    Have fun out there with the TE. Green Bay orientation was pretty fun for me, too. I liked all but one of the instructors there, lol. He was the one doing the final "test" (I say that loosely because it wasn't really a test - dont' sweat it when that time comes). He'd just look up from his phone long enough to loudly bark something at me. Scared the bejesus out of me when he did. I finally had to tell him to knock it off. If he wants me to learn this extra stuff (stuff like skipping gears - that I wasn't really taught at that point), he needed to do so in a calm manner. Anyhow, the rest of the team were grrrrreat!

    My very first night out with my TE, I had a lot lizard at my door. I've never had one since. May something fun and memorable like that happen for you, lol. Just don't invite her in, k?

    Hey Female Driver,

    I have RAVING reviews for all but two/three instructors... One due to the fact that he's more interested in his "talk radio" on the slow maneuvers course, and another young guy that seems to be out there since he has nothing better to do... The rest of the entire staff is excellent...

    Just spent the day today doing all the on-line CBT's... Although verry dry, it's all knowledge that reenforces previous training and good refresher stuff...


    Are you out of Edwardsville???

    Hey jit4747,

    You are in for a 28 hour experienced driver course... I took the full "basic/beginner" course... Really unsure what your agenda will be, but ensure that you will know the "Schneider Way" when you exit on the other side...

    It's all good though...

    Female driver. The lot lizard thing is funny. I also must admit i went to the bar a couple of times too. :biggrin_25520:

    Oldroadie. All the sni training is easy. U will do fine. I never had sny problems with any of the training staff. My girl had gus and i had dan . When i tested out i had an old guy. He didnt care about anything.
