In 2008 I went to CFI in Joplin. There were slot of newbies walking around complaining about waiting to get assigned a trainer. Also, they cut people during the 1 week orientation that made no major mistakes. So I guess the had to let go some. Good training there. They had the polished concrete skid pad, wetted down. You'd get into a jack knife on purpose and steer it through cones. That gave alot of confidence for bad situations .
I got a good veteran trainer pretty quick. In spite of all that, I lasted 4 months. Scratched another truck backing at a truck stop. And a fork lift broke through the floor boards. That was blamed on me.

How is a forklift going through the floor of the trailer your fault??
