I left Washington State at my expense, to go to Schneider Truck Driving School in Mesquite, TX. I was making 9.5 gpa for the fourteen days since entering into school. They claimed they never let drivers fail, but students leave on their own volition. Five other students "disappeared" before me. I was virtually thrown out within two hours on my fourteenth day after entering into the school. That was my fourth day of actual hands on, in the truck, driving. They then announced to me that I would owe $4000, and put me into a bus terminal and were gone.
I have known experienced drivers for many years, and they are stunned that any student would be expected to master shifting with less than four days training. Read your contract very very carefully.
