record of this - though you may have to "account for" the time you spend at the school (if you weren't working at the time and it created a "gap" in employment).

Not sure what you are looking for us to advise you on - you were probably better off sticking to your original thread, so people would better understand the context of your issues.

Ibn, in my opinion quitting the school you are in now is close to the worst thing you could do. Being a private school, I don't know if the information about quitting will follow you, but you tuition bill certainly will.

My advice on that other thread, that you focus and finish there, still stands. I bet you may be able to take a few days extra if necessary to prepare for the CDL test.*

Remember, most companies will help out with your tuition once you do get hired. Otherwise you may be on the hook for $8 thousand plus any other new school fees you have to pay at your new company.

We understand you are in a tough situation, with important choices to make. My feeling, and ultimately the least painful overall, is to complete your CDL work at your current school.

*Legitimate schools must keep a record of their student completion rate. They have an interest in making sure you get your CDL through them.

Well I'm also broke as hell and I need to pay my bills. So I'm gonna have to get a job. I know the local community college has a free program and doesn't last 10 freaking hours a day like the school I'm currently at does. Also the community college has much smaller classes than what I'm currently in as well.
