Went with the per lesson package which costs $150, but allows me to train in the truck for a whole two hours by myself. I went with this plan because I didn't know how to drive manual and the biggest thing I've ever drove was a UHaul moving truck. In my opinion it's a real good option if you have already an idea of drive a truck or a manual and depending on your skill. It beats the hell out of contracting for the lessons which puts you in a group of 4 to 8 guys waiting your turn over a four hour day which ends up only being maybe 40 minutes truck time. Sucks for does guys in the cold snow and rain. There's no protection to sit under.
First I thought about NETTS and even had them come by to get some information so I could pick the right place. As for that experience it was like a used car dealer experience. The guy was all nice and explaining everything. He even tried to explain why it would cost $11,000 and take 6 months. He said that most people would get some kind of financial aide from the government but I know better, that meant I would get a few government pell loans that I would have to still pay back.
Thank god I read up on this place and it's scams because once I said I was just looking for information and wasn't signing up that day and just handing them $50 applicant fee everything changed. The guy got ****ed that he was wasting his time and ended the presentation without answering any more of the things I was looking for and just got up and left. From reading up on NETTS that $50 is those guys bonus pay so they try to just hustle as many people to fill out the application and collect the money and then you'll never hear from them again. While you get doped into a unneeded 6 months of training which half is spent in class watching driving movies like you did in driver's ed.
