I’d recommend shippers choice for the following reasons. Expectations are clearly iterated from day one and reiterated throughout the 160 hours of classroom and range time. Ms. Logan was helpful with processing the money, cdl powersuite, and assigning the testing date. The director was clear in his expectations of range safety and the maneuvers. Ray, JB, Don, Tony, Harris and Gary all were supportive in training and adapting to different individuals. Things could’ve been different but their style and strengths work. Trust their process, it’s Barney style. Read Less

I had a great experience at Shippers Choice CDL School. The instructors were patient, knowledgeable, and actually took the time to make sure we understood everything instead of just rushing through lessons. They helped build my confidence behind the wheel and made learning things like backing, shifting, and pre-trip inspections much easier. The environment was professional but still supportive, and they really wanted to see their students succeed. The hands-on training was excellent, and I felt fully prepared for my CDL test. If you’re serious about getting your CDL and want a school that will push you while still supporting you, I definitely recommend Shippers Choice CDL School. Read Less

Rude very rude and half the time the instructors aren't there. You gotta wait a month or so after your done with the training to even take you test at DMV. They take your money and put u out after 20 days or If you forget to make a payment they don't care about their students they all about money !!!! Don't go here save your money and time Read Less

Instructors are great and knowledgeable especially Daniel and Tony.The only thing I would change is the amount of people they allow into each class. When I started we had about 60 and then it went down to about 40. Just a lot of people didn't have enough time in the trucks. Otherwise I learned a lot and passed my first time. Read Less

Shippers' Choice is an excellent training facility. Their recruiting staff is comprised of a group of the most enthusiastic gentlemen around. They have a real passion for the industry and they make sure to impart their knowledge and expertise in their pitch to come Shippers'. I truly enjoyed listening to all that the school had to offer to my son and I do believe he will do well with Shippers' Choice behind him 100%!! Read Less

Shippers Choice is a great place to attend to learn the basics about driving a tractor trailer. They prepare you for whatever company you plan on attending. Recruiters come in to speak to you about their company and provide answers to every question so you'll be able to determine what's better for you. Most of the instructions is here to help you so you will be successful. My favorite instructor is Jimmy. Jimmy make sure you understand one one technique before you move on to the next. He take his time with you and always patient. If you want anyone to teach you that really care please see Jimmy. Read Less

Good school instructors are very helpful and make you feel like family all you have to do is listen and apply what's being taught to you and you'll pass only complaint I have is truck driving time is very limited Read Less

not a good school. terrible at job placement too. i called and asked about job placement with laura and all she did was mention companies that hire without experience. that was all. the first two i called said that you must have two years of experience. so much for companies that hire without experience. the dump truck was in really bad shape and the instructors spend little time with you and are unprofessional as heck. this school was a total waste of money. dont go here...please.

My experience with Shipper's Choice of Chester, Va was simply amazing. From the beginning of the recruiting process Chris went above and beyond to schedule me an appointment because I had a busy work schedule. He was very informative and transparent with the information he provided. I've met many recruiters but never one to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Kudos to Chris!!! The training process was just as great. I received a lot of hands on experience from some of the greatest instructors. Everyone has their own teaching style and every individual has their own learning style. Take the time to work with each instructor to find your compatibility. On a daily basis I worked with Joe, George, Dale and Tucker. They took time to explain and demonstrate the task at hand. They always provided a few different ways to work maneuvers. Just like with everything in life, you get out of it what you put into it. If you show no assertion for your own learning in the skills of operating a commercial motor vehicle and everything that goes along with it, then you can't expect training instructors to provide a substantial amount of skill development for you.

I recently visited Shippers' Choice in Chester. I was very surprised to say the least. The CDL school I drive past sometimes in Northern VA is so small and cramped compared to this school. Plus it never really seemed busy. When I was at Shippers' that place was alive with instructors and students, and the trucks are pretty new. Newer trucks was surprising to me as every form of driver's ed and motorcycle ed I've ever seen had old crappy vehicles. This place is a cut above the rest. Read Less
