    big schmidty dctc is going good,Im in my third week now(time flies)skid pad exercise is this week:biggrin_25521:.Did you pick a school yet?
     
  5. Glad things are going good, keep me posted, this week should be interesting. I'm currently driving a straight truck till November when they close for the season. Then, after deer season, I'll pick someplace. I have a CDL A license, just very little t/t driving experience and what I did was 10 years ago. Roehl over in Marshfield has a school for 2500.00 and I could get home on weekends...don't really know where to go yet. I appreciate your updates, should help me make up my mind. I never been formally trained, just read the book, did a lot of backing into a dock and took the test and passed the test.
