Good luck with the course. I see it is run in coordination with NETTS. How long is it and what is the tuition fee? Is it a fairly new offering there?
Hey Snake_Ize,

They have been running the school for 2 yrs, as far as the tuition' I'm not really sure what it costs for the full program. I'm only taking a 80 hour refresher course, which cost $2500.00,already have my CDL. The full course runs a total of four weeks, 8 hrs a day, 1 week in classroom,the remainder out driving and manuvers.

Striker, that is the same place I went to. When you start practicing out in the yard, ask wayne about his one and only time driving through new york city.

Hey Hat Rack,

I'm starting out in the yard on Monday and I'll be sure to ask Wayne about his trip to N.Y.C. When did you attend the school ?

February of '06. Since then they've repaved the lot so that the Mass State Troopers can have the driving test there in the yard. All the trainers are pretty cool. Hope you enjoy the refresher!

Just so you know, if they haven't gotten rid of Truck #48 yet, it doesn't have any power steering

No one make the same mistake I did by going to Parker Professional Driving School in Avon, MA.

I almost failed the road course section of the state test because it was set up entirely different from the course we practiced on for 2 weeks at the school. The test course was much more narrow and tight. 2 weeks' training pretty much thrown out the window at that point.

A school that can't even set up the cones correctly has a major problem. Granted, the layout was the same, but the state cop's course was at least half the size!

I should have gone to NETTS.
