Hello, I was excited to learn to drive a semi truck, as I have always been stuck in a factory. Now that my children are older, I have the chance to live my life on the open road. So, I signed up for this great opportunity with driver Solutions to get my CDL. They sent me to a hotel in a very bad area of Detroit, the room smelled like pot the whole time I was there. After complaining time after time, I finally gave up. The school I attended (Suburban Truck Driving School) was about 9 miles from the hotel, which didn t even have a working ice machine.Two weeks into the schooling the power went out on a Sunday morning around 9am due to freezing rain causing lines to break. I spent that whole day waiting for the power to come on. It didn t, the next day I called Driver Solutions, and they didn t have a back up plan or anything to offer besides a room with no power and no hot water. Upon pulling into the hotel that night I witnessed them taking out a dead body that had froze to death. So, I bundled up and laid in my freezing hotel room another night. I would have to run my truck to just try to get a little heat on my feet, but soon became very low in gas and funds to replace the gas I was burning just trying to keep warm. The power finally came on Tuesday evening at about 5:30 after Driver Solutions offered me a hotel an hour away from the school. By now I was definitely broke and couldn t afford the gas for the week or to eat, so for the rest of the week I barely ate, and barely squeaked by on the gas. I was 3 hours from my home, and two weeks into training, I had a lot of time invested in this opportunity. The school I would give a 5 star rating to, but the way this situation was handled by Driver Solutions definitely showed me the kind of employee relations they have.
