I had a great experience with this company. Mike and Brad were very knowledgeable and worked with me diligently to make sure I was prepared and able to pass my road test first try. Would recommend them to others.

If you're thinking about getting your AZ or DZ, stop scrolling and just go to Northstar Trucking School!
Huge thanks to my instructors Mike, Wayne, and Eddie. They somehow managed to teach me how to drive a giant truck without having a heart attack, and trust me, that deserves an award! They were patient, knowledgeable, hilarious, and always willing to answer even the questions I probably should've already known.
A big thank you to Liz and Ray as well. They kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes, always had the answers, and somehow managed to keep all of us organized. That's no small task! Also always present and encouraging us!
