    Does anyone have information on how good of a school Smith and Solomon is? I plan to go within the next few weeks. So far its been good with administration they made enrolling pretty simple. Everyone's experiences are always different I would just like to hear of some good or bad.

    Your experience will depend on how many students are there at this time. All the trainers are good if your spending your own money voice your opinion and try to get as much road time as you can. If there are a lot of students you will sit around and wait most of the day just to get behind the wheel for some backing skills and straight line. Head to the DMV on your lunch breaks to take your endorsements there's a Quich check and pizza place across the street. Yard tucks are pieces of ####. Good luck!!!

    I'm there now and doing great. My first 2 weekends I was highly disappointed. There's pretty much no love for the NY students. The trainer was always on the road so I pretty much taught myself the pre trip inspection and air brake test. They need a dedicated trainer for yard work for NY students. The trainers are good though. For the nj students its not as bad on weekends compared to during the week. I hear you could be waiting hours for your next turn. Some of the trucks are crap but your learning. Overall even with my bad experience in the beginning I would recommend this school. At the end of the day your there to learn enough to past your road test if you feel your not getting the attention you deserve or the lines are to long just be patient.
