CDL MEGA Truck Driving School
The worst training school ever

Attended 2012

Just want to let everybody and anybody know this school sucks. It was one of the most stressful experiences of my life.
First off their general knowledge part of the class was a 1980's type video tape (not even a CD) of Billy Bob the truck driver explaining the do's and dont's of truck driving.

Next the Pre-trip instructor didn't teach a freakin thing. You basically just sat in class and studied your book with no informative training what so ever. Then the booklet you were learning from was full of improper spellings, and incorrect information. So after a less than a week the instructor takes me to the side a says"For $50 dollars I'll pad you Pre-trip class room hours and give you revised training manual".

He was then fired and we were left with no Pre-trip instructor for large part of the 88hrs need to complete that portion. We finally got a new instructor for the last 10hrs of class time.By the time that was over I wanted a shot of whiskey and a Valium.
Never did learn how to fill out a log book, and the trucks we learned the Pre-trip instruction on would not have passed a State inspection unless someone was getting paid off.

The Skills part of school was also a joke they basically showed you one time how to do it and then left you to figure it out on your own (very few pointers).

The Road portion of the class was fair, except for the instructors talking on their phone's or texting while I was trying to learn how to drive.

How completed this school is due only in part to my efforts and quite a bit of my hair.
