We paid 5000 to join this so called CDL school. And I've been screwed ever since.

they told they would pay for my permit and dot physical and drug screen, that's about 175.00 that I had to pay on top 5000 for the course. some stuff happened in the family, a death, they said they would refund me. Haven't seen anything. They said I can restart the course.

But can't get ahold of anyone.

Can't get on the site to do the classes. I'm pissed

Positive experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I took a certified program at the school, 160 hours of training. They had me hired with 4 companies during my fist week.

They helped me arranged financing for the program, which my employer paid back for me. I've been working for over 2 years now, and I earn $80k a year - that's a real improvement over the $8.25 an hour I was making before. the staff works hard, and sometime other student put unreasonable demands on them, when it was their problem for not studying and being professional. Honestly, everything went exactly as the representative explained it.

This was a great program that changed my life. I highly recommend this school. This was a great program that changed my life. I highly recommend this school.
