[QUOTE="ManInBrown, post: 4621414, member: 46614"] Feeder schools are really hit and miss. Some locals as has been posted on here do the training right at UPS. They don’t send drivers to an outside school. Here we are sent to an outside school. We had one school that UPS stopped using because everyone was failing when they went to DMV to take the test. I went to the other school. It was one week 8 hours per day. It was not good training. It was a lot of nonsense. Pre trip, post trip, and not a lot of driving. In a way I hate to say it, but you have to really get lucky to pass the test at DMV. It’s not easy. It took me two times before I passed. I know guys that gave up. Still in package. They couldn’t pass the test at DMV. Whether it be pre trip, or driving they just couldn’t do it. There’s a decent amount of luck involved to get your CDL. Another thing is, here UPS pays for the school obviously. But you only get two cracks at DMV too pass. You go the first time, if you fail you go back to the school for one day training. They take you back again, if you fail again, any additional training and the fee for the school to bring their tractor to DMV for you to use, is out of your pocket. And if you tap out and give up, you have to pay UPS back the $2500 they spent for the school. So there’s a lot of pressure also. [/QUOTE]
