Success Rate

What is the success rate for the Millis Traning Program? What percent of driver's actually end up getting their license? Also, when you test out for your license do you do it in your home state or with a third party tester at the training school? I have never drove a truck before so I'll be as green as they get and I was just wondering.

 

Thanks and what do camera's in the trucks do? Do you have to keep both hands on the wheel and all of that stuff?

 

Yea that's what I figured China. I've actually just been offered a job a mile from my house making 12 an hour so I'm thinking I may just take it and work there a year or two and save up enough money and pay for school on my own. I am 27 now though and I don't want to wait to long but I think this is what I may do. There is a weekend school in Oak Ridge TN and I may try that in about a year after I save up enough money.

 

Ohh ok, I'm from right on the Ky Tn Line, I live about 5 mins from I75 in Ky. I can see Tennessee from my window. Do you think it would be a good idea to just take that job until I get my ducks in a row, because 12 dollars is great around here because the cost of living is so low. I am going to drive a truck though I just wanted to have my license by the time I hit 30.

 

Oh yeah lol, moonshine's a dying art here now ever since it became legal. They sale it at the liquor store at exit 141 on Jellico Mtn now. Just a sad run down place now, hard to find a job making over 8 dollars an hour. Ever since I was a kid I can remember seeing those trucks in town because we live right on the interstate and thinking "I'm gonna do that one day." I also remember so many of the truckers complaining about Jellico Mtn in the restaurants and what not. I live right under that mountain and as soon as it starts raining you can set your watch to it you will hear sirens and see the north bound lanes crawl to a stop. Really is a dangerous place but growing up here I guess we just became immune to it. Do you think it is a good idea to just work that job for maybe a year or so and save up some money and then go trucking?
