What Students in Suffern Are Saying

“With everything that I had to go through to obtain my Class A CDL from the online course to the yard training and even the multiple tests that had to be done. I will say with the utmost confidence that this school will provide any student with proper training, but it ultimately comes down to yourself. From the beginning on the yard with Bryan and Geno, I am very appreciative of the time spent learning, listening, and putting into practice what was mentored to me within my timeframe being with this school. Additionally, being able to witness other students succeed allowed me to fuel my passion for wanting to pass. The experience that I got from this school was the best I could have had. The ONLY issue I had was the wait time with some scheduling. And if I had to tell another student who is going to start/ wants to get their CDL. Please and I mean this dearly, listen with your eyes and ears. DO NOT and I repeat, DO NOT THINK THIS IS EASY! Go into this class eager and humble, and not cocky and ignorant. But with that being said, I am thankful to those who taught me, and for the effort that I put into myself. Good luck to everyone else on their journeys with this school, and the future to come. Thank you.”

“While I'm currently in the program, The instructors Bryan, Jason and Geno put safety first; with patient, clear instructions. These instructors get the classes ready for real life experience with applying their own stories to everyday CDL circumstances. They utilize their time in an appropriate manner.They highlight strengths and weaknesses and work with each student individually to make sure they succeed. I highly recommend this program for anybody wishing to get their CDL.”
