I liked that I was taught by truckers with over 20 years of experience. You get some cool stories in down time. The school prepped me well to pass each and every test the state required to get a CDL.

My husband needs to obtain his CDL soon. I was helping him find a school and called Southwest to learn the specific schedules they offer since the website doesn’t list them. I was transferred to Brad. He was very rude and would answer YEP and NOPE for everything. I asked about the weekend classes and he sighed as if giving me information was an issue to explain. Either that’s how much they care to certify paying customers or management just really sucks. Brad, you should be replaced by someone helpful! You must really hate your job! I hung up and will be spending our 5k elsewhere.

The class size alone makes this place awesome, go to any other school and you’ll maybe get 30 minutes of drive time if you’re lucky, at southwest only 4 to a truck. I had Kevin as my driving teacher and Bob as my classroom teacher and the whole experience was great from beginning to end.

How many people usually in each class? Is it a big or smaller facility?

danielle Sims | Jan 9, 2022
Say Ray | Jan 9, 2022

The maximum I believe is 16-20. The actual building facility is not all too big but since they also store the trucks there obviously the outside space has to be pretty large.

How can I reach you guys through email? What’s y’all email address.

Kevin Sanchez | Nov 5, 2021
Victoria Young | Nov 5, 2021

Good Morning Sir/Maam My name i shivasailam & i'm from india. I am currently a bca student & my main moto is to become truck driver what are requirements. & please also recommended the cost to be paid & how much year the truck course is. Thank You

ShivaSailam Somasundaram | Nov 5, 2021
Erik Thompson | Nov 5, 2021

I strongly suggest you give them and perhaps a few other schools a call. Over the age of 21. More than a year of driving history. Clean(ish) drive record for the last 3-5 years. Background check will be conducted. Drug test will be required. Most urine, however one of them require a hair follicle test which goes back further. These requirements differ from state to state. What I've told you is for AZ. Get with a school recruiter for specifics. It's $5k if you got it like that. If you finance it's $7k plus interests. Most companies you work for will have educational tuition reimbursements. These fees are for both SW and Roadmaster School which is just down the street. Depending on your credit you may be able to start with no deposit going up to $1,500 at the most with RM...$2,500 at SW. I wish you much success on your future endeavors.

Hi, thank you for asking this question! The cost of obtaining your class B CDL depends on how many hours of training you need. Please contact our office to speak with an Admissions Representative and he/she will help you determine what level of training you need!

Is the class guaranteed passEd???

Jimmy Robles | Nov 6, 2019
Joseph Quinonez | Nov 6, 2019

No. I am a current student. You take several test, and have to pass the CDL permit test by the end of the first week and you take the CDL Driver test at the end of the training and have to pass that. If you don't, you can retest or sometimes you have to retake the class itself. It's a lot of information to retain and you may feel overwhelmed but the instructors are very helpful and supportive
