CDL School Closing Down For Financial Reasons
Topic 22356 | Page 1
now all of our test scores are no longer going to be available
why would you think that? the test scores are registered with the state as far as i know. when i transferred my CDL from MO to NJ, the DMV contacted MO not my company.
Have you been driving since you graduated?

The completion certificate is important, but it loses it value if you did not start driving within a few months. even if the school remained opened, many companies would send you back through training if too.much time passes between school and your first job.
you havent given us much info.
if you have been in a driving job, i wouldnt be worried about it. just be sure to wait a full year in that job before leaving. if you graduated months ago, and never took a driving job, the age of the certificate could be an issue, whether the school is in operation or not.
I apologize for the limited info, after completing school I waited a few months to start driving due to personal issues...i then landed a local driving position in which I've been working for close to a year now...

Nobody needs to see your scores. Once you've got a year of experience nobody will even want to see your certificate. You're good - don't go to concerning yourself with something that's not even a problem.
Your only problem is going to be if you decide you want to go OTR. Then your local experience will probably be considered as zero. In that case you will have to go out with a trainer for a few weeks.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
I have a class A license, but I've only been driving a local class B tanker sir, is that still ok?

Yes, your biggest problem is going to be that you don't have class A experience if you want to go to a class A job. As long as you have the class A license you should be able to get on as an OTR driver, but you will have to be trained. Not all of them will take you but some will. I think your biggest hurdle would be class A local work. That one usually requires experience.

Good evening I'm from Georgia and I attended a CDL school out of state... I recently found out they are closing down for their own personal and financial reasons... what would that mean for any of us students who attended and received our CDL will that mean we have to retake the test I know it may sound stupid and crazy I'm just wondering because now all of our test scores are no longer going to be available
