“The instructors are great. You couldn't ask for any better people to learn from. Alot of knowledge & history they have in the trucking industry. But the equipment needs to be updated. For the past month I've been trying to get my cdl test in & passed & both test dates the trucks have been down. I was supposed to went March 17th and March 31st today. There needs to be another alternative when this happens. Maybe a rental truck on standby or even better, get better equipment. This is frustrating knowing I'm ready to take my cdl test & pass.”
