Worst school ever don't wate waste your time or money. I started with this school in late January for the first week we sat around doing nothing. Second week the truck broke down and they don't know when it will be fixed. I eventually went and got my money back cause every excuse they were giving was unacceptable and i still ended up losing out over 1200 dollars cause i didn't get my full refund. I went to a school in st Louis to get my cdl

Great school, great instructors. All 11 of us that started, we all said, we're all passing at the same time, NO MAN LEFT BEHIND! The instructors taught us the drills, assisted us all the way to the end. We sharpened and encouraged one another, and not only 11, but 1 extra who failed a few times before us, ended up passing with our class as well. Big shout out to this guy Adam, Dan, Bobby, Paul bka "Fred" if he owe you some money LOL, and Mr. Ron. A GREAT TEAM makes GOOD DRIVERS!

I went here in 2016 around Sep- Oct. I hated staying at the Econo Lodge, but these country boys know what theyre doing. Dont over talk the instructors and take what you're doing serious. I loved every part of the experience! These guys were some real characters! Thanks to the school teachings & my ambition of course. I now own my own truck
