Arkansas State University at Newport Training??

So far so good not much to tell.The main focus the first few days is to get you your permit. They seem to schedule alot of behind the wheel time, and focus alot on backing up. hope that helps. Oh and there are four people per apartment, two to a room

 

ASU newport is a great school. there are PLENTY of trucks to go around. the "ghonnoria" apts. LOL are right behind a walmart. i went there in January and have been driving for USA since then.

 

I start next monday.

 

the town is small not much to down but go to class so I wouldn't worry bout R&R. The traininers are great, as Pat said plenty of trucks, and there is a Krogers. I would suggest staying in the apartments they provide only because of the friendships make. We all studied together ate together and just made this first week brezze by.

 

How are things with USA since thats who I will be going with.

 

i have no real complaints so far.
i have been paid for ALL my miles run
paid the orientation pay
paid the bus ticket home from orientation
paid to pick up my truck (bus ride)
paid the bonus after becoming first seat.
paid for all weight tickets and lumpers
everything they said they would do, they have.
i have seen a few threads i've yet to respond to that said otherwise. i really don't know why their experience is so different from mine? i really like my dispatcher he has gotten me home when i requested it so far.
just be on time every time and turn in all reciepts ETC. and you WILL get reimbursed for it, I DID.

 

forgot to say, I DO have one complaint....63 MPH is toooo dang slow!! LOL
