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??
-
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. -
Thanx Smokr!!For the feed back...I know that the question are a bit redundent and I meen all do respect...I feel like I'm 5 with the questions but what about that hotel rm who pays that?!? Do you pony that up front?? What's a pack of smokes cost in TX??
Thanx I'll be around I'm great full for the insite...Hope you get some more miles!! -
