Shreveport 160 was a good choice for me to make for getting my CDL. Everything was great about the program except the actual training area. The yard was in terrible shape with large holes to avoid while trying to learn your maneuvers for your test. When it rained, there was entire sections you had to avoid to prevent getting the truck stuck. Along with the yard, some of the equipment was in bad shape due to bouncing around that yard so much. The standard trucks and the trailers were in pretty bad shape with bad air bags and air leaks. The yard make it harder for students to learn and made it harder for the instructors to do their jobs too. The sole yard instructor was great and made the school a better experience overall but, he needs help with the amount of students he had to manage. There should be at least two instructors to help with people in the automatic class and people in the standard class... Get that yard fixed and get the instructor some help to make this a way better experience for students.
