    Buck up matey. The rooms are good size IMHO. There's possibly a 45 percent chance that you will be bunking by yourself before the week ends. Some like me will reconsider their position and go home, others will fail the drug test or some portion of the medical examination, etc.

    I think the idea about having people room together is to gain some practice for living with your trainer in a space much more smaller than the room. If you wish, you can pay for a private room during PSD. I paid $102.00 (including tax) for 6 nights. That's a bargain!

    it's only $100 for a private room? Sounds reasonable to me :biggrin_255:

    Yeah, the price is right for a private room. I had a little trouble with the WiFi on the second night but I set up a VPN on the laptop and watched Netflix movies with no problem. The next day the WiFi in my room was fixed without doing the VPN thingy. The TV in both of my rooms were very good and plenty of channels to watch.

    So i was just looking for opinions on the Lightweights, if for some reason i had a choice in trucks when i get done with training, what are the pros and cons of the different models available?

    On the room, size is nice. Clean but not fancy. I asked for non-smoking and when I got to the room, my roommate was already there and had been smoking like a chimney (in the non-smoking room).

    I asked for a private room and it cost me $126.70, well worth it since this is my last shot at privacy for a couple months.
