    You aren't 'tested' per se at that point. The 'tests' were while you were out with the trainer. When you are back at Dallas between trainers it is more just map/trip-plan class than a test. There is a road test at that time, but you can hardly fail that if you've been driving with your first trainer at all.

    Can ya'll give out some info about the mileage ya'll are seeing on the average wk per say...& from what I can make of it I suppose that the hole training can be knocked out in 14wk from hitting the bus depot in Dallas till you basically on your own truck??Also how much money will I need to have while at Stevens??I've read the HORROR stories in this thread but you can never tell...if it's true but is there little to no food made available during the 3wks in Dallas??What was ya'lls experience like??

    Those are all answered by my posts in this very thread. Start at the beginning and read my posts if not everyone's.
    I got about 2,000 miles a week.
    14-16 weeks until your own truck, yes
    As much money as you will need for food and cigs and etc for four weeks at least, and the $100 you pay Stevens.
    Stevens doesn't feed you. There is a chuck wagon on the yard and you can eat okay for about $5 or more a meal off of it. You are better off getting food at the BigLots or Kroger and cooking in the hotel room and brown bagging to school. Read my posts in this thread for more details.

    You get a copy when you get down here so don't bother printing it.
    You will stay at the Crosslands, I'm at the America's Best about half a block from the DPS. They should have students stay here near the DPS, geeze.
