(pure ghetto), there was a few times when i went outside my room at night to smoke a cig and i noticed prostitutes in the parking lot, there was a guy that tried to sell me stolen property, the only decent thing is there is a denny's practically in the parking lot, so if you want breakfast (other than a cup of orange juice and a bagel), and there is a mcdonalds and a chinese buffet across the street.


the instructors are really good, as for class room instructor you will want "Hondo" he's funny as hell and he knows how to teach and how to make it fun.

there are several truck instructors and i can only speak for one of them, but they are all really good at what they do. me personally i had Jim Hicks (2006 Schneider instructor of the year) and he was an awesome instructor, they will pair you up with a truck instructor based on your personality and the way you learn the best (they give you a little survery to figure this out) and its pretty accurate.

the training is 2 weeks, and you need to get used to the idea of 14hr days and forget about having a day off. they have to stuff ALOT of info into your head in a short time.

i live in dallas, and my apartment is only about 8 miles from the hotel, but i still chose to stay at the hotel so i wouldnt have as many distractions and i would be more focused on the school instead of what was going on at home

I can't just pack up at a moments notice and leave for 5 weeks cause of my family responsiblities so no I can't do this I say and again they say ok good day and hang up.
