This place is a puppy mill for cdl drivers the equipment is horrible, way over priced, and way to many people for a one class and not enough instructors. Only reason why it gets even one star is because the instructors are very knowledgeable but way over worked.

Tn truck driving school in Louisville is a joke and a waste of money and time they do not have enough instructors and do not have legal road worthy equipment. The road truck that you take your road test in when I was there a couple weeks ago had a air leak and you had to pull over and build air then start again was totally uncalled for. There was 20 of us in the class with 2 instructors and they expect you to set in the truck all day with no AC in 90 degree weather and then they will get on to you for standing in the shade so I do not recommend for anyone and not all but a few of the instructors was disrespectful and rude!
Also the trucks was nasty inside and out it look like they had never cleaned them or serviced then and the dust was so bad from the awful lot you have to drive on you could barely see through the mirrors so whoever sees this go to Tri city in Johnson city excellent people!

My husband graduated from Tennessee Truck Driving school and was going to work for a company called Skyline Transportation and they were going to be footin the bill for school for him. Well Skyline Transportation let him go after less than a month. Said that he was not learning their way to transport and now he is left owing the school $5,000! He is actively looking for a job driving and needed a copy of his certificate showing that he graduated from there.
In between all of this. He had a heart attack and he's just now trying to find employment. He couldn't f find his certificate so he called the school to see if they could email him a copy. They said, " no because you owe us money ". so they're really nice at first but please don't have a life altering set back because they'll throw you to the wolves!

There's only one instructor that I didn't care for but the rest are wonderful as a knowledgeable people. Whatever you think you know, forget. LISTEN to what they say because they really want you to do well and have no problem with keeping you there for a few more weeks to produce safe and knowledgeable drivers.

I just wanted to tell everyone if you want to go to any CDL school I suggest this one. Definitely a great staff and treats you like your family. Definitely wasn't a cake walk but they want any and everyone that comes through there to succeed. I definitely enjoyed my time met great people and if I could do it all over again I definitely would wake up at 2:30 on a Sunday and drive 3 hours away from home just to do it again. Thanks again Tennessee trucking school
