I took the 2 month course...I started at the end of September and got my Class A in December. The instructors were awesome because I had never driven anything with a manual transmission let alone a Rig with a sleeper but I will never forget my instructor telling me that I was gonna be his best student cause I didn't have any bad habits and he was right. My two other classmates who were in my group on road days...who also had previous commercial driving experience were struggling to double shift and down shift properly. Only things I did not like about the school is that I feel like they force you to work for a certain trucking company in order to graduate fully from the school and the yard equipment and road trucks are really out dated. I spent all my road days and my night driving in 9(A) speed and then when it was time to take my state test I was put in a 10 speed so I was all screwed up when it was time to shift to 6th gear but it all worked out. Thank You TDDS!!!!
