I picked up techniques/tips from every one of them. It helped me in the end - One and Done CDL graduate on my first try. I have to give a special shoutout to Reuben for being the first instructor to take me on the road and taught me how to be a focused driver - always checking my mirrors constantly and teaching me the trick to make those sharp turns. Thank you Reuben, it all paid off in the end. Shoutout to Rick for having the patience with me especially in my skills and encouraging me that I can do anything if I put my mind to it. Mike, Blair and Louis - thank you! You all have been instrumental in helping me obtain my license. You guys rock!”
