Scam. They are not a school, it's for people that already knows how to drive trucks and just need the signature. I went in and they said if you know how to drive a stick shift you know how to drive a truck. Gene took me on my "lesson" I went to drive and did not know how, he screamed at me and said we are going back to the school. I never returned, they never gave my money. He don't like woman and he will make you pay extra for it, or fail you on purpose. Read Less

I wish negative stars were a thing because one star is too many for this school! Be prepared that if you go here you could be audited by the DMV and out of 22 students chosen for audit from this school, the first 8 to go so far have all failed. So obviously this school does not train properly, they will pass you just so they get their money. Oh and if you go down to ask the owner Gene any questions or even want copies of your paperwork you signed, be prepared to be told to get off his property very rudely! Also if you are a female he will not even acknowledge you are talking to him so make sure you have a male to talk for you. Gene is a very chauvinistic unprofessional rude person. This school will waste your money and time, I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! Read Less

Went to this school a few years ago. Got my Class A in a week. I did nothing but study all day every day and was honest with Gene about my abilities and past of driving Tow Trucks and boat trailers. Yes he is very strict but he is also very honest. You will learn how to drive a truck and trailer and if I screw up I can end other drivers lives that are on the road around me. So he wants to make sure that I understand that. I had no problem with his rules. Yes they would sit me down in front of a tv to watch videos and then do a test but it works if you are willing to study. This is the real world you want something you will need to work for it, they do not just give you the license beacuse you paid him money. I stopped driving for a few years and want to get my License back and will be going backk to see Gene to accomplish it. Great place for a great price. Well worth it in my opinion. Just be ready to work and study hard! Read Less

Beware!! They seem nice and cheap but get you for a ton of fees after all is said and done. There were fees that didn't even belong there. Read the contract VERY CAREFULLY! This is good if you just need to take the test but not to actually learn. The instructor will leave you for great lengths of time by yourself and say "just practice " but they haven't actually taught you to do it and keep in mind..they will keep you there for hours on end but you are paying per hour, which you will get billed for in the end. The women in the office were very nice though. Read Less

I called a few minutes ago. Their main number prompts you to call one of two cell phones. I called one and a man answered stating the school’s name. He asked me if I gave massages. Then, said I could practice at his house! I am incredibly embarrassed. I hope no women are greeted that way at this school. As a former educator I am embarrassed. I hope he was not an instructor. I have never been treated with such disrespect by a school. Read Less

I actually had some fun going through A1. Big difference from the shake-n-bake schools. You'll see the difference if you go OTR. Try to stay away from the training companies.

You can read the comments on google regarding Gene and his school, or just call up and get the full experience for yourself. I called Gene's personal cell # after getting no answer at "the office" except a machine asking to call him directly.  So Gene answers the phone and, as I am introducing myself he blurts out "make it quick because I'm with a student".  I figure, hell he's a trucker so can't expect much in the way of graces, but no problem.  Then I ask if there is a better time to call back and ask about his program.  He says "no, let's do this.  What do you want to know?"   The rest of the conversation lasted 30 seconds and consisted of Gene telling me to "get my ass down there today (Tues) and I'd have a license by Monday", explaining how he's the cheapest school in town and that if I want any more information I need to show him the money, ($1000 deposit on a $1800 CDL course).  I did try to ask about other aspects of Gene's "Driving School", like whether he offers any help with job placement and he promptly informed me that he "doesn't care about any of that shit, and that if I want to know anything else I need to show up with some money".  Then when I reiterated that I was asking about whether he  helps his students connect with trucking companies, he proceeds to fire off with "let me guess, you don't have any money?"  And follows that up with "are you one of those gov'ment handout people?"  At that point, my redneck patience meter was maxed out, so I told him that if he couldn't answer simple questions about his school in a professional manner, perhaps he was unfit to train others to be professionals. Anyway, Gene is obviously running a license mill and could care less about training his students to be professional and courteous commercial drivers, as his personal example says it all. Don't waste your time with this bozo! Read Less

If your not willing and able to be subjected to a full on interrogation by Gene (owber/instructor). Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Amongst an array of many other personal questions, Gene then probes me to find out if I had anything to do with a drug raid that happened down the street from where my parents live some years back. He goes further by asking questions about my parents and where they work as if THEY may have had some affiliation with the incident. I then ask the relevance of all these personal questions. He tells me that I don't need to worry why he's asking, I just need to answer or I can hit the door. WTF!? haha!!. Naturally, I leave. So....I'd like to drop this "thank you but no thank you" single golden star. STAY AWAY, you've been warned. Read Less
