    I went to NTI in Scarborough. I don't think that I could have received better training than what I got at NTI. The instructors are a bit on the hard side at first, but it is understandable, driving can be dangerous, especially when you have a trailer! Once they know that you know what you are doing, they are very friendly.

    Road test is easy too... they have an automatic to test on. However, I would have prefered to drive one of the standards, I feel more comfortable in it. The automatic took off the line so slow empty (only 5 speed), I can't imagine having to drive it loaded.

    I went to Scarborough weekends, but took my road test in Bangor, because I live in the area. Did you apply to Western?

    I can't travel interstate yet, still 20 years old. I wouldn't have applied after the info I recieved from the recruiter, plus there is something wrong with a company that is called Western Express with only 1 yard west of the Mississippi River.
