When you take a group of students very few will be ready to be on their own in 3 weeks unless that had some kind of prior experience. On average it takes about 6 weeks for a student to be released. Some even take 8 weeks depending on their learning ability. Companies are rushing them through too fast IMO. When I was a newbie it was 8 weeks with a trainer everywhere. I talked my trainer into releasing me after 6 weeks. I wasn't allowed to drive in congested cities until the 3rd week. That's about the time you get the shifting down enough where you don't get in a pickle and the trainer starts trusting you to where they can sleep.
Good luck and absorb as much as you can. When in doubt get out and look. You can't hurt anything if you aren't moving.
Shaffer must of recently moved to Lenoir City. I'm about 45 miles from there and never knew they were there.
They are much better than these other training companies as far as working for. I'm sure if they had problem students they would train a little longer. -
