    Its one of the schools Superior Carriers will hire out of. We have actually donated equipment to them.

    I've seen 3 Superior Carriers tankers drive past the school in less than a week.

    How are you liking it?
    I actually drove up there last week and met with Mr Chambers and the staff. They were extremely generous with their time and really friendly.
    Made up my mind that's where I'm going. Started the admittance process and the Compass thing. Will be back up there starting Tuesday to scope out a place to stay and get more familiar with the area.
    I'll be there through the 23rd for enrollment process so maybe we can meet then.

    Hi Rob,
    I think you had mentioned the donated equipment in one of your earlier posts and that's what put the school on my radar.
    I'm actually hoping to get on with Superior. As I understand it the terminal manager in Greer (or is it Duncan?) takes graduates if they are at the top of the class.
    I'm going to enroll and work my tail off make that happen.

    I've read all of your posts on the Superior threads and quite honestly they have been the reason I'm going this route.

    You are right. It's Greer. Back when I coached swimming we had a lot of meets at the Middle Tyger Y in Duncan. I had a brain fart.

    Yes, but it's weird that they are driving around the Donaldson Center. It's nowhere near the highway. I assumed they were advertising.. Either way, it's awesome to hear the instructors 'talk up' the company, then walk outside and see their trucks..

    So far, it's been challenging but awesome. Reese is running the daytime course and he's just as ###### as Chambers. I'm pretty sure the two of those guys know just about everyone on the planet.
    Demanding course but the instructors I've dealt with have made it enjoyable.
    It's the best $1,000 I've spent in a long time, for sure.

    I agree those guys really are into doing a #### good job. They spent like an hour talking to me and answering questions and I just walked in off the street with no appointment. A very pleasant and informative time.
    The course does sound intense at least the first 2 weeks worth. Did you come in with your CDL Permit?
    The cost is awesome for a 9 week day class, right? SC Lottery doing good things there.

    Maybe I'll see you this week, will be there sometime Tuesday.
    Be well study hard and good luck,
