What Students in San Marcos Are Saying
“Daryl is an awesome instructor, very patient, with the students.”

“They try to force students through the program too fast. Not everyone is in a big hurry to get their CDL. They don't ask you when you want to take the driving exam. They tell you. There are not enough instructors out there to give you adequate training. You either pick it up quickly or else you're out. Don't expect much from these guys. Do your research before paying them. This program is not right for everyone.”
Mike K.
