If I signed up with a trucking school, should I be able to get all the training like the other students do?
I’m now in my second week on the range. My first week I was supposed to be getting 4 hours of training on the range. However, I only got 2 hours and then in the afternoon I rode around in the back of the cab with other students who are on their driving time on the road. I feel like I’m being scammed because I’m not getting my entire time on the range. I have a loan with them and they got paid $7054.06. Can I complain to the training person about this?

Your rights are to:
1) Get the training you paid for--that is, get whatever amount of training (i.e. be trained for whatever test, certificate, etc.) that was what they advertised you'd received and what you agreed to pay for. That's not necessarily the same as getting the same training as everyone else--there is no inherent requirement that all students be treated the same. Again, you just have to get what you are paying for.
2) However, the aboves said, you may not be discriminated against on the basis of certain protected categories or characteristics, such as age over 40, religion, race, sex, or disability. If you feel that you are getting less attention due to one of these reasons, you may have a legal claim if they do not correct their treatment of you.
