You should have tried paralell parking and alley docking 112 when the  tandem tracking arm was shot, hard to get set up right. More recruiters came to Maine before the paper mills shut down, not so many loads  leaving Maine as there once was. It's my understanding that Maine isn't a big freight state, along with Washington state and others. It's hard for companies to get drivers home with a load and get him back from home time with a load. Thats where it helps to live near a terminal in a state with a lot of freight. I think NTI will let you guys come for practice a few times to be ready for your test.The chances of getting a job with a company who has their own school are probably better, however, you have to work for them for a year to pay them back for school.If you quit before that year is up, you still have to pay them and often times it's more than if you stayed. They make more money if you quit, and are in a very good positionto make that happen. Thats why they do a credit check. They end up keeping the guys with poor credit, because the only way the company will get their money back is to keep them. They know the guys with good credit will pay them. IMO, it's better to go to a private school and avoid that mess. Best of luck on your test.[/QUOTE]
