Student

My online instructor James was very thorough and enthusiastic. Had a great time in his class. Ms. Flores was great as well. Very enthusiastic and broke the material down in a way that was easy to understand.

Not flexible enough for most student's needs.

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.

Great instructors

The instructors at this CDL driving school are excellent — patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed. They do a great job explaining everything and making sure you’re confident behind the wheel. The only downside is that the equipment could use some improvement, a few of the trucks are not in the best condition. Overall, though, the quality of instruction more than makes up for it.
