CRE School????

That's too bad as it was a good program. In my opinion, it was more of a benefit for the more, serious students who wanted as much practice for not only to get more experience shifting and driving, but for a taste of the real world that involved pulling loaded trailers, not empty ones hooked to a trainer truck, learning the Qualcomm and the macros, getting familiar dealing with customers and backing into docks and such.

Plus, we even got a little practice in mountain driving up on Parley's pass, and a little bit of winter driving..... All of which, the rest of the other students didn't get to experience.

In other words, myself, my wife and I think two other people who qualified for the program, got like three times as much training and practice as all the other students in our class got.

As I said, its a real shame that they canceled the flex program as I feel my wife and I really got a lot out of it.

 

I did the flex back when I first started and it was a good experience. Actually my flex trainer seem to care more about my training development then my phase 1 trainer did.

 

I just got done with the refresher course on 4/26. Our class started with 31. But because of the issues mentioned earlier, our class lost 5 people. And one had to leave before the last day because someone broke into his car back home and he had to take care of some things.

I'm not sure about the newbies, except I know there were 48 in that class.
