I graduated 04-16-2026, most instructors was fantastic. Like Mr.G, Mac , Augie,Brian and Shahara. Mr. G and Brian gonna help you make sure that your Pre-Trip is on point. Shahara,with that whistle gonna implant L.R.S.R.L in your whole being. And Mac gonna drive them skills (off-setting) all the way home for you. These is the people that made it happen for me,it’s other instructors there you just have to get a good feel for the ones that works for you.
I recently got my CDL from here, I want to first off thank each and every instructor for helping me and guiding me through each stage. You guys are amazing! I will say this, it will not be easy if you do not apply yourself at home daily and at the yard; have patience and trust the instructors, they will not steer you wrong. Don't be afraid to ask questions; remember stay calm no one is perfect.
