    Me or the monte hood? :biggrin_25525:
    Don't speak so quickly.... you haven't read what I think of drag racing yet! :biggrin_25521:
    You have more than likely met up with members of my family then...... many live at Famoso..... :yes2557:
    I finished and got my license. It is a typical mill... nice instructors/trainers but the school itself sucks. :biggrin_25520: http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...ivers/44963-can-i-get-some-sympathy-here.html

    Your welcome. :biggrin_255:

    Okay. You mean ex-drivers running their own school with their own trucks. Those guys charge about $5000 and train you all day for about 4 weeks. Some people seem to like their one-on-one time and don't mind the expensive rate. Plus,when you're done ,you work for the company you choose with no contract or obligation.

    Okay then........ you asked ....... Drag racing is for men who are accustomed to measuring their thrills in seconds because that is all they've got in 'em



    well i can show you 6 seconds at all most 200 mph that mite change your mind about circle jerk racing! j/k:biggrin_2554:. the launch of 1800 horse power and 42 lbs of boost is addicting and the hit of 2 parachutes at 197 mph is a rush like no other! not bad for 6 cylinders!:biggrin_25522:

    Basically......except that the schools are usually businesses that are run by people who have no idea what they are doing...... then they hire former drivers to do the training.

    The rate, or expense is the same as if you go to Schneider, Prime or Swift or any other carrier ....... the license part of the training costs $3,500 - $8,000 either way.
