Apparently this truck driving school doesn't like to teach new students how to stop at red lights along 82 and 83. If you are a person wanting to learn how to drive trucks and receive your CDL, I highly recommend you pass this school by and move on to the next school! Otherwise you probably won't have your CDL very long.

great place top take your cdl course. a bit packed but as long as you don't sit around and watch other people drive the trucks you will learn something I passed my Class A CDL test first try highly recommend this school instructors was amazing especially TONY!!! but i got along with all of them they will walk you thru each maneuver and if your having troubles they will help you along the way they will joke with you and talk to you like a normal person instead of talk to you like an instructor as long as you pay attention and stay off your phone and participate you will not have any issue passing what so ever

I just graduated today with my CDL B (the class was only 4 days). Jim is a GREAT instructor , very patient , knowledgeable, kind and funny. I would recommend him and this school to anyone. Thank you Jim for teaching me what I know in a short period of time and it was truly a pleasure working with you‼️

Questions & Answers

What the pass rate do they really teach you what you need to know??

KING B | Apr 11, 2021

Your pass rate depends on you and how well you absorb new information. This is an individual sport your success depends on how dedicated you are and how much work you put in. People pass and fail for different reasons. What I can say is they teach you exactly what you need to know to obtain your cdl. Come to school everyday, show up on time, ask questions; if you don't understand, study in your spare time, and do not give up. If you do all of those things the chances that you will be successful is high.

I am a chapter 31 veteran in the vocational rehab program. In order for the department of veterans affairs to pay for my training, it must be accredited. Is your school an accredited program? Please contact me for more details.

Does this school provide lodging for training?

Gloria Hill | Feb 10, 2021
Zach Brown | Feb 11, 2021

They do provide rooms but you will be sharing a room with someone else unless you want a single room but it's like $425 extra per month. The lodging is at an extended stay hotel about 12 minutes from the school. I am currently in the school right now but I'm not lodging as I'm to close to the school
