    Day 7 Back out to the yard nice and early drop and hook practice trailers a couple times and then watch another student do pre-trip then back to backing which seems to be going a bit better. Then to lunch and when we came back and are told park trucks and drop one of the trailers we are going to take a trailer somewhere. Ended up taking old trailer back to Dane. One student drove there (45 min) south of us and different student bobtailed back. Both guys did great job !!! Then back to the grind more maneuvers miss one here then POW start nailing them . Think the break did everyone a lot of good , we all appeared to leave this evening in much better moods in regards to our progress. Tomorrow we should be doing mire of the same as well as running another trailer down just not sure which of us will be driving which way. :) have a good night and great day tomorrow all

    Hey, does MTI offer training for students that do not plan to work with the company? My options here in JAX quite... stink.

    Proxima: not sure best thing I could tell ya is give recruiting a call, would think that they might but you probably would have to take care of the tuition up front seeing as you wouldn't be around to work it off.

    I would think they would not do that as there is no benefit to the company other than the cost. Your best bet is a local school or vocation type of school in your area. Google is your friend! :biggrin_2559:

    Yes, I hope that happens for you real soon!

    Have you been assigned a trainer yet? Are you going straight out or doing some

    hometime first? I'm planning to drive my truck over to Trenton for school, then bring

    it home before going out with trainer. That is unless they (Millis) changes my mind. :yes2557:
