I PURCHASED LESSONS AND A SCHEDULED ROAD TEST FOR THE TRACTOR TRAILER LICENSE FROM THIS COMPANY. THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE I WAS ASSIGNED TO (WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE ONLY 18-WHEEL VEHICLE THEY OFFERED), WAS IN EXTREMELY POOR AND WOULD DEFINITELY NOT PASS THE PRE-TRIP INSPECTION REQUIRED BY LAW TO EVEN TAKE THE TRUCK ON THE ON THE ROAD(LOW AIR WARNING SIGNAL, CRACKED WINSHIELD, ETC.) TWO WEEKS AFTER MY SECOND LESSON, I EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS TO THE INSTRUCTOR AGAIN - BUT WAS TREATED IN AN EXTREMELY HOSTILE AND UNPROFESSIONAL MANNER - AT WHICH TIME HE LEFT THE TRUCK AND UNMANNED AND DECIDED TO LEAVE. I THEN WENT TO THE OFFICE TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPEND - MAINLY TO THE MANAGER
