Trucking School Has No Trailer?

Should I be concerned if a trucking school(Western) has one truck and no dry van attached to it.

I need to learn how to back up and turn corners in a truck with a dry van. If a dry van is missing, then how am I going to pass my CDL?

Any suggestions?

They have trailers, I'm sure.....they may be in the shop, or parked somewhere...but Western is a known school..and they HAVE to train and test with trailers...

OK, I will call them tomorrow. But I am sure there is no trailer because I saw a review on website and they said "they didn't have trailers and the truck was inoperable" but trainer new their stuff.

Wow...then they can't be certified...cuz there are rules. I think I'd be looking at ANY other school.......where is that school located ??

That review is false. I'm pretty familiar with WTS and I can guarantee you that they do have trailers.

You need to be careful of what you read on the Internet, there's lots of idiots around especially in this industry. You can call the school to verify but I promise you they have an abundance of trailers.

Not that I know much, but I do know the school around the cornor from my house has no trailers or tractors on the weekdays because they are out on the road. Because of the advise I read about here, I went and talked to the school house. I met the instructors and the people going to class that week. Stop in, say hey. You may be surprised. Good luck!

When choosing a truck driving school make sure you always go for a visit to the school before making a final decision. Not only do you want to see their facilities and speak with some of the staff, but just as importantly you want to speak with some of their current students in private, away from the staff, to get their opinion on how the school is being run. Anyone who just forked out several thousand dollars to attend a school is going to be more than willing to share their opinion on it. Those are valuable opinions.

Well, the school I went to had very few tractors and trailers available during the week. They were mostly driven by students in training. Now is this school also a company that only does training on weekends?
