I’m proud to say that I passed my CDL exam few days ago !!!!
A huge thank you to everyone at Columbia Truck Driving School for their amazing support, patience, and professionalism throughout my training. From day one, the owners, office staff, and instructors made me feel welcome and gave me the confidence I needed to succeed.
The instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, and truly care about helping every student pass and become a safe, confident truck driver. The atmosphere at the school is positive, supportive, and stress-free, which makes learning much easier.
The test route is very straightforward and well chosen, making the experience much less stressful for students who are prepared. The school does an excellent job of getting you ready for both the exam and your future career.
I highly recommend Columbia Truck Driving School to anyone who wants to earn their CDL and start a career in trucking. If you're looking for professional training, great instructors, and a team that genuinely wants you to succeed, this is the place to be.
Thank you again to the entire Columbia Truck Driving School team for helping me achieve this important milestone!
Thank you;

Awesome driving school!! I was recommended here through a friend who also graduated from same driving academy. I still did research before signing up to compare prices and peoples experiences and I’m glad I chose Columbia! I got the chance to work with 3 of their instructors and although their teaching ways are different, the goal is the same for all, get you graduated! Their payment plan, schedule arrangement worked perfectly with my schedule. They have a lot of recruiters come to their school to help you get a job as soon as you graduate. Mr Roman and Ms Ana also very helpful individuals! Would definitely pick Columbia again if I needed too!

I recently just graduated from Columbia truck driving school and I have to say I had a very great experience there the teachers are very thorough with their teaching and the were very helpful with clarifying things that people may not understand i would recommend any one to COLUMBIA TRUCK DRIVING SCHOOL. They are really great people who are willing to work with you they are very flexible with peoples work schedules and they really care that you obtain your goal in which you are trying to reach. I didn't know how to drive a stick shift at all thanks to this school I feel like a pro at it not. So have no fear they will go over EVERYTHING there is to know about the truck and I say with confidence that anyone will become professional truck drivers.

Terrible service now....... this place was very nice when manage and own by Hispanics, this place was bought out by Polish people whom are disrespectful and will cheat you out of your cdl hours if you are Black. A young lady who is short wears glasses very petitie and has a thick polish accent refused too refund me my money even when I disagree with the terms and even though I hadn't even started the class, they have too give you a schedule first then you're in the program I waited 2 weeks and she wouldn't let me start her answer was I needn't to pay her $700 every week after the initial $300 down payment and my paycheck every week totaled only $500. I tried to contact her on the date she requested only to find out she took a trip to Europe. Beware if you are an African-American you are not welcome.
