Choosing a school to get my Class A CDL took time because I wanted the right place. After speaking with several schools, the thing that stood out most about CDL Trucking Inc. was their one-on-one training and the fact that the cost was about half of what many other schools charge. From my very first phone call with Mickey, I knew this place was different. You could hear the smile in her voice. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and always willing to answer questions—even months before I started the program. My trainer Phil was extremely knowledgeable and patient. The pre-trip training at first was overwhelming, and there were moments where I doubted myself. But the staff constantly encouraged me and reminded me to trust the process. I even had the opportunity to spend time learning from Berick, the owner, who took time out of his schedule to help me understand the system better. What I respect most about this school is they don’t just hand you a license—you earn it. On my first test day, I passed my pre-trip and parking but failed my road test due to lane control. Instead of giving up on me, they encouraged me to come back and try again. Today, March 10, I returned, took my road test again, and passed. The best feeling was finally getting to ring the bell. It took me eight days to earn my CDL, and I’ll never forget the experience. Thank you to Mickey, my trainer Phil, Berick, the examiner, and the entire staff for believing in me. If you’re thinking about getting your Class A CDL, I highly recommend CDL Trucking Inc. Their facility is clean, organized, and they truly care about their students’ success. Read Less

I've been stuck in the same industry for over 10 years and finally decided it was time to get my CDL-A. This school made my dream possible. They provide excellent 1 on 1 training, making sure you're truly ready for anything that might come your way. Everyone is super personable and accommodating. They work around your needs and schedule. A word of advice: Go to pre-trip inspection every day, write things down, and really listen to the real life stories about why it's so important. Be ready to hit the ground running from day one. There's no wasted time. They throw you right into the seat off the bat. Grab the wheel, open your ears, and success will follow. Thank you to everyone at CDL Truck School for giving me the right mindset and real confidence behind the wheel of any tractor trailer they throw at me! Read Less

I got both my automatic only and finally my manual transmission class a cdls here. I also took the pre trip inspection class a few times and 4 hours of backing lessons. Ryan was my instructor for every class I took. His instruction and tips helped me to pass my exams. Don't sign up for the exam until you know the pre trip inside and out, can parallel park without thinking twice, and can drive a combo vehicle in heavy traffic safely. Only take the exam when you know you will pass. If you only think you'll pass, you probably won't. I'd recommend taking the pre trip class 10 times, taking 4-6 hours of backing classes, and 6-10 hours of shifting classes if you're starting from scratch and know nothing about driving a combo vehicle. I'm very happy with what I learned at CDL Truck School. Read Less

Great place to get your CDL. Also great place to get it quick then going to other schools paying thousands of dollars. But if you don't know how to drive a manual make sure you practice a lot. This is not like a normal school where you take your time, cause time costs money and you will be spending a lot of money if you need more time. They teach you the pre trip and the 3 back up tests and the road test. Classes are usually early mornings. Before learning the pre trip and everything you must need to have your permit. They have some books to help you as well if u didn't get it yet. Also if you practice and take your test in a automatic truck you will be restricted and can't drive a manual. If you test in a manual you will not be restricted.But if your new to this and don't know anything. I suggest a different school. If you wanna learn like every thing. Like backing it was my first time and the guy got frustrated with me. I didn't like that. After that they switched me instructors. Read Less

I had recently graduated from a Class A CDL program in Maryland.   Unfortunately I failed my first skills test in I had failed my alley dock test in DC and was about to lose out on a job opportunity as I had limited time to retest in DC (no openings at DMV for another month). I had a friend who had previously done the school in Phoenix and recommended it to me as soon as he knew of the situation I was in.   The difference between the staff/instruction between the institutions was night and day.  Justus was able to accommodate my girlfriend and I in a pinch.    The instruction we learned at the school (week long) was far superior to what we had received in Maryland (three week).  Justus helped me out with my skills and I had them down in no time, his instruction helped me grasp all the concepts needed to be successful.   In regards to my shifting methods and what I had learned in Maryland, I was very rough (missing/grinding gears).  Michelle pulled me aside and broke it all down for me into the simplest of terms and everything clicked for me.  My shifting was so poor when I arrived in Arizona I felt compelled to settle for an "automatic" restriction.   Her instruction was an eye opener and I'm so thankful and greatful for what she did to help me in my career.   The instructors genuinely care for the success of their students.   Nothing but good things to say about this company/staff.   Thank you.

The only problem with this school is one employee ( I hope it is just one employee). I have been sending my employees to this school to get their licenses for a few years now. I can tell you that I haven't really had any problems until this morning. I called to schedule one of my employees some time to take a few pretest classes and the CDL driving test. The guy who called me back was the rudest person I have come across in a long time. Saying stuff like listen to what I'm telling you and take your business somewhere else. So I did hear him and go somewhere else with my business. If you guys are look for professional service try these guys phoenixtruckdrivinginsti…. No I do not work for them but if I'm paying for a service I have to demand some respect and a little courtesy. Do spend your money with people who don't respect you. Read Less

Make sure you get everything thing in writing, the guy at the front desk talks fast and doesn’t explain everything. If you ask him a question he roles his eyes and will ask you what you are talking to him for and is extremely sarcastic, his name is Justice and he’s in charge of the place. I talked to 2 other customers of theirs in the yard and they said the same thing, they said he’s not a nice guy. I also heard him leave a very rude voicemail for a customer. No surprise he carries a hand gun on his waist. They want you to spend way more than just the $75 for the class and $225 for the test. You have a good chance of failing because it’s all about saying exactly what your examiner wants to hear you say.....it’s all individual preference. Expect to pay more like $500. Read Less

This truck school was great. I took a 1 hour trailer backing class and my instructor was awesome! He was extremely patient and knew how to teach. I'm convinced he is the reason I passed my road test for my cdl. Thank you Read Less

Excellent place to get your CDL goals accomplished. One week after successfully testing out I was hired as a driver for a local company based in Phoenix. Thank you to Michelle and Ricky! You guys are awesome! 👍 Read Less

Very informative and very helpful people that seem to care whether you pass or fail. I'm not young and I am a female and I passed with flying colors and they are very helpful and informative in order to get you where you need to be. Read Less

It is the fastest way to get your CDL but you wont get a truck driving job with any one after your Graduate here periode, if your looking to get a truck driving job and you got your class A permit, dont come here, go to C.R.England and learn how to drive trucks, not here because you'll never get any OTR experience and it's just a waste of money here. C.R.England training programs is lot cheaper than here and you get to drive a newer freightliner instead of the crappy old Peterbult, and Internationals. Read Less

Well I have been in class 5 days in a row for the pre-trip inspection and two more days and I test .I am feeling much more confident and happy with the morning classes for pre-trip inspection with Michelle. Sitting and watching the instructors with the students for the backing skills testing and the road test I see they really care about the students so I'm very happy with CDL TRUCK SCHOOL. Read Less

Old equipment, pushy trainers if you don’t sign up for their full training. Seriously, who double clutches anymore? Not impressed at all. Glad I paid minimal and taught myself. Had my CDL in 5 days. Years later, still accident free and ticket free. Read Less

Outstanding way to get prepared for getting a Class A license. They teach you what you need to know and work on those parts you struggle with. They care about your interest in having a CDL and do all they can to help. If you don't succeed, it is on you and not them. I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in trucking. Read Less

I recommend anyone that is looking to get their CDL this is a good place to come do the road test. Did their pre- trip class. I was taught everything that I needed to know for a pre-trip. Staff are well experienced. No complaints. Read Less

Everyone there is very knowledgeable and very helpful if you don't understand something don't be afraid to ask if you don't pass or succeed it's it's your own fault for not asking questions love the place love the people Read Less

I was in need of a class b cdl. I was recommended this place from other coworkers. I took the pre trip class and the road test here. They are thorough yet easy to understand in their instruction. Thanks to them I passed. Read Less

I highly recommend taking the Pre-trip inspection class. I had my CDL once before and forgot a lot of the necessary inspection components. I was a nervous wreck before starting the overall test. Michelle was extremely professional, courteous, and a huge help in calming my nerves. There are a few other places for CDL testing but I recommend this one. Read Less

I wasn't sure how to just write my question but I need someone to tell me when I can register the installer at my company, the cost, and how the classes work, I am hoping I can do it ASAP, I have tried contacting the school multiple times over the past 2 weeks and haven't gotten an email or a call back, which is frustrating, but, I am hoping posting on here might get me at least some answers. Please help. Thanks. Read Less

Very good school. I registered for the 7 day class. Staff was very informative and showing up to pre-trip class for 4 days in a row helped a lot. Scott Campbell was my instructor and was very knowledgeable about driving habits and teaches you step by step on how to back up, parallel park and driving skills for the road.  Passed my driving test on the eighth day.    Take your time and study. And most of all, listen to all the info your instructors  tell you. It will help a lot. Read Less

Best experience you could ask for....Polite and helpful staff. They didn't try to sell me what I didn't need. You can tell that they have been doing this a long time! I would highly recommend this business to anyone looking to get their CDL. Weather you're new to the business or trying to get your licence back, this is the place! Read Less

I've had to come back to this business multiple times because I didn't listen to their advice the first time. Not only did they take care of me as a veteran but their way of teaching is very easy to understand and put in to practice. Absolutely the best way to go if you need your CDL. Read Less

Eric Martin Well I tested with Scott today for my Commercial DL.. HIP HIP HOORAY ! Task completed! I highly recommend this CDL Program to those who want detailed in depth training. This school house very talented instructors , with a very creative technique for training. Individual training ( one on one) no standing around in groups burning up the so called observation hours just to appease so many companies that require mandatory hours of education...lol what a joke!. Then have the nerve to tell you whats accredited and whats not. However in very thankful for having Harold as a Trainer.. A true professional , he never rushed me or engaged in short cuts! Thankyou.
