I want to thank all the advisors and moderators on this site for sharing the knowledge that you earned while being out on the road.A huge thank you to Brett for creating and sharing this site.Thanks to everyone who asked a question.Even if it hasnt pertained to me yet, it might help me one day.I consider this an accomplishment and will work to retain all of the endorsements.This day and this journey has been on my list every since I was a child.I will still be viewing the site, as Iit has become a part of my life.

Congratulations Ben!

I am curious though, did you use the High Road Training Program to help you prepare for the exams?

Hi Ben, congratulations on getting your permit and setting off to school in July! I do hope you will keep a diary while in school and training with Millis as I am thinking about applying with them, but to attend their school in Trenton, OH. A lot of folks have shared their experiences from other schools, but I have yet to find one concerning Millis. Best of luck to you!
