    Good luck at C1! I was there finishing up my 3rd week this time last year. Overall great bunch of instructors. They genuinely want you to succeed. Study that pre-trip EVERY chance you get. Take advantage of the extra instruction they offer on Saturday mornings if they offer it. It was really beneficial to me. I was 40 when I went so I know what ur sayin bout fear of a career change. Just keep a good attitude and you'll do fine.

    I went through C-1 two yrs ago. Good school, just do as they tell you and find some guys who are serious about getting into the industry. If your staying in the motel, bring plenty of lysol and and dont let the roches scare ya. i went with Pam out of school,stayed 1yr 6m now im with Shaffer. Stay the course and youll do fine. Good luck.

    Good Luck and hang in there. I am a graduate of C1 in Arkansas. C1 gets a lot of bad wrap, but from what I experienced it is ones perception. They are there to get you your CDL quick! You must do your part and listen, study, and stay focused. In general my instructors really cared and would go out of their way to help you. After a few days you could really look around and see who was gonna be there PASSING with you at the end and who was gonna be left behind or complaining about how bad the school was. Good Luck and if anyone is going to USA I might see ya at a terminal sometime.
