Just graduated Friday from SMTDS. Great school- I heartily recommend them. They get right to the point, and you will NOT be babysat- but they do provide all the help necessary for those who take a bit longer to "get it".
The biggest gripe I have was the loneliness. I was the only student on my side of the living quarters, and it got REAL QUIET at night. They were really patient with me on the alley dock, since I have an issue (a 56 yr old's eyes...) with depth perception.
Because of the quality of the education, I went out on test day CONFIDENT that I would pass with flying colors. I got the WHOLE TRUCK on the PTI, and the alley dock- and passed no sweat.
I have orientation Thursday at Gregory logistics in Poplar Bluff, MO. In 2-4 weeks, I'll be out solo.
Now, about Trucking Truth... The education I got here made it easier for me to concentrate on the "hands on". I was quite ready for the paperwork and permit test before I even got to school. THANK YOU, Brett!
I set goals, did what I had to to achieve them, and now my new career is about to start for real.
See ya around!
