About Shippers' Choice - CDL Training School
Shippers' Choice CDL Training School offers a comprehensive CDL training program in Virginia. The training combines classroom instruction with hands-on experience in driving trucks on a dirt range. Students typically complete the program in around 20 days. The school features experienced instructors, with many students praising their patience, knowledge, and dedication. Notable instructors include Dexter, Rachel, and John, who made sure everyone received enough seat time despite large class sizes. While the training environment is somewhat unorganized and the facility is considered run-down, students found the training adequate for learning and preparation. The trucks used for practice are manual and handle differently, which can be challenging during practice and testing. Some students mentioned that the organization and equipment can be inconsistent, but with effort, success is possible. A student shared appreciation for Jose, who provided support and guidance throughout the training. His patience and helpfulness made the process smoother and less stressful, fostering confidence for starting a career. Students also noted that passing all three sections of the test on the first attempt reflected both their efforts and the school's efforts. However, concerns about the signing process exist, as students sign on an iPad without reviewing full documents, which can lead to feelings of manipulation and pressure to test before being fully prepared.
Shippers choice is a great option for someone who wants to get their commercial drivers license. I will tell you right now, that if you have absolutely no experience and no drive to take an initiative to learn, don’t go here. This school is for those of us who are serious about getting our license. They have instructors there that each offer something different. They have a curriculum they follow, but each and every instructor brings something to the table of value. I’m a commercial driver of over 20+ years and a trainer. I had a class b license and with the change in federal law back in 2022, it meant I had to go to a school to upgrade to a class a. After reading...read full review
