I want to leave an excellent review for CDL Shippers Choice of Virginia because they are truly one of the best 🙌 From day one, they showed great professionalism, but what stood out the most was their patience while teaching and answering all my questions! Learning how to drive trucks was not easy, but they make the whole process clear, smooth, and safe. A special thank you to Carlo, Mr. Li, and Ramiro, who took the time to explain everything step by step and never lost their patience. Thanks to them, I now feel confident and fully prepared. If you’re looking for a great CDL school, I 100% recommend Shippers Choice of Virginia 💯🚛 Read Less

Amazing school. I’ll recommend to everyone. It provided for me everything I needed and wanted to get my CDL without any hustle. At first I was not able to afford the school tuition but I was advised by their manger Ramiro to seek help from various government organizations, I was pointed at the right direction and secured grant. During school attendance I never felt pressure, instructors were always friendly and patient with us and explained everything that was asked. The thing I liked the most was that few of the students (including me) needed more time for practice, and when we asked to come to practice in hours out of our schedule, no one was ever denied. Even when we completed regular course hours, the supervising instructor Mr Carlo never refused our request to come additional to practice and further hone our skills, they gave us the chance for us to decide when we are ready to take the test. Thank you Shippers’ Choice for the opportunity you provided for me. I’m a proud CDL holder now. P.s Most of the instructors are bilingual ( eng&span) so they also help many Latino students. Another great thing to consider is that they let you go test when you are absolutely confident in your abilities to pass it. And most pleasant surprise for me was that during test the examiner Eddie was very polite and calm, he let me dictate my own pace, he explained all the rules clearly and made sure I understood what I am expected to demonstrate to pass Read Less

Awesome place to get your CDL from. The instructors are great. I enjoyed my time here. A few times I wanted to give up but one of the instructors convinced me to push on and I now not only have my CDL but a great career making over 80k a year in my first year. Read Less

There is so much to say about my experience and the instructors at Shipper's Choice that I cannot possibly type it all. I had a wonderful learning experience going from knowing nothing about a combination vehicle to being able to name about every part of the Truck and Trailer. Ms. Laura is the "CDL Human-Hand Book" and she is filled with unlimited knowledge, experience, and wisdom of truck driving. She was always patient and willing to answer any question asked, and pretty mu...ch has a close relationship with almost every trucking company you can think of. I didn't have a learner's permit when I started at the school. When I tested at DMV for my permit ever question that was asked, Ms. Laura covered in the classroom portion and was also in my notes that she encouraged us to take. The hands-on portion of the class (On the Driving Range and Road) was challenging but fun. All the instructors were great and each gave their own personal technique on how to perfect straight backing, offset parking, and parallel parking. This is very helpful because one specific way doesn't always work for all. Out on the road was terrifying the first time, but through the direction and encouragement of the instructors "IF YOU LISTEN AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!" you will be driving well in no-time. On the day of my DMV CDL examination, I felt ready and really had no reason to be nervous or scared because I was prepared and I was taught what I needed to know to be successful. I passed my DMV Test the first try. I am truly grateful and thankful for the time each instructor invested in helping me succeed. Thank you Tony, Keith, George, Daniel, Joe, and Gunny for everything. I also want to say thank you to my recruiter Chris helping me make this all possible. Special shot out and thanks to Barry Braxton who was always present and seen around the school checking on the students to see if we needed anything. Thanks to Shipper's Choice and its history I was hired as a full time driver before I even started my class......Now that is reason enough to give this place a try, I definitely have NO-regrets.

Wow! Don’t know how to start. Just took my test for my class A CDL. And I passed first try. This school is great. I went weekends only. The instructors really have a good understanding of what people are good at and what you may need Work on. Nobody will hold your hand. You have to bring it every time you come. Listen and actually understand what these are teaching and you will be fine. All they need is some effort from you. Constantine and Herb and all of the guys, those guys have over 20 plus years in trucking. So if you are patient and just listen to them you will succeed. Thank you Shippers Choice. Read Less

Shippers Choice Manassas, VA was the school I chose for my CLASS A I went fulltime monday to Friday and it was the best experience I had. Teachers are awesome and they take there time to show you easy techniques when it comes to parallel parking. All the staff was professional and entertaining as well. Here I am a year later and still driving. Kudos to the entire team Dave, Robin, Bill, Jose, Constastine and Peggy, love and miss you all!! Read Less

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 so...me 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 them you can't expect training instructors to provide an substantial amount of skill development for you.
