FTA-Asheboro, my drivers solution experience!

Well tomorrow morning is the big day!!!! I finally can get in the drivers seat and stop riding all day in the sleeper. I was told that maybe monday and if not definatley tuesday they will start testing us out on PTI's and skills tests. Then whenever the instructor feels we are ready next week we will start road tests. Then licence and graduation next thursday!!!! Cant wait!!! Then I can finally call USA and get an orientation date and location.

 

Well 3 of us got 3 hours a piece behind the wheel. I did a whole lot better than I ever expected to do. I almost looked like I knew what I was doing. LOL. Went good for 2 of us, the third needs a lot of work. And of course he was the ####iest one in the bunch. Aint it funny that those are always the ones who do the worst. Well anyway, everyone have a safe weekend and will keep you posted on my last week of school. I believe we are gonna start testing out on PTI's and skills monday morning.

 

Well there arent doing any PTI's or skills testing today. I and one other in my class were told to be back at 1pm. We are doing our night driving tonight til about 11pm. Will let you know how it goes.

 

Well I got a total of 9 hours driving today!!!!! Half during the day and the other half at night. My instructor today told me that he felt I was ready to test out. He said that I am going to be a great driver and that any company would be glad to have me. Made me feel good. I think I only got 2 bad marks on my assesment sheet for today. One time I forgot to put down the splitter before going into 5th, and the other time he caught me floating a gear. No big deal, just cant do it for the test. Other than that the day went great and I didnt grind much at all. Hopefully tomorrow I can test out on my PTI and skills and then set up for my road test. Will let you know how it goes.

 

Well I passed my PTI and skills testing. Got a 98 on my PTI and only 2 points on the skills!!!!!! Now maybe I can get my road test done today. If not then tomorrow morning.

 

You were nipping at my heels but I had to stay one step ahead of you. Lol., I passed my road test with only 4 points, instructor said he really had to nit pick me just to get those, he said you can't send someone to dmv with a perfect road test score. Sends up a red flag. So I got my certificate, my walking papers and will be heading to Vandalia, OH on the 27th. My final GPA for school was a99. Only one anywhere close to me was Raven. So, now that we know where we are going, anyone have any advice or anything to say good or bad about Vandalia.
