    Yes I think someone with only 1yr driving and 2yrs off (like me) needs a refresher course. But we don't need to be ripped off for one. Most of the courses I checked into want $2000 and up. Total BS. I did lose some of my docking skill's but picked right back up when put behind a wheel.

    I certainly agree that $2,000 is crazy. I'm glad you're doing a refresher course and I bet you are too. $500 seems more than reasonable to me.
     
    Lil-beaver Thanks this.

    K so I'm almost done with my refresher coarse and I have been putting in apps in local driving co.'s. I always get 1 of 3 responses. (1) Is this for your husband ? (2) Is this for you ?? and my favorite is when they look at me confused and ask (3) You have a class A ???
    YES I'm short, female, and a driver!!! :biggrin_25516::biggrin_25523:

    Boy, if you fill out an application with your name on it and they ask you if it's for your husband....I don't think you want to work for that outfit!

    Good luck with the job hunt...fingers and toes crossed for you.
     
    Lil-beaver Thanks this.
