Does your school provide placemment assistance? Where are you from? If you would let us know we would be able to help you better.

I did a post on the school- NETTTS RI. I think I even mentioned they were a mill. If the seat time your referring to is a total of the entire school then we did get quite a bit of that doing manuevers. But as far as a 1 on 1 on the road, then it was 5-6 hrs. I agree, I will need more training and the company I'm going to be working with will start me on local for 2 weeks before they send with an OTR trainer. I was lucky, it all came pretty natural for me for someone who has never driven T.T.. I saw guys there that didn't belong on a big wheel never mind a T.T. but they were pushing them thru. I even met a guy who had been there a yr. now. Amazing!
