AIT Las Vegas Nevada

So far so good. Have been enrolled in AIT in las vegas for 10 weeks and so far so good the quality of instruction has been great and a eyeful and earfull so no complaints there. New students every two weeks in the class sometimes its a little difficult due to a new student starts on log books first day of class etc, little intimidating but all seem to get thru it and pass. I have had no real problems with class or homework instructors are more than knowledgable its a clean facility and the range and tractor trailers look ok but some senior students have complaints about them clutches etc but way i look at is hey look at what those units have to put up with day after day. in closing I say that the school is a good choice for me and have no regrets looking forward to the range and career

 

well if you were accepted by school and did your apps and have a good dmv report i believe you will be fine I was the same way and withing 2-3 weeks of going to class i recieved my pre-hires threw three companys so its all good aslong as i pass my final on friday 26 febuary i will be going to the range Just a tip for ya bring a back pack book bag etc they get heavy carrying all around and get your self a highliter for sure. Dont get discouraged when you start I go to the night class and it couldnt be better. If you have any questions or problems feel free to ask revensmj@aol.com

 

Well last week of classroom at ait in las vegas aslong as i pass final exam on friday then off to the range finally. The new dmv rules in las vegas are a pain but was able to take all 5 test today and passed them all. Anyone thinking of AIT in las vegas. be honest and upfront dont lie on paperwork if not sure ask! Get all your apps done as soon as possible, after a couple of weeks and you dont hear nothing call the companys yourself it worked for me had my prehires but school was backlogged but the companys i talked to faxed my prehires that day. As far as school dont think there is any better in Nevada. The movies that they show are outdated but information is still good. and what i have learned is BE PATIENT.

 

well friday has come and gone went over the homework at ait, and some movies then it was on to the weekly exam and whew i passed with a 94.1 then after the break the final exam went to another room and took the 50 question final and passed with a 90.1 so off to the range i go

 

So far so good, Have good instructor and learning all the obstacles on the range so its coming together nicely. Have to just relax and breath and stay calm and its all for the best

 

Well the two weeks on the range is over, so its on to shifters alley. Must say last nite on range was a challenge. Was in a differnt truck 3ft longer wheelbase and longer trailer, took a bit to get used to but was nice to be in a tractor where the clutch was smooth. The steering was what really got me was only two turns lock to lock, but went well, still studying pretrip inspections and brake test. So far so good and ait in las vegas was bes choice.

 

Well shifters alley last night. It was fun and eye opening for sure alot to sink in and in a short while. Still Ok no complaints, Have new instructor he is patient and knoledgeable and good teacher and it showed with all the new students he dealt with last night. Upshifting ok have to work on downshifts, will say grinning ear to ear when i drove on the highway what a rush.

 

well its wed. and last night was great drove the truck from the school and up on to the hiway and down the hiway and pulled into the new loves truck stop at the apex exit. I was the tenth customer at new stop, only been open one hr. During a little smoke break and the truckers seeing it was open it was filling quickly and it was great. and then drove back, must say I can finally say even though new i drove the truck on public roads and hiways I did it and it felt great, it sure beats fixing the trucks thats for sure. Great school, Great instruction, Great teachers. Im getting little better each day, saftey is still president. The Freightliner fld is a beast of a truck.

 

Well another week gone by it was good and bad had one of those bad days couldnt shift or back up they say happens to all and i believe it have been with three different trainers and three different trucks finaly was able to drive the ten speed it was ok just have to remember what gear was in all in all good training have to study brake test again i know it word for word was put on spot thursday and had a brain lock boy i was mad at myself make ya kinda worry if im going to pass this god i want to pass
