Training Class - That State Up North

The class started at 8:00 which meant we left the house at 5:00. Fun. Cold and dark. Judy drove, and planned on spending the day hanging out at the local McDonald's and getting some computer work done.

The class was really helpful, and there really is a "flow" of how to do the pre-trip. Lots of things to remember, but I think I'll be ok. The driving skills portions we easy for me, but hey, I've driven before. Like riding a bike. Judy worries more about passing this sections of the test, but she really is an excellent driver. I don't think she will have to worry.

Oh, and there really isn't any suspension to speak of in the training truck they have. Thought I was going to hit the ceiling a few times. And with the wonderful condition of the Michigan highways. Yikes.

All-in-all, class was pretty good, especially the pre-trip portion. For someone who has never driven, it would prove helpful, but you might want to try to gain some additional driving experience somewhere along the way. I don't know I would recommend anyone who has never driven before try to pass the test with only taking this class. At least rent a U-Haul truck before hand to get a little "on the road" experience.

We were finished by 2:30.
