International Trucking Academy - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Dec 2023

I enrolled in this school in August 2023. The owner told me I could be trained and obtain a CDL with no manual transmission restriction. Hard to do when there are no manual transmission trucks to train or test in. They gave me the run around and tried to get me to test in an automatic transmission truck for over 3 months after I paid them $5,000. I ended up attending 160 Driving Academy in South Bend for 1 week. It cost me another $2,500, but they got me my CDL with no manual transmission restriction. Stay far away from International Trucking Academy if they are even still in business.

The employer didn’t pay my fiancé . My fiancé is still waiting on his last check and it’s been about 2 months, the owner’s bank won’t cash it and the guy won’t return his messages now. Just an fyi… It just wasn’t him having issues getting paid. Maybe he will use the same excuse next time like the state is holding the funds or the banks are holding funds, blah, blah, blah…. On Fridays the owner was Houdini and wouldn’t be around to pay employees and my fiancé would get excuses from the office manager. So if you’re a new student I would be careful investing your financial aid or even 1,000.00 towards this company or owner.

The owner Anthony Perry stiffed some of its employees of their last paychecks. Claimed to repay them but no longer answer his messages. Truck companies came in and reposed their trucks that students needed to obtain their CDL licensed. He claimed there was a recall. When employees paychecks were bouncing then the owner lied about that and mysteriously would not be around on Fridays when employees were to be paid. If the employer can't pay its employees you should be very careful where you invest your financial aid.
