    The rider program allows a child over 13 or a adult over 18. fee for the extra insurance is about 20 to 25 bucks a month. I just pay the months my wife wants to ride. Some have riders year round ? Its a nice setup.

    No pets unfortunately. My biggest one, a lab/pit would absolutely love to ride with me. He never misses a ride to the store in the car on weekends but company says no go for pets.

    No. Generally if you make it past the first day you're good but we still lost a guy 3 days in. I have the impression my group was a little extreme, but 9 of us started there were only 4 of us left by Thursday and most of those were gone the first day. Other classes didn't lose as many. If you have to go out with a trainer you aren't hired until you come back in and take your road test for the second time. It wasn't until I had my 6 weeks with the trainer and tested out until the tester shook my hand and said 'congrats you now have a job with Epes if you want it'.
