*********************************************
The above includes: classroom lectures, power point presentations, videos and diagrams on the white board. Mostly everything we are being taught contains all the information that you learn from your CDL manual. This repetition reinforces learning. Also, we have been keeping a drivers log every day to document all of our activities. This is a great leaning technique.
So far, I continue to be impressed with Millis and the training program and very pleased with my instructor (Greg). He is highly competent, knowledgeable, 23 years experience, personable, good sense of humor, patient etc. I am having lots of fun in this training enviornment.
Lodging is more than adequate, one or two to a room, clean and serviceable accommodations, pool, TV with cable including HBO, phone, dialup internet access, free continental breakfast.
Local area (Cartersville, GA) is nice and is convenient for shopping, eating out etc.
Y’all take care,
Charles
