what would you call a cdl mill

I ended up taking an advanced driving course in Alberta. The course was about 120 hours long, which included 54 hours of driving time, and included WHIMS and TDG training, as well as an airbrake refresher course. The actual driving time was divided into two parts. The first part involved a heavy emphasis on pretrip, and driving with an empty trailer, and basically was meant for you to prepare for your road test. After you pass the road test you start driving with a 70 percent max load trailer, learn advanced shifting techniques, and learn how to up/down shift on hills and mountains. Most of the driving time is spent one-on-one with a qualified instructor, and the tractors are fairly new 13 speed Eaton-Fuller transmissions (with one exception)

Most of the instructors, I got along with well, and were very patient, (with a couple of exceptions). It wasn't cheap, but when its all said and done i will only have a $3500 loan to pay off. The only real negatives about the program was that the 120 hours was spread out over two months and there was one week in which I did not have any driving lessons at all. I did talk to a couple of major companies about the school and program prior to enrollment, and they spoke very highly of it (Bison was one of the companies, I think)
