<p>[QUOTE="Maine1, post: 518736, member: 17888"]I'll graduate from NTI this August 7th from the Hermon, Maine campus. The 80 hours of classroom was decent, awesome instructor learned a lot. BUT the 160 hours driving part of the school is pitifull! Old equipment, nothing like trying to ally dock and parallel park with a messed up steering box and this is the truck we test in, what made the driving and learning part enjoyable even with the lack of equipment are the two instructors, they are fantastic. As of this week they did bring in the old Mack to the shop to fix up the steering box. That now leaves us one yard truck for six students to practice with for our last week. And to top it off, I guess our class is really lucky, we have to wait almost three weeks to the day after graduation for our test date, so that will have us all rested up with no driving time. We should all be right on top of our game come test day. </p><p> If you decide to go to NTI Do your own job searching homework, they will tell you that there will be all sorts of recruters coming into class and that there are all kinds of driving jobs, we had two recruters and Werner was one of them. I guess if I had to do it again I'd go with a reputable company that schools and trains you, even if you do it for six months to a year. </p><p> Good luck and I wish you well. Oh by the way, I haven't found any work here in Maine so if you find any please let me know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
