  Are there any other former ‘Nu Way’ Trucking “School” students out there who attended one of their facilities in either Livonia or Pontiac, MI – THAT WOULD LIKE TO TAKE PART IN A ‘CLASS ACTION’ LAWSUIT AGAINST THE COMPANY???!!!
  We are a (growing) group of individuals who have had very bad experiences with this school, in everything from repeatedly being LIED to by recruiters, very poor “trainers” (many of whom were YOUNG ‘twenty-somethings’ who’d JUST FINISHED THE SCHOOL THEMSELVES 6 MONTHS EARLIER, greatly misled about the actual “tuition” payment terms they would eventually saddle us with NOT being in accordance with what they initially promised verbally – problems with “Lifetime Placement Garauntees” proving to be a farce less than a year after ‘graduation’, and being issued ‘CDL’s in some fradulent way – to students who really weren’t cut out to competantly and safely drive in long term trucking jobs – but whom ‘Nu Way’ wanted “on the hook” for many thousands of dollars anyway – even if they couldn’t find ANY kind of job here in Michigan to use to pay them!
  IF YOU CAN RELATE TO ANY OF THESE COMPLAINTS OR SITUATIONS FROM YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE WITH ‘NU WAY’ – PLEASE JOIN US!

  All there is now is to follow the procedures of DAC and dispute the info placed on your DAC. Probably won’t accomplish anything, but one has to first follow their procedures.

  The most important thing to understand about removing false info from the DAC report, is that the driver must have “proof” that the info is indeed false. Also, check out the works in building a Class A lawsuit against USIS, DAC and those companies that abuse the driver by placing false info on their DAC . . .

  If you care to, you can help all drivers by signing our Stop False DAC Reporting Petition:

  Good Luck

    Basically, two choices:

    (1) Go back to CDL school or
    (2) Take a refresher course

    Typically, refresher courses run around $1500 and could be the ticket you need.
