Message:: [QUOTE="milestogo, post: 537531, member: 5174"]It's been a while since I've posted here, and am pleased to see a Maine thread. I read about driving schools, and didn't see any reference to ProDrive in Scarborough. I visited NTI in Scarborough and Region 5 in Mexico (not Rumford) then stopped by ProDrive in Scarborough. NTI and Region 5 both had class size of about 20, and quite frankly had the appearance of a prison work release program. ProDrive on the other hand is small, and focuses on individual attention. Because they offer rolling admision, classroom size ranged from 2-5 people. When it came time for the range practice time, ALL time behind the wheel was one on one. It's my understanding that the other schools put you in a truck with other students. In terms of cost, Region 5 was cheapest, then ProDrive, and the most expensive was NTI. As for training companies hiring in Maine, when I started less than 2 years ago, FFE was hiring, as were others mentioned. I went with Roehl and had excellent training, but left before they shut down Groveton, NH. This spring I landed a part time local job, and am well pleased with it. I'm semi retired, and have found this line of work to be suitable for my needs.BTW, Wolding still runs Maine. They haul bottled water out of Poland Springs, and back hauls to Maine are generally to Hannaford in S. Portland. Best wishes to you all..[/QUOTE]
