    Do they still make you take the maintenance course before getting your keys?

    I haven't heard anyone mention it lately.

    If not, do they at least give you the maintenance info packets on the tractor and trailer in you "upgrade bag"

    Yes, during your ACE-I Upgrade you have to take the maintaince class before you can leave out. Flatbed also requires you take the securement class before you leave out.

    In the old days we did the practical portion of Smith in a mini-van. Instructor sat in the passenger seat and each guy took a turn behind the wheel rolling around Springfield.

    There usually was a stop off at a mini mart for a break.

    Then some joker totaled the van by slamming into the back of someone. What an embarrassment in front of 4 other drivers and an instructor.

    Well, seeing this was back in the "old days" maybe it wasn't a mini-mart they stopped off at for a break!

    Well our instructor was kinda pervy. He routed us past all the pools that you could see from the road... Public and apartment complexes. Looking for a glimpse of some hot chicks.

    Just out of curiosity, what kind of pet? I have been contemplating taking my "buddy" when the time is right, but I don't know how a Cat would handle the Road let alone the truck.
