    Hi y'all,
    I'm not a driver. I'm 47 and am looking to enter the industry. I have narrowed my searching to 2 companies to go to their schools. One is CFI and the other is Millis Transfer. I live in Central Texas and am aware Millis Transfer has a school just up the road from me. I do really like that CFI has training at Crowder college.
    Would appreciate any info y'all could give me. After I get my year in, I think I'd like to pull tankers.
    Thanks.

    Yes I highly recommend it... The skid pad alone is worth the trip...

    Seriously, great instructors living conditions are not bad at all, lots of wheel time decent student to teacher ratio.

    Good luck to you, I hope you choose CFI and Crowder... I did it 7years ago at the tender age of 55.. don't regret a minute th e other students called me Pop... it was fun, food was decent... If memory serves, the dorm was two per bedroom, three bedrooms in the unit, two bathrooms, and a common living area, campus WiFi laundry next door...Every body except me commuted home on the weekends, so I had the place to myself...

    Very cool, I'm leaning that direction. I'm just about ready to pull the trigger.

    Drive it through the CFI recruiter, he or she will make your reservation in the school and handle all reimbursement stuff... I think when I did it, I paid$1000 for tuition, $500 for room and board, and they paid the balance once I met my commitment. I don't know how it works today...

    It's a really good school. Skid pad, narrow roads and lots of hills around to learn on, plus I knew one of the old instructors there, he's a really good guy.

    Yes the narrow roads and tight turns we were graduating and horsing around the new incoming class was taking a trip around the Figure 8 course... At all the corners we move the barrels in so it was impossible to make the turn for all the newbies... Simple things amuse my simple mind

    Everything I've found about them is positive. That's saying something because it's dang near impossible to find anything about it. Why so few people talk about it online?
