The course started with Reid in the classroom, a very experienced trucker who shared his knowledge, a no-bs attitude,& taught us everything we needed to know to pass the test,&all of us did with high scores. Next was James, the superstar of ustds, I really lucked out working with this guy. Calm demeanor, professional& fun sense of humor, he ended up being the one teaching us backing.He's got that skill down to a science.Very encouraging, quick to analyze what went wrong& always has a way to fix it.I only got to work with Mark once but he's the one who made shifting click in my head.Mark has a lot of experience, also a calm demeanor, &when you have a question, find him &ask, he always has an answer.If I could pick any teammate to have on the road, it would be him.My final practice day I got to work with Johnnie, another rockstar of backing.These four men are the best. I watched the others &it's not lost on me that I lucked out getting the instructors I got, there was no sitting down on the course, being ignored for a cell phone, no missing an exit because of being pilled up & not paying attention, no having the instructor show up, decide not to work and just going home leaving the students to fend for themselves. Yes these things did happen to other students. I suggest corporate take a close look at those individuals as if I had been stuck with those, I'd have pitched a fit in the office every day until i no longer had to waste my time with them. Students are paying to learn, find people who will teach them. It also would not be a bad idea to get all the backing instructors on the same page. Use James & Johnnie's tried &true methods and stick to them, so as not to confuse students so they can pass their tests. Which bear in mind, this school's purpose, to teach you to pass the test. Being an experienced driver/backer/everything else will come with time & practice. So to wrap up this novel, James, Johnnie, Mark, &Reid should be given raises, it's the right thing to do
