sun prairie truck driving school -sun prairie,wi. My comment is this- if you want to pay almost 4 grand you are pretty much guaranteed a cdl but the accomadations suck and their way of teaching you how to back up is give about 2 minutes of help then you are on your own -instructors take off and b.s. in closing they suck. (my opinion)
Rocky Mountain Truck Driving School in Albuquerque, NM is, in my opinion, a SCAM. I was with an instructor who even asked me how he could remove 4 counts of domestic violence from his record. Needless to say he had no patience and if he took a dislike to you, like he did to me, he would not help you. If you make a mistake he takes you out of the drivers seat and puts in somebody else. Their trainers were truck drivers, but they don’t know how to teach. They say they have a 98% pass rate for students passing their CDL driving test, but that’s not what I saw. They promise a lot and don’t come through. Needless to say, I will be reporting them to the licensing agency for the state. They SUCK! (in my humble opinion)
Red Hook Commercial Driving School; Brooklyn, NY
Excellent friendly instructors, emphasis on getting the road test passed (train for the rest after test is passed), reasonably priced, good location with lots of narrow streets to practice on.
Stay away from Skyway Trucking school in Hesperia, California. They have old trucks which break down. One truck was down for 3 weeks. This left 30 students trying to use one truck for driving. There is no class room time. There is a class room, you can sit there, but there is not one teaching there. No training on log books, no training on new type of transmission. You will train on a split ten which is not even made any more. This was a waste of my time and money.
CR England delivered as promissed for me. I was one of the 12 students left out of 57 that started in the TX school. Three weeks later I had a TX CDL, and a job with England. Military background helped me enormously!
Coastal Truck Driving School in Opelousas, Louisiana is an excellent school for people that can attend in that area. The instructors are very professional and well educated in all phases of CDL Instruction. The on-campus living accomodations are very neat and clean. The Job Placement program is top-notch.
This comment looks as if it is coming from the staff at this school. It reads like an advertisement not a real review. I read reviews from truck drivers everyday and and am always amused when a review like this comes in!
the staff at C1 Truck Driving school in Little Rock, Arkansas is a joke. The Nurse Practicioner has an ego bigger than her little brain and does her best in weeding people out of the program. Can you please tell me how a Nurse can over rule what a cardiologists has sent to her on paper saying that you have been cleared from a cardiac standpoint. The entire staff is rude and not helpful at all. Would not recommend it to anyone.
Does anyone have anything on Roadmasters? I am thinking about going there, but I read the horror stories about the others and need to know before I waste the money. Thanks
Are all the school as bad as the post say they are?

I have recently finished my training at the Diesel Driving Academy in Sun Prairie, WI. I had enrolled for the two week program, but I failed my first two road tests since I am not very mechanically inclined. However, each time I failed the test, I was able to take an additional week of training at the school, and I only had to pay for the road test fee of $120.
Initially, I had one poor teacher, who was inexperienced, and he became upset with me, but my husband went down and complained, and they changed my teacher, to one who is incredible!
During the two extra weeks, they kept passing me around from teacher to teacher, and it was actually good for me, because I learned something important from each one. Each teacher at the school has at leat one or two decades experience driving a truck, and they could be making 4X the amount of money driving. But, all of the ones I asked, said that they are more than rewarded by the satisfaction they recieve from putting safe drivers on the road. (trust me;I’m not a company spy, but I have to say, I have never met a better group of teachers anywhere. And I have been to five different colleges!)
Now, I am going to be driving as a team with my husband, and I can honestly say that it was worth the $3000. How often can a person say that?

Central Tech – Drumright, OK. 23 day course – 4 1/2 weeks, M-F 7am -4:30pm. Cost $2,250 – twice that for out of state residents. Certified by PTDI. I just graduated, and overall it is an excellent school. Class size is under 15 – ours was 12 – and just two students to a truck. They had a complete, large paved course and the tractors were well maintained on site and only 10 yrs old or newer with many extra trucks available if needed. They were real over the road tractors with three axles and sleepers and the trailers were 48′ with the axles slid all the way back. All the trucks were 9 speeds. Classroom was maybe 1/3 of the class and concentrated mainly on logbooks and air brake system, with much of the textbook assigned as homework. We spent much time out on the course learning straight backing, 90 degree backing, offset backing, parallel parking, shifting, coupling, pre-trip inspection, etc. The instructors would demonstrate a particular skill and then let you work at it. You would be teamed up with a different classmate each day. There were always at least three instructors on the course to help if you were struggling. The written CDL test was on day 7 and the road CDL test was on day 15. (Two of our class failed the road test and were able to retake it on day 22 – both passed) We then took several road trips out on the real roads with loaded trailers including one at night. On day 22, we had to pass a skills test (mostly backing skills) and a road test to graduate from Central Tech which was harder than the CDL road test. Everyone passed. The only two negatives were our class was assigned 6 trucks and you were assigned a different one each day, and even though they all were the same year and model, each was a little different which you had to adjust to and you didn’t know which one you were going to test in. Also, the course moves very quickly – we were only in the trucks 12 days before our CDL drive test and we were done with the course after just 20 days in the trucks – obviously none of us felt that we had mastered truck driving in this time – that comes later with experience. I hope this helps, because I didn’t know what to expect when I first arrived at truck driver school!
