Attended this school for my cdl after a sub-par experience with another school, and it was night and day. Ashley, Mike, Brad, Cliff, Lloyd and Manny gave me all the tools and information I needed to pass the driving portion of my test. The yard skills and pre trip are station based but each instructor gives you one on one attention to insure you understand your weaknesses to guarantee you'll be ready for your driving test if you put in the time.

I spent a week with this school and paid out of pocket and it was worth every penny. Brandon I appreciate the help on test day sir. Would recommend this school to anyone looking to get your class a cdl!

Had a great experience at Superior driving school. This place will only set you up for success. The lessons I had was very informative and helpful. I highly recommend the hour before the road test it helped me tremendously to pass my road test. My instructor Charlie was very patient, gave good road tips and was great at communicating. I highly recommend him! Thank you I appreciate all your help!

Worst staff, i was dying on the car from 9 am to 12:30. My husband took a class and they are not able to keep me for all that time. Even i told them i dont know how to drive plus to go back to my house is 50 miles away. They make me wait in the car, for more than 3 hours. I was dying because i didnt even have the key car to put air conditioner. AWFUL STAFF. THEY DONT VALUE A HUMAN LIFE.
