[QUOTE="Tim., post: 1160462, member: 18555"] I went to driving school back in Feb 2012, in J-ville. Our instructor was Shelly. Real nice lady, very laid back. We stayed in the Fairfield Inn on Airport Rd, which is about 15 mins from the school/hub. Great thing about J-ville was you could eat at Ruby Tuesdays, Zaxbys and 1 other place, tell them who you are and UPS paid for dinner (she made prior arrangements). She asked to keep it about $15.00. If not, save your receipts. Of course, you cant claim it for reimbursement. We went to BWW the night before school started, which was Super Bowl (Giants/Pats) and I drank to much. We went again Thursday night to celebrate, again, I drank to much. As far as the class, we didnt do our 5 seeing habits and 10pt commentary until Tuesday. We drove around the hub on Wed with Shelly. Then a group of 7 went with some guy from Orlando, out in the city. He drove 1st, explained what he wanted to be done and said, then everyone got a chance to drive. It is very stressful doing the 5 and 10 (word for word) and the 2 minute thing-a-ma-jigaroo. He grades you and tells you what you need to work on. Thursday is the driving test, 2 groups. Same stuff. Friday was a half day and Shelly bought Subway for the class. Word of advice, know your stuff before you get there. Practice the 2 minute do-hicky while driving your own car and try to learn the DIAD a little before you leave(punching in and out, vehicle and mileage, deliveries and pickups, cod's and info notices). I was done with the DIAD Wed morning, some people were still finishing on Friday. Nobody failed, but 2 people should have. I was paid cover driver pay, but I we had previous people who went and were paid air pay. Good luck, hope this helps and enjoy! [/QUOTE]
