I couldn't speak any higher for this program and its owner, Bill and all of the trainers and staff. Not often you have a family type atmosphere in a school and this is what you get at Interstate.

I came into this truck driving school program with no background of trucking, and let alone knowing how to operate a truck/ semi that is. I completed the program in about six weeks of repetition/practicing and showing up to the school to study. There's nothing like hands on and actually seeing and practicing/pre trip on a real truck. I know you hear hard work will pay off, it's true but seriously you have to come into this program with a mind set of I can attitude. Tips from me to you study your pre trip like seriously pre-trip is everything and you will have to learn this let alone you need to know this material in everyday life of trucking.

You need to memorize your pre trip to even operate a tractor trailer with any company regardless. So you guys/ gals are wondering was it worth it, the answer is yes every cent. This facility has wonderful instructors through out the place. Also, great people to help you soon as you walk in those doors Clint/or Josh are so funny and most of all everyone there wants to see you graduate with your CDL class A license. Thank you guys for the wonderful experience and learning that I gain, I'm so grateful.

This a great school for getting your CDL. They don't rush you through the process and make sure you are a truly safe and professional driver. This school is worth every penny especially since truck drivers are in high demand.

The instructors at Interstate Truck Driving School were great. Extremely knowledgeable and always willing to explain things so you can understand them. I was able to pass my road test on the first try. I will recommend them to anyone looking to enter a career in truck driving

If you aren't a corporate student client they will sidetrack your training hours and you will wait for months to get enough instructor led training. It can be 2-3 months before you get into the driver's seat of a tractor trunk on the road. They have too many students and the feedback is internal within the school and you are not given adequate feedback. You could spend your 100 hours on their campuses and never get into the driver seat of a class A truck therefore its only the pretrip inspection you can study independently. 120 students on either of their campuses and 5 instructors, 5 trucks. Over the last 2 years I have met dozens of students from Interstate that never got into a truck seat to learn let alone take the road test.

Interstate is a very professional school! I learned a lot. I went for my class B license finished in 3 months while juggling a lot of other responsibilities. The more you put in the more you get out. Learn your pre-trip and that's more than half of the battle. Go to campus early and often!
