Experience with IITR ?

I have looked into several driving schools in Oregon and IITR seems to be as good as it gets here, any one have words of wisdom about them?

Thank You

Bugz

Uh...I still see them quite a bit around. They run fairly decent equipment compared to a couple of the schools in town. I went there and got my moneys worth but that was in 89.

Next week will be my last of four weeks with IITR in Creswell. I highly recommend it. There are only four students this month so we get alot of attention and practice. Good job placement as mentioned earlier. Three of us are already set up with jobs. So far recruiters from Gordon, May and US Xpress have been to the school. The driving practice routes consist of country roads as well as town driving and freeways. We drove doubles for three days last week. Hopefully I'll pass all my tests next week and be out there on the road soon.
