    New soon to be driver here ready to start school tomorrow. I will be attending Fox Valley Tech College in Appleton, Wisconsin. It's a ten week course, I believe we should be graduating mid July-ish. From what I have read on the forum here this is a great place to learn. I am really excited to get this rollin' as I have been on the waiting list since October. Good luck to all the new student drivers out there, hey maybe I will see ya in class tomorrow!

    School is going great! Alot and I mean alot of information is thrown at us very quickly, but I am starting to make it all click. Today we bobtailed around the range for a couple of hours for the first time! I had a blast and can't wait to drive again!

    Dave, are you currently in the Fox Valley Tech program?

    Zolten, are you planning on attending! And, as far as I know for the first couple of weeks we stay on the same truck. After that we change trucks to get used to the differences of each of them. The truck I have now is a phantom 9 speed, I feel pretty confident with it.
