Why do many experienced drivers say driving schools are bad?
There is no official regulation of truck driving schools at this time. Because of this, there are many schools in business that shouldn’t be. The goal of many of these schools is to get your CDL and that is all – typically done in a very short time period. Many very, very critical things are not even taught because there is one goal and only one goal. Experienced drivers take much pride in their skills. When someone operates their truck in a very unskilled manner it embarrasses the drivers around them. Many drivers instantly blame a bad driving school for producing such a “bad” driver. Until driving schools have better regulation as to what is taught, there will be bad schools teaching very little of what a person really needs to know.
