I had a great experience at CDS Port Orchard Campus. The entire team was professional, dedicated, and genuinely supportive throughout my time there. Avery, Al, Hannah, Heze, Matt, Shawn, Blaine, Mike, Rick, and Jayden all went above and beyond to help students succeed and feel comfortable.
From day one, they made us feel welcome and created a positive learning environment where questions were encouraged and support was always available. Their knowledge, patience, and commitment to student success made a real difference in my training experience.
I highly recommend CDS Port Orchard to anyone looking for quality training and instructors who truly care about their students' success. Thank you all for the excellent experience!

Everyone at CDS is top notch! The office staff, instructors, and even all the way up to the president genuinely care about my education and steps needed to get me on the road as a commercial truck driver. I will recommend CDS and only CDS to anyone that asks me about how to get a CDL

Phenomenal school from top to bottom. Jody is a call or email away to answer any questions and assist after your CDS graduation, the office staff (Avery and Hannah) were amazing and always answered questions promptly or steered you in the correct direction to get your questions answered. The instructors in the yard and class room have a ton of knowledge and do a great job making the curriculum fun and engaging. They do an amazing job at molding their teaching strategies to the student to help make it click with each individual. I did my classroom portion with Al, and he did a great job making the death by power point far less grueling. My yard instructors were primarily Sean, Matt, Blaine and Rick all 4 guys did a great job helping me to realize my mistakes and gave great tips to make adjustments. They all made the class extremely enjoyable. The instructors communicate well with each other and the students, making an easy transition from week to week, all of the instructors will make time to ensure you’re ready to obtain your CDL. The school as a whole is great, it’s very streamlined and may seem intimidating when you first step out onto the yard or climb into a truck, but these instructors know what they’re doing and will make sure you’re ready to test before they send you away.

Just got my class A cdl after going through cds in port orchardand couldn't be happier. I work in Alaska and they worked around my schedule, which made it possible for me to get my cdl while working. The instructors are all drivers with years of experience and as intimidating it is to get behind the wheel of a truck, they give you the confidence needed to pass the tests with ease. Thanks cds!

Really didn't know what to expect going from being a chef to driving semis. The instructors and staff made it a wonderful experience. Met and made lots of new friends. Special thanks to a specific instructor, Jerry Gondola, coming in on his days off to help with with aspects that I struggled at. Thank you very much and highly recommend this campus
