    I wasn't there lately by any means (Feb 2007)

    But I'll share anyway. Road test, drug test, DOT physical, lots of paperwork and lots of training videos. If it is still Mr Allen teaching it, he's a stickler for etiquette in the classroom, i.e. one person speaking at a time, wait until you're called on to speak, etc.

    I was there in April of this year. It is still Mr. Allen teaching the class. When I was there it was just paperwork, physical, drug test, logging and mapping, videos, etc...for newbies. No road test until after your time out with a mentor.

    I can tell you to beware of the woman who is responsible for matching you up with your mentor. Her initials are P.A. When you go there you'll meet her. She will stab you in the back if she gets the chance so don't give her any reasons!! I'm just sayin!!

    Best of luck there!!
