    I couldn't believe TTR would repeat the BS about a driver shortage and encourage waste of taxpayers money on government training when such a high percentage of students leave the industry within a year . Shame on you TTR . :protest:

    just curious there by any chance did you get ARD and not a dui since your from PA? If so It may have been expunged from your record. get a copy of your MVR, if it shows two may have problems. you may have to go to driver solutions and take your chance with being a slave for a year if you really want to do this.
