if you dont pass the final no matter how you do you dont graduate u could have gotten 100 on all your other test but if you dont pass there final its all for nothing

[tmuller02]

now we started our night driveing we were out till 1am yesterday i think this is kind of crazy considering were starting our dot cdl tests next week and i think we should be putting our time to passing this test instead of driveing 2.30 hr roundtips to nowwere in sc i have to say this school needs to get priorties straight

Hey I live in Greenville and have been thinking about going to Greenville tech for their truck driving school. So I would be interested in hearing how it goes for you.

Have any job prospects lined up yet? Have you ever done a ride along with a trucker to see how it was? Do they even offer that? Let me know what you think...Thanks
