Fantastic experience: This was an amazing experience. I reviewed other schools, and this one was the most in-depth class out of all of them. All teachers are certified in over 50 states the classes where not too difficult as long as you paid attention and put in the work every instructor had their own golden nugget to give out and left you with something to remember I would recommend this class for anybody coming into the CDL industry, wanting to get their license .
Fantastic experience: Great place to get your cdl it’s fast and instructors are very knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: Professional, knowledgeable and effective
Fantastic experience: The instructors are very knowledgeable, you have plenty of practice time and can ask them any questions about trucking
Fantastic experience: This course, from classroom instruction to driving was PHENOMINAL. I got good working knowledge on the truck during the classroom portion which solidified the knowledge given when driving. I was initially intimidated by the size, but they ensured we had what we needed. They use manual transmission truck to ensure there wasn't an automatic restriction on my license. I've driven manuals before so it was easy for me. But I witnessed the skill and confidence given to those who had no manual experience. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommended!!!!
Fantastic experience: Learn a lot great staff and instructors.
Fantastic experience: Great School!
Fantastic experience: Professionals that are flexible. School works with students to ensure they are permit and road test ready before course completion. This school also conducts training on manual transmissions (so you can avoid the automatic restriction on your CDL) Highly recommended. Good luck Drivers!
Positive experience: Instructors were knowledgeable, patient, & professional.
Fantastic experience: Great program with an amazing staff! The Recruiters and Instructors are extremely knowledgeable and made this transition into the civilian workforce seamless. 10 out of 10 recommending T2T to my buddies!
Fantastic experience: Great Course all around, awesome facilitators and trainers. Would definitely recommend a friend or family member..
Fantastic experience: Amazing instructions and course curriculum
Fantastic experience: All around a great course instructors are very knowledgeable
Fantastic experience: All the instructors were amazing they had so much knowledge. They also did a great job on not making the school boring. 10 out of 10 recommend to anyone wanting to get their cdl through T2T
Fantastic experience: Overall, between classroom time and time on the range. There has never been a moment where I felt left in the dark and confused, there has always been an instructor to turn to and gather so called tools for the tool bag ie tips and knowledge to always turn back to for future success. All the instructors are well trained and have multiple years of experience on their belt to always ask about and gather more information.
Fantastic experience: This school was excellent. The instructors are very knowledgeable. They all have real life experience and a couple even own their own business. They are not teaching because they have to, they do it for the love of the job. Carl, Pert, Bobby, Harry, and George were my instructors. I learned a lot from all of them. This school teaches you on manual transmissions which very few other CDL schools do. I would highly recommend this school to anyone interested in getting their CDL.
Fantastic experience: Very efficient for the amount of time you have and very fair.
Positive experience: Base is huge but it's a nice driving range. Get all the training they teach you their
Fantastic experience: The training was great, and the hotel was very nice
Fantastic experience: Good group of people here that are willing to help. If you need your CDL definitely would recommend anyone coming here.
Fantastic experience: Very good training
Fantastic experience: I just graduated from the program Friday. When I tell you I had an awesome experience. It was kinda bittersweet for me because I was ready to leave and start making money, but I didn’t want to leave because the friendships that were built there, the relationship was built between the instructors and myself and others…indescribable. Just a 10/10 experience for me. Also, my class management team, Muriel, Imari, and Tamika…very helpful and prompt with information and instructions that I needed throughout the whole experience. I loved it all
Fantastic experience: Great instructors and staff. They will teach you and expose you for everything you need before induction to a trans-company.
Fantastic experience: Best Truck Driving School Ever
Fantastic experience: Great training! Definitely the best CDL school
Fantastic experience: Just finished the course. Very professional and funny. Went above and beyond to help you get to where you need to be in the shortest time possible

Fantastic experience: Great course! Had a blast. Instructors are extremely knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: They did good
Fantastic experience: This is a great program! The staff were very helpful.
Fantastic experience: great instructors,
Fantastic experience: This CDL School is a blessing. they support the veterans and active duty soldiers and treat us equally. The hotel was nice we stayed at the Candlewood in Columbus about 10 minutes outside of base. The instructors are what make this program what it is every instructor has their own way of teaching however i cant forget anything they told me. My favorite instructor was Prent he was able to dumb everything down and made the experience fun and relaxing keeping me away from being nervous. All instructors have a sense of humor and many of them are veterans as well. I cant forget Ed if it wasn't for him my pre trip would be hard but he made me articulate and understand it the best from others. Also Ray and Dru was pretty cool too gave me the confidence i needed to get MY CDL. I just want to say thank You! also Ms Imari helped me with everything from getting to the school and problems I had outside of the school.
Fantastic experience: The troops to transport instructors are very knowledgeable in there craft. Prent Keigley, Ed Miller, Mark, and Ray put forth great effort maximizing the task at hand. I will encourage any one wanting a commercial drivers license to attend this course with these instructors.
Fantastic experience: This was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made to go to this particular school. From the Director to the training instructors, everyone was extremely knowledgeable and held you to the highest of standards. Special shout out to Ray, Ed, and Drew for Their exceptional training. They never said No to a student who wanted extra help. Today we tested out in Florida with Prent and he was by the book and ensured we knew exactly what we needed to do before each portion of the test. If you are active duty, veteran or a dependent please choose this school. As long as you listen and apply your knowledge on test day you will be fine. Thank you all.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! This is not a place for anyone that’s not goal drive. The instructors are not just instructors they are life coaches. They definitely makes the process of obtaining your CDL easier. If I had to do it again I would go there no question. My instructions were Mr James, Mr Ray, Mr Darryl & Mr Ed. There is no way I could have gone though this process without them. Testing out my examiner was Prent. He will help make your nerves settle during testing but make sure you know what you are doing. 5 stars for everyone !
Fantastic experience: If you're looking to get into the trucking industry post military, T2T is the way to go! Everyone from the recruiting team to the instructors were nothing but courteous and professional. The 2 week online portion was very informative and was delivered at a very manageable pace. The following 2 weeks driving portion was instructed in a way that made it very easy to grasp and the techniques demonstrated made driving the truck feel comfortable and safe. The instructors truly care and want you to succeed! Highly recommend T2T!
Fantastic experience: Good fast paced school. You will receive what you work for, so if you stay hiding from the heat and not training don’t expect a CDL but if you pay attention to your instructors and put in the work you will most likely get a CDL unless you do one of the automatic failures. These instructors are full of knowledge and amazing overall i had a blast working with them thanks to all of you Ray, James, Doug, Morris, Chris. I didn’t get to work with Carl but he is an honorable mention since the people that worked with him said he was amazing. Do not expect babysitting the school is ran by truckers and vets so if you mess up they will be blunt but they will also help you fix your mistke.
Fantastic experience: Showed up to hotel and they said i wasn't on list. I finally got a hold of Stephanie as it was a Sunday afternoon. And she was able to get a last moment reservation
Fantastic experience: This was the best school I have ever been to. All of the instructors bring their own personality and own way of teaching. For a school that always has something moving, it was a relaxed setting. This school is not for the lazy though. You get out what you put in. Plenty of seat time to practice maneuvers and driving on real roads with real traffic. Instructors were calm and patient at all times. If you come ready to learn, listen and take the training seriously, you will have thrive. Huge shoutout to the admin Stephanie and Shay, and the instructors Chris, James, Ed, Garrett, and Prent for all the tips, tricks and help that you all put in. Mr. Darrel the examiner is a fair but by the book man, so know your stuff. great school all around. Long enough for you learn, and short enough for you to not be away from home long and get straight to work soon after.
Fantastic experience: Great shool to get started.
Fantastic experience: I'd have to say this was the BEST experience I've had since being in/out the military. Being around other service members alone did it for me. Shout out to the Instructors, I would name them but honestly there all good; even the new ones that were coming onboard while I was in training. The entire "Range Week" was Instructor led but "peer driven" The instructors gave the instruction and then they left all students to learn on their own, which gave us the ability to learn a little more according to our skill set. I have to admit I struggled with a few things during maneuvers, but I only pressured myself, I allowed my nerves get the best of me! When it came to learning the Pre Trip by the time it was testing time, I think every student was fully prepared and confident. Thank you to everyone!! I would suggest this to ANY service member to attend.
Positive experience: Class of Aug 2021 Instructors are well educated in the field of all things CDL related and will teach much more than the other CDL Schools. Do not allow the individual behavioral characteristics of each instructor interfere with your learning process. In other words be open minded to the many delivery teaching methods of information. Study Pre-inspection Form A,B,C from day one of class.. Week 3 and 4 are in a motorpool at Fort Benning, dress appropriately for 99+ degree weather; drink water...!!!! Confusing COVID-19 protocols; Week 1 and 2 are online due to COVID-19, but T2T Administration for some strange reason, wink, wink, ($) will attempt to house 2 Adults per room in the hotel for 14 days through the 3rd and 4th week. Every instructor will entertain and answer any and all questions CDL related, so ask away, no time to be shy now...! Overall Troops Into Transportation was a Life Changing Event for the Better. Call your class manager as often as you need too.! Oh by the way the driving portion final exam is in Lake City Florida as of 27 Aug 21....! Good Luck and Be Safe..!
Fantastic experience: It was a great program, and great experience!!
Fantastic experience: Very professional. Excellent experience
Thank you Brandon! Good luck in your new career!
Fantastic experience: The school was very informative I’ve learned a lot about the transportation industry and different ways to maneuver through traffic which gives me a whole different outlook on regular driver. Instructors insured that we were well equipped to drive in heavy traffic conditions. I would definitely refer this program to anyone Over other Schools

Fantastic experience: Great team. Very knowledgeable
Fantastic experience: Great admin, thank you for everything! The instructors were on point, well spoken and could teach as well as demonstrate everything we were required to perform. Fort Benning has a solid team and I can't recommend this school location enough!
Fantastic experience: Great Training, instructors are very patient and informational. TRUST THE PROCESS!!!!
Fantastic experience: Great school learned a lot
Fantastic experience: Information put out and the instructors knowledge was outstanding to enclude Stephanie and Adrianna getting me started. Justin, Jimmy, Drew, Darrel, Carmelo and Jeff are really good and knowledgeable about what they teach. They don’t babysit which I agreed with, and they allow you to ask whatever questions you want and be sure to let you know where you need work.
Fantastic experience: Adriana and the admin was exceptional!
Fantastic experience: Great experience.
Fantastic experience: Excellent instructors and staff, very well taken care of. Instructors are professional and humorous.
Fantastic experience: Excellent program for the Military person “with enough common sense.” If you are not self driven and motivated to learn then this is not the course for you. If you can’t drive a damn car you might need to wait a minute before trying to drive a semi. They have a great staff who will go above and beyond to help you succeed.
Fantastic experience: The instructors were very knowledgeable and were subject matter experts who took adequate time to give instructions. I woukd recommend this school to others.
