I am writing this letter in reference to this truck driving school and its operation. This school is licensed by the state of oklahoma, which for the past 5 years has operated at a location in moore, oklahoma, a suburb of oklahoma city. This school now for whatever reason hurridly moved to a new location in mustang, oklahoma, on the west side of oklahoma city. The reason i was told was the old location was being torn down to make room for a new shopping mall.
Whatever the reason i have questions and concerns.
I have learned that this school has contract agreements with crst trucking company as well as werner enterprises, covenant transport, and several others to refer the students to them for school. These students are going into debt for a large sum of money approximately $3200.00 by signing a student govt loan to attend this school. When the students arrive at the school they are treated like kindegarten kids, shown rundown, unsafe trucks to learn in, which have bald wore out tires, brakes that are out of adjustment, doors that wont stay closed, leaking exhaust, lights that dont work.
WOW, you are really getting your monies worth. This school is either 3 weeks, 4 weeks, or 8 weeks long, all the time having little organization, watching the office staff locking the hall doors to keep the students from having access to the restrooms. If a student walks upfront to the office to ask a question, they are told to leave the office. The classroom is in the shop area of the new location, which has only one heater, no air conditioning, overhead doors that dont close completely. When the owners, dan and april cromwell are asked about the trucks, the students are told the trucks are exempt from the law due to being a school.
I have news for them, its against the law to operate an unsafe commercial motor vehicle on any city, state, or us highway, its also illegal to deny anyone attending the school or working there access to the restrooms.
Someone needs to start raising hell about this ripoff truck driving school. They shouldnt be in business. Alot of the students are upset, have complained about this, and getting no results.
