    Good luck, don't miss the bus. Enjoy Crowder and pay attention there, it will help you tremendously. Have fun on the skid pad.

    I went through the CDL program at Crowder back in Sept/Oct. My experience was great and I have never heard anyone speak ill of the boot camp. John and RJ have a wealth of experience to share and are highly regarded by everyone I have spoke with. Good luck!!
     
    vmaggs Thanks this.

    RC ran our boot camp. Piece of cake if you had any training on a 13 speed.

    Hit the highway today and all went great. RC told me that him and John were "broke" up due to some ones complaint. Heard the story and it's all BS but the powere that be.... Any how RC does BootCamp and John is running the regular class. Both great people, having fun and learning lots of fine tuning!! Just a few more days...:biggrin_2559:
