Your 'instructor', the one in the photo's with an yellowish orange shirt on, let one of his students hit a truck and instead of being a decent human being, he tried to drive off, then he started calling the driver horrible names and said he would get beat up. This is unprofessional as it gets. He literally taught his students to drive off if they hit something, and when they're stopped, act like a bigot and call people filthy names.

Finally a CDL Training School close to home. Hopeful and looking forward to signing up for CDL training after the holidays. I hear a lot of good things about this company. Especially over CR England and Swift.
