I went to TDI out of Forsythe, GA, and was happy with what I learned there. I had no real surprises or problems due to lack of teaching. I did have a lack of practical experience in a semi, but no school can teach that.
I did a pretty thorough thread describing my experience there, in another forum moderated by a snowflake ex-driver who wrote a book, and likes to edit the posts of others and then ban them so he can win arguments.
1st Day.... Doh!

Westernplains how many hours driving was your school. I start in 2 weeks and we do 96 in class and 246 driving. Want to be as prepared as possible for the switch to trucks. My only experience is 26 and 14 ft boxes.
WesternPlains Thanks this. -
WesternPlains Thanks this.

I can say. The amount of hours driving in my school, was far less than actual.
Here I sit at a dealership in Cheyenne. Regen problem with truck. My very first day OTR. This is better than sitting for hours at shoppers/receivers doing reefer... -
Dan.S and WesternPlains Thank this.

That might be part of what happened? People not doing that. I wonder if the newer Volvo’s are that way?
Boss is having a “new”? Truck towed to me right now. Will be spending the weekend in Salt Lake. Waiting to unload first thing Monday morning.
This is fun...heheSingingWolf Thanks this. -
Salt lake is beautiful. Get out and take a hike around there
Dan.S, austinmike and WesternPlains Thank this. -
After Mr. Snowflake edited and deleted my posts so he could 'prove' that I didn't have a right to desire privacy from driver facing cameras, I thought about waging a sock puppet war on his forums.
I chose not to do so, out of respect for most of the rest of his community. A large part of them are good people. -
