What confused me was the
"* All Students should start their Road training on Monday. This will be determined according to the State of domicile specific schedules. Students are only assessed fees

totaling 13 days."

Im not understanding if this portion is back home or at TN?​

 

yes its millington, so do they bus me up to the new boston terminal for that or what?..do you know?

 

Im about 2 hours west of the new boston terminal and about 2 hours east of the gary terminal..give or take..Im getting all excited to go now..I hope everything works out good, I know once Im there I will have no problems, Im just always paranoid about something happening and I dont get to go, or I get sent home..but im sure it will all be fine..=}

 

I know I dont have to take the road test, as I already am Licensed, but I still need to do the road training to get comfortable again, so Im not sure if Ill just do that in TN or if Ill come to Gary, or New Boston..Ill call Kris on Monday afternoon to find out, if she hasnt answered my email by then, shes been pretty good with getting back to me quickly, Just hoping the whole comfort zone thing wasnt smoke and rainbows..lol..
