In the 18wk course I was in to aquire a class cdl, our school become over capacity,overcrowded, students lost driving time and experience, and our odds of finding employment decreased as number of students increased. The only people benefiting from this job application spike is the trucking school owners collecting the grant money,expanding thier schools, and overcrowding the trucking applicant pool. I wouldn't be surprised to see a spike in trucking accidents due to the lack of driving experience at some of these "overloaded" truking schools!
