Thomas Built Buses Training is coming up in Reno Nevada, July 11-13.
Pretty sure you could go to the Thomas Built Buses website and get all the info.

Im planning on being there for this one. Though I heard they arent holding it at the Grand Sierra so it looks like we wont be bolwing or go cart racing, but Im sure theyll have some other festivities planned. And the training was good too. |

I would recommend Allison training if yo can get it. The transmissions itself are so reliable, any problems I have come across so far are speed sensors, internal harness and chassis wiring. Early 2000 series changed a few NSBU switchs but none in recent years. So easy to check and pinpoint problem when you have an understanding.
Any training on your engines would be helpfull too. Not sure how it works in your area, but around here we get training from a dealer or the manufacturer but it sounds like it may be different in your area? |

| The Thomas training in Reno is a good one to go to. The classes are pretty in depth and have good info. They are still having it at the The Grand Sierra, so I still see go carts in the future! I will going to it too. |

also my salesman clarified, Thomas is staying at the Grand Sierra, the bus trade show is at the peppermill I think. He said they would provide transportation to and from. |

| Right on, you think they would clarify that on the website. Are you doing the HDX or C2 class? |
