| Haven't been there, but when you get your license, hire on with CFI. You won't regret it. |

| Didn't go to school there, but drove for them for awhile....pretty good company. The drivers treated each other like family. |

Can't really answer your question. I only attended their 10-day orientation there. Just started driving for them 2 weeks ago. All I know they do all their training at the Missoula terminal. Good luck. |

How are the housing accomodations at the Missoula terminal for the students. Also, do you think that the students after four weeks are trained well enough to go out solo in the dry van regional area.

| They have a drivers lounge with a full kitchen and the rooms are (I believe) 2 man rooms. There are showers directly across the hall. The instructors will have you running mountains most of the time you are training and yes, with them after a month you are ready to go. They won't let you take the test over and over like some. |
