Fantastic experience: Great place to stretch out an unweary motorist or two for not obeying the move over law. Yup dis be Bo Nix.
Fantastic experience: Tommy and his operation are the best investment you can make in your future to be gamefully employed. Was having a hard time getting DMV Regs. I reached out and spoke to Tommy and he helped me sort thru the new laws and regs even the DMV knew nothing about. CDL SS saved my recertification hopes and gave me information no one could help me with. Beyond Awesome!!! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Awesome, it was great to work with you and thank you very much for the kind words. You did great and please keep us posted on your career!
Fantastic experience: Just wanted to say this was a very professional and thorough school. They are really caring people and want you to succeed. They cover everything you need to know and put it in ways you can remember and understand. Just wanted to say thank you and treat I would highly recommend if you are looking for great service.
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience working with Tommy and Val. Two 5 hour days were a breeze while still being highly informative and professionally conducted. I passed my test with flying colors and saved a ton of money with this facility. I would recommend them to anyone interested in CDL training/certification.
Fantastic experience: Tom and Val are both excellent; I was sent here to do some training to prepare for my class B CDL test. I was delighted with the training I received, Tom and Val are both masters at their work, and I would recommend anyone looking to get a CDL to attend this school. Thanks again, guys!!
Fantastic experience: Tommy and his team are outstanding!!! Learned a lot and passed my CDL on first attempt.
Fantastic experience: Just took my CDL test through this school and did my ELDT training with them as well. I had an incredibly amazing experience and learned a ton in the two days of training. The facility was great and Val and Tom had a ton of knowledge and were amazing trainers! We’ve had two employees get their Class A through CDL Safety School and we will for sure be sending any other employees that need their CDL to them as well. Id highly recommend them to anyone in need of training and testing!
Justin, thank you for utilizing our company for both your ELDT and your CDL test. You were a real joy to work. The fact that you were incredibly prepared AND also had such a great attitude was the key to your success. The tester was suitably impressed and you earned very high marks on all three modules of the test - pretrip, backing and driving. Please keep up posted with your career and thank you so very much for using our company to obtain your CDL - welcome to the Brotherhood!
Fantastic experience: I was getting my class B to volunteer bus drive for a few youth organizations we are a part of. I used this school to take my exam. From my experience, they have 2 goals. 1) To see you succeed. I felt that they were doing all they could to make sure I got my license. 2) To make sure only qualified people pass. I didn't pass the inspection portion my first try. Some things seemed picky and overly detailed to me, and I'd rather a school like this be picky and detailed than allow people to slide through. They were great to work with and while I wish I had passed the first time I am pleased with my decision to test here.
Matt, thank you for taking the time to give us an online review AND thank you for choosing our company for your CDL Testing! We appreciate your thought process with regard to the CDL Test - some things are a bit "picky" but overall, the CDL Test is a good test of your knowledge and operational skills. Everyone, from your boss to the people that you are on the road with, wants a safe driver whose emphasis is on the safe and legal operation of a CMV. Thank you for choosing our school!
Fantastic experience: I recommend this place if you need to get your CDL. Both instructors were great. They were very knowledgeable and very friendly. You can tell they want to help out future drivers be the best they can.
Kevin, thank you for taking the time to give us an online review of our training and testing. We really do want to help and we hope it shows every day. Valerie and I very much appreciated working with you and thank you for choosing our school to obtain your CDL. All the very best to you and welcome to the Brotherhood!
Fantastic experience: Very personable , great people, and just like their website says; a "mentorship " to get you on the road safely and successfully.
Bruce, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. You were great to work with and we want to thank you for choosing our school for your Class A NTT training. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Fantastic experience: Tommy and Valerie are amazing! Their knowledge and experience driving commercial vehicles goes above and beyond other schools I attended. They helped me feel confident with the pre-trip inspection, skills test and driving portion of the test! I would highly recommend them to anyone trying to get their CDL.
David, thank you for this review of our services to you. It was great to work with you and your Class B truck - you studied hard, knew your stuff and did very well on your CDL B Test. Please keep us posted on your future endeavors and always strive to be the safest driver you can be - your life and many other lives are counting on you to make the best decisions at all times while operating a CMV - all of the best to you, my friend!
Fantastic experience: Practical behind the wheel experience from day one, instructors passionate about instilling safe and skilled driving, quality curriculum, individual attention, honesty and integrity. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have attended CDL Safety School. The experience and knowledge taught here has given me a firm foundation in my desire to safely and skillfully operate a CMV. Thank you Tommy and Val for your dedication in preparing me for my CDL A and making me a safer driver.
Phillip, thank you very much for your review. It was a joy and an honor to work with you. You did very well here and being a man of principle and integrity, I know that you will do very well for your current employer. Val and I want you to know that we very much enjoyed our time with you. You performed very well in all three aspects of the CDL Test - the pre-trip inspection, the backing and the drive. You studied hard, you perservered and you asked a ton of great questions - never ever stop learning and you will be awesome in all that you put your hand to. Please keep us posted and remember, we'd love for you to stop by anytime!
Fantastic experience: Valerie and Tommy are awesome! Their patience, excellent knowledge base, and superior teaching skills were key components to me passing my commercial driving exam my first attempt. While on the road Tommy was a professional and anticipated my moves before I even thought of them. His years of experience were clearly visible on those drives. Valerie had me prepared for my pre trip inspections almost instantly through her methodologies. I would strongly recommend learning from these two highly qualified individuals! Thank you again for such a wonderful experience!
Adam, I miss you already! Working every weekend with you for the last month and now since you took the CDL Skills Test and scored very well, I am finding some extra time (not) - always have someone to train, it seems - which is a very good thing! You were a bright spot in my weekends - you were always ready to go, always applied the teaching immediately, always brought your A-game and always had a super great attitude - what else could an instructor ask for?! Val and I wish you all the best with your CDL Career - your company is lucky to have you and I hope that they do well by you down the stretch. Training with you was a great experience. Thank you for choosing our school!
Fantastic experience: This CDL school it amazing! I just finished up going through the 2 week course and getting my CDL A. Tommy goes above and beyond to teach you how to be the best driver possible. I learned so much in those 2 weeks. Couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much Tommy!
Danny, it was great to have you come through the school. Your skill level is right up there and your CDL Skills test appears to have been a breeze. You were assigned one of our toughest routes for the CDL Test driving portion and you aced it. From the trainer aspect, you are the type of student that we are looking for - calm, good memory skills, great listening skills and the ability to put into action what you are being asked to do - getting it right the first time, so that we can move on to more advanced training more quickly. I'm glad that we were able to snag an employee interview for you with one of the best local fuel delivery companys in Colorado! As you know, learning how to drive is not as easy as it looks. You put in a lot of hard work and study and now it will to start to pay off. Keep us posted, brother and we wish you all the very best!
Fantastic experience: I want to thank Tommy and Valerie for being such great teachers. I highly recommend this school just for the amount of behind the wheel time it's the only way to learn. Just an awesome experience all the way around!
Charlie, it was great working with you and you did such a great job! You are an awesome individual and gave it everything you had, which paid off big time when it came to the CDL Test. Great scores and 110% effort - thank you so much for your positive attitude and calm demeanor - that's what it takes if you want to be the best at what you do! Please keep us posted from time to time with your career and Happy July 4th to you and your family!
Fantastic experience: I came here back in March with little to no experience driving large commercial vehicles/trucks. After the hands on training I received I passed my class B CDL test, with absolutely no problem. Recently me and a co-worker took classes to get our class A CDL and it was just as great as the first time! The instructors here are top notch and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you again for everything, I could not have done it without you!
Sean, we are proud of you and you are certainly welcome! You came very well prepared and gave us your A-Game the entire time. As with any training, an individual gets out of it what they put into it. You were excellent to train and had such a great attitude. Your CDL Test scores were awesome and you should have a very good foundation for a lifetime of safe driving. Keep it on the black stuff between the green stuff! Also, please keep us posted with your driving career!
Fantastic experience: Want to learn and drive a truck properly and safely?? This is the school for you!! Tommy is best trainer/instructor in Colorado. Val is great teacher ! Together they make the best teachers you can ever ask for! I really appreciate the time n effort they spent with me. After I passed my test they feel more like family then instructors. You guys simply Rock!!!!! Amazing experience all the way around!
Harold, thank you for the kind words. We are cut from the same cloth - speak our minds, have lots of integrity and a passion to be safe and legal. We really enjoyed working with you. It was great to meet your family at the Truck Roadeo and we look forward to many more times together! See you at our July 4th BBQ!
Fantastic experience: Great instructor and great class. Highly recommend
Ryan, thank you for the reveiew. Your company is awesome to work with and your drivers are dedicated, prepared and have great attitudes.We wish you and your company all the best this year and thank you so much for your business!
Fantastic experience: I was a tester for Tommy and he is a great trainer. He not only teaches you to drive a CDL vehicle, he also teaches confidence in handling the vehicle in different real world conditions. His instructors must care about the students and what they are doing in order to work for the school.
David, thank you for taking the time to write this review. If you ever get back to Colorado, please stop in. All of us enjoyed working with you and as a Colorado State Tester, you were one of the best! You always knew how to bring out the best in people and calm them down when they would get nervous with the CDL test. Please continue to keep in touch and we wish you all the best!
Fantastic experience: Tommy is top notch guy all around and a patient teacher
Always a man of few words! Great job, Jeramie - excellent driver - great test scores! You did awesome. Overall, it was your positive and consistent attitude that got you through the training and the test. Keep up the good work. Keep us posted with your career! All the best to you!
Positive experience: As an instructor taking a student for testing I can say their professionalism is top of the line. The testing was fair and honest, following the letter of the laws and rules.
Thank you for taking the time to write your assessment of our testing facility. Also, thank you for bringing your students to our Colorado Third-Party Test Facility! It's a great day in a driver's life when they obtain their CDL and it's also nice to see the culmination of all your efforts end in success. Being a trainer myself, you pour your heart and soul into these students - some do well and some do fantastic - it's great to be a part of the process. Teaching life skills that can change lives is really where it's at. That's why we do what we do!
Fantastic experience: I went to this school a few weeks back. I did the 1 day 10hr crash course. What an amazing job Tommy and his crew did!! I was fairly fresh to big trucks and how the operate. They were very good in helping me in the areas I struggle with and not over loading me with useless information. I was able to get the whole pre trip down in 2 hrs with missing nothing. They give you great direction and don’t shame you for messing up or missing something. They work with YOU so YOU are %100 ready for your test. If you listen and pay attention these guys will get you your CDL!!! Thanks Tommy for an excellent experience!!
Thank you so much for the review. Valerie and I were talking about you after you completed and passed your CDL test (with flying colors, I might add) and we were discussing the fact that you were probably the most prepared short-term student we have ever had at the school. You took all of those materials we emailed to you and studied hard - we were very impressed! The more preparation an individual does, the better the training and also the retention of the training! We trained your boss yesterday and he tests today - we'll see how he does. Thank you for helping him with his pretrip the last couple of days - he said he could tell that you learned quite a bit here, and that's a good thing! Anyways, it was so good to work with you - you were a breath of fresh air. It is so rewarding to train drivers who care and study hard - all the pieces just come together - it makes for a great time! All the best to you and please keep us posted on your driving career!
Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend this place enough....fantastic company and fantastic people! Day started off with Tom the owner. Very professional and very thorough! I described to him that I really wanted to hammer out my inspection for my class B license. He instructed me very proficiently and was very thorough with my pre-trip inspection. We even had some extra time and went over some backing drills and open road drills! Jennifer was my tester. She was very polite and patient while I went over everything on the truck even if it wasn’t on the test! Can’t thank CDL safety school enough for helping me out and helping me further my career! They are great, hard working people here, that want to see you succeed!
Joe, thank you for taking the time to leave this review - it was great working with you and we had a great time working well together through the windy conditions! You did well on your test and I hope that our training together taught you some valuable inspection and defensive driving skills. All the best to you and please keep us posted on your driving career!
Fantastic experience: Some of the best education I've received in my life!! Tommy's program took me from being an average driver to a confident, capable professional in a weeks time. 40 hours of one-on-one instruction, over 400 miles behind the wheel, high quality equipment and course material, I couldn't ask for anything more. On top of being a highly-skilled and knowledgeable instructor, Tommy is also just a great and comfortable guy to be around. He's worked in the trucking industry for decades and knows the in's and out's of everything relevant, very-much the real deal. Professional training from a professional trucker for an extremely reasonable price. Everyone who works there is skilled, down to earth, and otherwise just good people. I had a really enjoyable time learning from him and his colleagues (Jennifer and Val, I'm looking at you!!) and know that this is one of the best investments I've made in a long time, in regards to both career and personal skills. Definitely recommend this school if you're looking to get into the industry, you will not be disappointed.
Amanda, thank you very much for your review of our school! You were so very good to work with - at all times you exhibited an awesome attitude, you were very positive and also expressed a very passionate learning desire to learn as much as possible about CMV's. We couldn't have asked for a better student. As a result of your great attitude, your very good listening skills, copius amount of study and a strong willingness to get this done, your level of success was high as you obtained your Class B CDL! Please keep us posted on your life and career - you have so much to offer the world in terms of your skills, positive outlook and fresh vision. We wish you all the best!
Fantastic experience: Can not say enough about how great of an experience this was for me. I got the best CDL training all while feeling comfortable and respected. My instructor truly cared about my success and took time to personally mentor me as well as spend extra time on things I needed. This is the first step towards a brighter future and an outstanding career! Thanks for everything CDL Safety School!
Taylor, it was great having you here at our school. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. Your ability to listen, learn and then put it all into action was superb! As I recall, your backing skills improved tremendously over the course of the 10 days you were here. Your command and control of the truck was awesome and your seriousness about study was what really lifted you higher as you progressed through the course. We wish you all the best and please keep us posted on your next steps and life-long career! As we always say, "people need their stuff and there is no better time then to take your much-needed place in the supply chain". Taylor, thank you again for your business - it was an honor to work with you!
Fantastic experience: They have the best instructors ever!! If you are trying to get your CDL this is where you want to come and get it done! Thanks to Tommy for everything!! Very good communication with students..very good equipment!
Miguel, thank you so much for your review! We had a great time with you - awesome attitude, passion for learning, great weather and lots of time to develop your skills - what more could we ask for? We put in a lot of miles and had some great times in the truck! We hope that you do well in your new career and we wish you all of the best that this industry has to offer.
Fantastic experience: I took my class B cdl here with Jennifer, she is very nice, explain everything in details ask you if you understand. You can tell she know what she is doing. Recommend her to anyone who wanna do your CDL test. She does Class A as well.
Souley, great to hear from you and thank you for your comments regarding Jennifer. We are very priviledged to have awesome testers with tons of CMV and CDL-testing experience! I am glad this was a great experience for you as you will remember this for a long time to come. Welcome to the Brotherhood of truck drivers and we hope you continue to learn and do very well with this awesome career choice. All the best!
Fantastic experience: I recently completed the Entry Level Class A course with Tommy at CDL Safety School and I’m glad I chose this school over the other options in the area. The amount of behind the wheel time makes a huge difference and I was blown away with how fast I was in the truck driving and logging miles! Tommy is a straight shooter and has a ton of experience. He’s flexible with your learning style and a patient guy. I greatly appreciated that Tommy wanted to get to know me and didn’t treat me as just another student or paycheck. He genuinely cares about your success becoming a professional driver. I highly recommend Tommy and CDL Safety School. Thanks Tommy! -Brandon
Brandon, thank you for your review and for pointing out the large amount of BTW experience that we like to provide all of our students! You were awesome to work with and did a great job with the Class A vehicle. I have to say, that you were one of the best students with regard to sensitivity with the gear-shift - always gentle and accurate - that was great to see! Drivers must learn to respect the equipment at all times - future employers love this type of work ethic! You are a great family man and it was good to get to know you. Valerie and I wish you all the best in your career - please keep us posted. And again, thank you for taking the time to write a review!
Fantastic experience: Great Training and hands on. Instructor was very helpful and thorough. I would recommend CDL Safety school to anyone!
Sam, great to hear from you again! Thank you for the kind words - it was so much fun to have you here at the school for your training - we had some good times! We think of you often when going down Colfax and you are certainly the star to a few of the stories that are told here. All the very best to you and your family and thank you again for taking the time to write a review. You will not be forgotten! Stay safe out there!
Fantastic experience: I trained with Tommy for 4 hours this morning before taking my Class A CDL test. I had prepared and studied in advance but wanted a quick refresher course to calm my nerves and ensure I would test well. Tommy was incredibly professional, extremely knowledgeable, full of experience, and had such a great personality that the morning flew by and my nerves settled right down. He was very supportive throughout the entire process and followed up with me after my test to congratulate me. I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience and would HIGHLY recommend this program to anyone without hesitation.
Micaela, thank you so much for your review and kind words. You studied hard, had a great attitude and listened well! What more could we ask for? We are glad that you had a great experience here and hope that you do very well with your CDL. That was a fine truck and trailer you brought down here and you should be very proud of your accomplishment as you drive that rig across our great country. Keep up the good work and please don't be a stranger as you are welcome here to visit anytime! It was great to work with you and your company - all the best!
Fantastic experience: It was great safety is definitely the #1 priority here wether is driving, teaching or just with the new ordinances regarding Covid-19.
Isaiah, thank you for taking the time to give us your review. We are trying very hard to do our part to "flaten the curve" - thank you for noticing and we appreciate your encouragement!
Fantastic experience: I completed a 2 weeks CDL A entry level course at CDL safety school, during this time Tommy thought me a lot of things and daily gave 100% effort to prepare me for the CDL test, If you are looking for a professional CDL course I highly recommend this school. Thank you Tommy! Jesus D.
Jesus, great to hear from you and thank you so much for your review of our school. Your attitude was awesome each and every day! Your desire to learn and be safe at all times was unwavering. It was a real pleasure to work with you and we wish you all the best in your new career! You got it done and obtained your CDL with some very good scores. Please keep in touch.
Negative experience: Tommy is a great truck driver. Teacher, not so much. He honestly cares more about keeping his streak of perfect passes then he does teaching and having you learn to be a good truck driver. If you're part of the younger generations and they're serious about learning how to drive truck go somewhere else. I took his corporate class for $4,500 for two weeks with the promise of 80 to 100 hours behind the wheel time. I barely made the 80 hours then he refused to let me test because he said I wasn't ready. And in all honesty I wasn't. But then you wanted to charge my company $4,000 more to get me one more week of drive time practice. Like I said Tommy is a good guy and a good truck driver, but that's kind of just jerk move.
Colton, you are a good guy - you just were not safe to drive a full-size semi-truck and take the test - and you admitted it. We have you at 94 hours total - had you finished the course and took the test, you would have been over the 100 hours and over 500 miles behind the wheel. We reimbursed your company for the hours that you were short of the 100 hours total. We also presented your company with a plan to pay for another 20 hours of training at $37.50/hr for a total of $750 - this is a steal. I will forward you the correspondence so that you can get your facts straight - just call me. Please do not spread lies about our school - this is called defamation. Here's a direct quote from the email I wrote your boss: "Our only goal at this school is to produce a safe driver. There is nothing else that we are trying to accomplish. To prove to you that both I and this school has integrity and believe that we did the best in Colton’s case, I will donate 10 of those 20 hours. If you want to pay for the additional 10 hours of training at $75/hour (our standard training rate using our equipment), then we may have a deal. I still need to know if I am going to get Colton’s A-game for the rest of his training here. This school has a very good reputation for putting out quality graduates who have been trained to operate a CMV both safely and legally."
Fantastic experience: Was a very good school, Tommy is a great teacher and I am glad that I chose this school for my CDL training!
Cory, thank you for the kind words! It was great to train you and you did an awesome job throughout the training and also on your CDL test. Keep up the good work and thank you for choosing our school!
Fantastic experience: I just finished, the two week long, CDL A Entry Level Course. All in all, the course worth every penny. Lots of driving, tons of valuable information, and an awesome experience. My trainer was Tommy, overall a great guy! He's very knowledgeable, smart and a good teacher. I highly recommend CDL Safety School! Thank you very much, Tommy, for everything! Best regards, Charles
Charles, always eager to learn, asked a lot of questions, has a quick attention to details, brought your A-game every day and almost set a school record with your CDL Test scores! You were an awesome student to work with each and every day! You should do very well in this industry - please keep us posted!
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience with CDL safety school. Tommy has so much industry knowledge and experience that he bestows upon to his students. I went in having to get my class B CDL with no prior knowledge of how to drive a manual, pre trip inspections, or anything mechanical. Tommy took extra time out of our scheduled class sessions everyday to make sure that I was ready to take the exam. I passed on my first try and I still use what he taught me i.e (importance of safety and a thorough pre trip) while driving everyday. Overall the class was a blast and I would recommend it to anyone trying to get their CDL. Thanks Tommy!!
Zara - you were an awesome student here! It was great news when you called to tell me that you had passed your first Level One Inspection with the CSP! This is a great accomplishment and it's also the result of doing a very good, detailed inspection on your CMV each and every day - keep up the good work. Never ever let a day go by that you do not fully inspect your vehicle - stay smart and continue to be a safe operator! All the very best to you!
Fantastic experience: Amazing CDL School, all hands on and no cutting corners. Tommy is an amazing trainer he is tough but in the best way possible. Tommy builds confidence in you and always gives positive feedback. Tommy is very knowledgeable at what he teaches and in the two weeks that I was there I learned so much that I never knew about driving a CMV. It's only 2 person school, so you get every chance to improve and learn and Tommy will teach you anything you need to know about driving so ask, if you don't ask you won't never know. I recommend anyone that wants to be a CMV driver and wanted to improve their driving skills to CDL Safety School.
Anthony, thank you for taking the time to write your review of our school! You were an awesome student and now have a great start on being very successful in the business - your entire professional driving career is ahead of you and we can't wait to see what you can accomplish! All the very best to you and please keep us posted! Happy New Year to you and your family!
Fantastic experience: Tommy was the best. He's a very patient and knowledgeable teacher. I'll take a lot of his knowledge that he passed on to me into my career. CDL Saftey School is the best CDL school in the state, and I know Tommy is the best instructor. I wish you nothing but the best Tommy. Keep doing what you've been doing brother from another mother haha. I'll stay in touch. Thanks for everything.
David - what can I say - you were an awesome dring student - picked up things very quickly and listened very well! We had lots of fun in the truck and you made the learning process light and easy. We are excited to see you grow in the industry and I know that your company is proud to have you working for them. You will do very well and you are definitely a brother from another mother - reminded me a lot of what I used to be like when I was in my 20's. You definitely have a love for trucks and all that goes with that AND that is exciting. Keep the passion, take all the speed-bumps in stride and stay safe at all times!
Fantastic experience: I recently received my CDL A license after working with Tommy. He was a great teacher and had a great program for learning the basics of truck driving. His training program allows you to learn everything to set you on the path to being a safe and great driver
William, thank you very much for your review. You did awesome here at the school and we wish you all the best in your professional driving career! It was great to exchange Traeger recipies with you while you were here - we have cooked up some great dishes between the two of us - that was a lot of fun! You have a great start now and we wish all the best to you and your family!
Fantastic experience: Good school. Tommy, the owner is great guy and very helpful. If you have some experience in driving, you should take the full day refreshing class and then you will be good to go. Otherwise, take the full package. Thanks!
Thank you, Ismail! It was great working with you and we wish you all the best as you continue to rack up the miles across this great nation of ours! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to write us a review and we look forward to your next visit!
Fantastic experience: I just passed my CDL test after taking the 2 week course at CDL Safety School. I definitely recommend CDL safety school to anyone looking to get there CDL. Tommy is a fantastic teacher and has a very positive attitude all the time. Thanks Tommy!
Jake, you are so welcome. It was great working with you and I really appreciate your thoughts and insights on our internal evaluation - you were awesome to work with and I'm very glad to have had a part in fulfilling one of your life-long goals. At 19, you have almost all of your driving career ahead of you and with all of the defensive driving techniques that you now know, you could save hundreds of lives over the course of your career. Please keep us posted as to your career path and "welcome to the Brotherhood!" We are very proud of you!
Fantastic experience: Tommy made time for me on a Saturday morning for a couple hours of refresher shifting practice before a series of road tests for a potential job. I had been in a automatic for over a year and out the truck for several months.He was an excellent, level headed instructor with allot valuable real world experience to offer and got me back up to speed in a short time. And I did get that job,too. Thanks again, Tommy.
Brian, you were awesome to work with and cudo's to you for not taking any chances, covering all your bases and do everything you could do to land that job! Congrats on getting that job - this is sure to be a big career booster for you and we are very proud of you! Keep us posted and stay in touch!
Fantastic experience: My name is Bruce and I just passed my CDL test after taking the 2 week course at CDL Safety School. I would recommend this course to everyone out there wanting to get their CDL license. Tommy is a great instructor and teacher. I have read a lot of positive google reviews on CDL Safety School and everyone of the reviews are correct. Positive attitude and a lot of driving and backing. You take this course you will get your CDL license. Thanks Tommy
Bruce, it's great to hear from you and thank you for taking the time to write this review. We had a blast working with you and I'm sure that you will do very well no matter what part of the industry you get into. Please keep me posted as to your job progress and I'm looking forward to hearing from you in the near future. All the best to you!
Fantastic experience: I had failed my first class A test on the backing pointed out on the offset. A friend referred me to Tommy, So I reached out and told him my issues and needed some additional training with a few backing maneuvers to complete my Class A. Tommy scheduled me in a few days later for a two day course. His teaching ability and his knowledge of trucking made it easy to reverse my thought process and had me go from pointing out on the the offset, To having zero points on my backing test. I’m proud to say I’m now a CDL A license driver and I’m thankful for CDL safety school and Tommy for the extra work to get me over the hump.
Donald, thank you for your kind words - it was great to help you out! Sometimes students, such as yourself, come to us from other truck driving schools because they don't get all the necessary time to learn and practice the various backing maneuvers. Backing a big truck is quite easy if you know certain basic principles; however, most other truck driving schools don't seem to have the time to mentor each driver like they should. We only train 2 students per instructor so your time is much better utilized. If I recall, you told me that you had 8 students in your class and that you were only able to get in 2 backing reps per day which is not nearly enough to learn the backing maneuvers, let alone be safe when backing. Many truck accidents happen while backing - you need to become good at backing so that you can be a much safer driver. Congratulations to you on getting your CDL and "Welcome to the wonderful world of trucking where we bring everything to everybody"! Stay safe out there and please keep me posted on your career.
Fantastic experience: If you want to learn safely on how to drive a truck this is the school. 2 students per an instructor, lots of behind the wheel time. Very little classroom time. Tommy is a great instructor, I learned a lot from him.
Corey, you were great to train. We had a blast and I'm sure that you will do very well in your truck-driving career! Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to write your review. If I had my way, we would spend about 3 weeks on just the semi-truck - inspecting, backing and driving every day; however, there does have to be some classroom time and homework to satisfy the various third-party requirements. I'm glad you learned a lot from us here at the school. All the best to you as your begin this exciting new career - I'm very proud of you and please keep me posted!
Fantastic experience: My name is Jacob and I just went thru CDL Safety School a few weeks back. I took a 4 hour course with Tommy and he was very thorough and took me step by step through the pre trip inspection to ensure I inspected everything necessary. I highly recommend going through CDL Safety School to get a CDL. Tommy was great and very helpful
Jacob, thank you for taking the time to review our school! It was great working with you. You're an awesome driver and we hope that you continue to do very well in your professional career - we are certainly following your races. All the best to you in 2019!
Fantastic experience: A great place to follow your dream of driving a truck. Just as the motto says, you learn by driving. Tommy and his "crew" of instructors are a great group. They have insights from their business expertise, and share their personal/life experiences. I never felt like a number there. When there were weaknesses in my abilities, Tommy found time to work on those with me. A great place to learn. Thanks Tommy, big Mike, Austin "Dallas", and Carl.
Richard, it was great having you here at the school. Thank you for the kind words and also thank you for coming up to see us at the Colorado National Truck Championship Roadeo this last weekend! You were absolutely great to work with and we hope you do very well in your shiny new truck and trailer. We hope to see you from time to time as you put the miles on - you will enjoy driving that new Volvo very much - it's one of the best road trucks out there (IMO). All the best to you and your family. You were definitely an inspiration to me and it was very rewarding for me to teach you a set of new skills!
Fantastic experience: CDL safety school is amazing tommy has a lot of knowledge to give and is very skilled at operating a CMV. He is very fun and relaxed and if you pay attention there is no reason you should not get your CDL. Thanks for all the knowledge and all the fun in the process tommy. Prayers and wishes of many more years of success to you.
Ian, thank you for your review - we had a great time together in the last two weeks. We are so proud of you! You did a great job in school, gave me your A-game every day and did very well in the midst of a lot of adversity. Please keep us posted with your career and we look forward to seeing you at the company BBQ in July! Be safe out there and we wish you all the very best!
Fantastic experience: Great school for actually driving! Tommy was an excellent trainer.
Adam, thank you for your review. You were absolutely great to work with and you did so well - almost set the school record for a near-perfect drive - only one of three students who managed to perform all 84 traffic checks on your 23 mile test drive! Very impressive. We hope you move on to a great job. You will make some trucking company out there very, very happy with your emphasis on safe and legal operation. All the best to you and your family!
Fantastic experience: Tommy Tommy there not words that can describe how much I appreciate you ,anyone at there the are looking to learn from the best Tommy is the man. Tommy held me a lot,he went xtra miles with me to make sure that I learn how to drive not just drive how to be safe also.
Fantastic experience: On behalf of my husband, Joe, I would like to leave a glowing review for Tommy. He does a fantastic job training his students. He takes the time to work with his students one-on-one, so they receive very individualized training as he spends the time on each skill. We highly recommend CDL Safety School if you're considering getting your license, it's worth every penny.
Joe and Lori, thank you for your recommendation of our school. We owe much of our success to students like Joe, who studied hard, apply themselves diligently, listened well and didn't give up. The one-on-one mentorship is very much needed as most students will testify after the first day of training that driving a truck is not as easy as it sometimes appears. Operating a CMV safely at all times can be a huge challenge in this crazy world we operate in and it takes a lot of thought and skill to go from point A to point B in as safe and legal a manner as possible. We wish Joe all the best as he enters into the industry.
Negative experience: We came from Texas to do the road test. We made an appointment a week ago. When we arrived to testing location at 6.30am (1 hour before an appointment). The road course was covered in snow and at 7.00am they started cleaning the snow. As they were cleaning the snow, I came up to them and asked them about my appointment. They told me that I missed my appointment, even though I was sitting in the truck In front of office for the whole time, waiting on them to clean the snow from the yard. I wouldn't reccomend this school
We are very fortunate to have some of the best Third-Party State Testers in the State of Colorado test out of our facility. For your information, there are many things a Tester MUST accomplish BEFORE he or she can begin the test: verification of all driver documentation (driver's license, DOT medical card and the driver's commercial learner's permit), verification of vehicle registration and license, verification of VIN, GVWR, length of the vehicle and trailer, verification of type and class of the vehicle. For those of you who are unaware, the CDL test has to start on time according to State law, in this case, 7:30 am. The test actually starts when the Tester begins to read all of the test instructions for the pre-trip portion of the test. When the Tester was approached by this driver at 7:40 am, the tester deemed that the driver was late checking in and there was no time to administer the necessary and required driver / vehicle verification's, so the Tester informed the driver of the importance of checking in on time so that all of these necessary items could be completed in a timely manner and then the Tester cancelled the test according to State law. Our CDL Safety School testers perform hundreds of CDL tests every year and we are audited on a regular basis, just like all of the other schools in this state. We have never failed an audit and none of our testers have ever been suspended or disciplined. We pride ourselves in giving every single testee a fair CDL test performed according to the testing guidelines of the State of Colorado. Our testers and the State CDL Compliance Unit do an awesome job of making sure that all CDL tests are conducted in a fair, consistent, efficient and timely manner. If you want a great testing experience, please come to our school - you can register for the CDL test at www.A1CDLTesting.com.
Fantastic experience: Tommy is a great teacher and helps you learn by doing. Always making sure we were focusing on the areas in which I needed more practice, and truly helping me know what I was doing. The testing experience was great as well, with great testers and a straightforward experience. I truly felt prepared by Tommy's instruction and felt confident in my operation and inspection skills. Highly recommend CDL Safety School.
Luke, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review AND for the recommendation. You have a lot on the ball and being a bit younger, have a lot of safe driving years ahead of you. With what you were taught here, you have the ability to save many lives over the course of your driving career. Always keep it safe and legal - "on the black stuff between the green stuff". We wish you all the best in the days and months to come, and please stop in from time to time to say "hi". It was a lot of fun working with you!
Fantastic experience: Tommy knows how to train thanks for all the help and knowledge i appreciate it and feel safe and comfortable in the driver seat.....
Jason, congratulations on obtaining your CDL. Of the 6 CDL tests we had on Saturday, you achieved some of the best scores out of all the tests. It was a joy to work with you because you overcame a lot to qualify for your CDL - you didn't give up and most important, your attitude was always super-positive. A lot of guys don't realize that with a positive attitude, you can accomplish most anything that you desire. We are proud of you and hope that you continue to do well for your company. We wish you all the best!
Fantastic experience: Tommy is simply the best. Great motivator and very knowledgeable. I had a lot of fun learning and driving. I would highly recommend CDL Safety School to anyone. Clutch! Clutch!
Sam, thank you for such a good review! Those are quite some words coming from you! It was a real joy to work with you and give you one more life skill to add to your already full compliment of great skills. Thank you so much for all that you do in our Denver area in keeping us safe day in and day out. You were a great student and an awesome mentor - we wish you all the best!
Fantastic experience: Just completed the entry level cdl course and easily passed the cdl driving test due to the quality instruction I received. If you are serious about learning how to be a safe competent driver then check out this school. Lots of behind the wheel time and 2 to 1 student to instructor ratio. Wouldn't choose another school if I had to do it again. Highly recommended.
Robert, you were awesome yesterday when you took the CDL Test. You achieved 100% on the Pretrip Inspection, 100% on the Backing Skills and a 97.4% on the Road Test! Great job - we are really proud of you and your CDL accomplishments! Thank you for the kind words and please keep us posted - be safe out there!
Fantastic experience: I Graduated CDL Safety School on October 5th of this month. Tommy is a great teacher with a lot of patience, He is very personable and generally just a good guy. I had a lot of fun learning to drive with him and another student. He shows you real world issues to look for while driving a truck and what you should be paying attention to. Learning to drive the truck by driving is there motto and I can say it is true. Great experience and I couldn't be happier entering into job market. Thanks Tommy!!!
Ken, it was great having you at the school to participate in our weekend classes! You did very well throughout the training and got very close to 100% with your CDL test scores. I liked that you were very supportive of your training partner and showed some real team spirit throughout. I hear that you have secured a fuel hauling job with a very reputable local company and we wish you all the best in your new career. Please keep us posted and remember that you are invited to our July 4th Patriotic BBQ this next year. Thank you for the kind words in your review and please be safe out there - it was a pleasure working with you to obtain your CDL!
Fantastic experience: I passed my CDL-A test Last week . I highly recommend this school . Tommy is very professional and treat students with respect. His tips for backing , offsets and parallel parking are outstanding.
Shahbaz, you were awesome! Thank you for the 5-star review. It was great having you attend our school. All the very best to you and please keep in touch.
Fantastic experience: Excellent place to get a CDL. Tommy and his staff take great pride in personally training and instructing you every step of the way. Everything was exactly as advertised. I was in a truck the first day, and every day afterwards. No classroom hours, no wasting your time, and excellent equipment. I couldn't imagine a better place to learn the skills necessary to safely operate a big rig. I tell anyone who's even thinking about getting a CDL to come here.
Joe, awesome review and thank you so much for the kind words. You put your heart and soul into your learning experience here and we hope you are doing great! I can't remember when we've had such a smooth operator with that 9400i, to be honest, there have been quite a few guys that have mastered that truck and tanker trailer and you are right up there at the top! We wish you all the best and please give our regards to your family as you work to help them succeed as well. Anytime you want a great job referral, just let us know and I'll be happy to provide you with a list of great opportunities! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review, you were a guy who came in here and gave it all you had and we hope those efforts pay off for you in a big way!
Fantastic experience: Great school with great instructors!! Always making you feel confident with pre-trip, driving, ext. Always there for help and very patient! Thank you for the help and making me a safe CDL driver!!
Zach, thank you for the kind words. You and Colton were awesome to work with over the weekend! You and your company did the right thing by coming here to prepare for your CDL test which you both passed successfully. More than that, though, it's great to learn together about the safe operation of a CMV - at your age, with what you now know, you have the potential to save many lives over the course of your driving career! We wish you all the best!
Fantastic experience: Excellent business! Everyone was very professional and helpful. I really felt like they were understanding about how nervous I was, and on my side toward succeeding. I felt comfortable and would definitely recommend this place.
Kasey, thank you so much for the review and thank you again for choosing CDL Safety School when it came time to take your CDL A Test - we certainly enjoyed having you! Naturally, everyone is a bit nervous when testing; however, you handled it like a champ and did very well. All the best to you and stay safe out there!
Fantastic experience: CDL safety school can be broken down to 2 rules. 1. Don't break Tommy's stuff 2. Don't give up. It really isn't hard if you keep at it, calm down, and keep learning. Tommy does everything he can to help you learn to be safe. The class size helps ensure you get the time to have one on one training that is personalized to your learning ability. The homework helps to ensure you are prepared for the classes. The classwork helps cement the knowledge you will need day to day, the pretrip and driving skills will enable you to easily pass the cdl driving test. If you are having any difficulties and want to put in the extra hours to learn he will go out of his way to ensure you get the extra time you need. The goal of this school is in the name however, this is not the school to go to if you are only looking to pass a test. This is the school to go to if you are looking to be a safe knowledgeable driver that doesn't injure yourself or someone else. If you feel like your life, CDL license, and your fellow drivers lives aren't worth the money then go somewhere else. If you are ready to learn, both from Tommy and your own mistakes you won't fail. Tommy himself is a very warm, kindhearted and funny guy who will get you to laugh if your too worried and get you to get serious if your head to is stuck somewhere else. He can immediately pick up on the things you need to work on and get you on the right path to get it corrected. He cares about the drivers and will always be there with a pot of coffee or a bottle of water bright and early. I had an excellent experience there, and I would highly recommend this school to anyone that is on the fence about it for any reason. I consider myself a slow learner and sometimes my mind went blank on what the right thing to do was, with the guidance I received within the 3rd day of school I was easily driving through Arvada and Friday that same week I was driving in downtown Denver. Testing day I was nervous but after I had passed the test it was just like everyone told me, I really had nothing to be nervous about. This was seriously a solid life experience I will never forget. You will not regret going here. ..
Jason, this is about the most thorough review we have ever had! Good job! Obtaining your CDL at our school, I believe, is going to be a life-changing pivot for you and your family.! You gave me your best shot day after day and your attitude was awesome each and every day! It was great to see your daily progress and then to see you nail that CDL test, that was awesome. Obtaining an overall CDL Test score of 98%, combining the inspection, backing and road course was great to see! We wish you all the best and PLEASE stay in touch. We know that there are some great opportunities out there for you on this road through life. Be safe and take care!
Fantastic experience: After successfully completing the entry level class A CDL course with Tommy there is not enough good things I could say about the program. From day one it is very hands on and he gives you everything plus some to be successful, feel confident and safe. As a young student with no commercial driving experience 3-4 days in I had the pre-trip down, felt more then comfortable driving with Tommy and learned multiple backing techniques. While driving in the city, highways, mountains and just about all driving situations Tommy did a great job and I couldn’t be more confident with what I learned. I highly recommended this program to anyone interested in obtaining their class A CDL. I’m sure glad I went to CDL Safty School, Thanks Tommy!
Taylor, thank you for your review of our school! You were an excellent student who listened and worked very hard. You have the ability to listen closely to instruction, make the necessary adjustments and then remember to make those changes next time that same scenario appears. It was awesome to work with you - you have the ability to save many lives over the course of your driving career just be using the defensive driving techniques you learned while here at our school. We wish you all the best and we believe that you will have a very successful career!
Fantastic experience: What a great experience! Thank you! As a small business owner I know how much it takes to give every client personal attention. I always received quick responses to questions and concerns. Highly recommend!
Petra, thank you so much for the kind words. It was great helping you with your CDL Class A NTT training and testing. We hope you and your horses do well in the California competitions! All the very best to you!
Fantastic experience: Excellent school for learning the skills needed to get your CDL and be successful in a trucking career. Tons of time behind the wheel both in the yard and in all types of road, highway, and traffic situations, including mountain driving, traffic circles, etc. Run by Tom Rausch, who’s energy, commitment, and passion for the open road is contagious—and reputation impeccable. If you are thinking about getting your CDL, I highly recommend giving CDL Safety school a close look as you explore your options. I am glad I did. If you want even more info, ask Tom for my number and give me a call.
James, thank you so much for your review. You are one of those guys who just came in here and got it done. We have watched you grow in your new career and I believe that you are now one of the best drivers working for your OTR company. Thank you so much for all of the photos and texts - you keep me updated almost weekly, if not monthly! I'm a little jealous of your OTR trips up into beautiful Canada, especially over on the island. I've spent many years driving all over both the United States and Canada and there is a lot of beautiful country out there - I'm glad you're getting to see it all through the windshield of your brand new truck! All the best to you and drive safe!
Fantastic experience: Tommy and Johnny are superb in their passion to put out safe, quality drivers. They truly care about what they are doing and this school is the best education I have ever experienced. Their expertise and knowledge of the industry shows in their patience to make sure each driver trainee graduates equipped with the knowledge to succeed. Thanks you guys! I couldn't have done it without you!
Scott, we had so much fun together. Thank you for keeping in touch. You were awesome to work with and we certainly wish you all the best in the truck-driving arena. You have that rare ability to listen, change it up and then remember for the next time. All the best to you in your driving career. Please keep in touch!
Fantastic experience: Tommy and Johnny really know the ins and outs of truck driving. They thrive on passing the knowledge onto the novice and its not just about passing the state regulated cake test. For these two, it's a passion. Their ability to push your comfort level, keep you intrigued, while understanding your learners limit as a new driver and keep a safe relaxed comfortable learning environment is unmatched. Great academy, if you're looking to get in this business and find good work. This is the best place to start. I'll never be able to say enough about how much appreciation and respect I have for these two gentlemen. Thru personal hardship, I found the the bottom lying truth: these guys CARE! None the less, I'm honored being a graduate of CDL Safety School.
Nick, what can I say? You got no hesitation speaking what's on your mind and it was so good and pretty funny most of the time! I look back on you and Johnny and almost break out in stitches laughing from some of the good times I remember in the truck! Please keep in touch, it's been a while since we've heard from you - we hope things are going well. You were one of our best and we appreciate the kind words in your review.
Fantastic experience: CDL Safety School is one of the best decisions that I have made to further my driving career. Tom and John are very thorough and patient with their students. I felt relaxed in the cab and spent more than enough time behind the wheel training with them. I never felt like just another student being pushed through their school. They strive to keep their trucks and equipment all in tip top shape. They really do have a 5 star training program. I highly recommend CDL Safety School to anyone who is trying to acquire CDL license . Thank you again Tom and John for all your help!
Shane, thank you for the kind words. We definitely enjoyed working with you as you learned what safe CMV operation is all about. We are proud of the BTW hours our students get and we appreciate knowing that you received some good instruction here at the school. Please keep in touch and tells us how it's going for you in this industry! All the best and be safe out there!
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to learn! Tom & John know there stuff.. Would recommend anyone to attend if you wanna do it right. A lot of one on one & attention you get.. 5 star plus!
Juaquin, thank you so much for coming and being a such a great guy! Also, thank you for the kind words, we certainly enjoyed working with you. All the best to you!
Fantastic experience: Graduated with my CDL 10/21/17 started school on 10/10/17.This was a great school! Tommy is an awesome person who does his best to work with everyone no matter how much expierence you may have with clutching or driving a rig. John Farkus was mainly my trainer and you couldnt ask for a more patient,level headed trainer. They were both gentlemen who have no predjudice when it comes to training a female, for any ladies who are reading or thinking of going to this school. I went in here never even having driven a clutch vehicle and I left able to drive a 60+ foot flatbed diesel clutch around downtown Denver in 2 or so weeks. The class size is as good as you will find anywhere and if you need a few more hours to get something down, they understand! There was no weeding out and no setting me up to fail a test to milk more money out of you like some dishonest schools may try. Tommys an honest guy who runs an honest business and values his reputation. Good luck to future students, this is one of the best schools!
Samantha, thank you so much for the kind words - it was great to have you in our school and thank you for coming here to get you Class A CDL. Awesome attitude, listened very well, no bad habits with the clutch, lots of perseverance, good hand-eye coordination and a joyful spirit all made it very easy for us to help you reach your dream of obtaining your CDL. Please continue to keep us posted as you travel throughout life with your CDL. We look forward to hearing your adventures!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this school to anyone . Tommy and John treat you with the highest respect and answer any questions you have. They take the time to help you with your weakest skills and make them stronger. They want to make sure you are ready for your CDL license but mostly they want make you are a safe and aware driver for you and others on the road! Couldn’t say enough about these two and the way they train. Money well spent and looking forward on my new career, thanks again!
Matthew, we are excited for you to begin your new career in the trucking industry! You did very well in school and have a bright future. Thank you for the kind words and we look forward to helping you find the right job. As you know, for as long as you are in the trucking industry, you can always rely on us for job placement. We have a lot of very good quality trucking companies who look forward to hiring our students. All the very best to you!
Fantastic experience: We recently pruchased a Ford F350 and large 5th Wheel. The RV community suggests that you take a CDL safety class to become better and safer drivers and to be more aware while on the road. I found this CDL Safety School through google. We were lucky to get 4 hours of private lessons with the owner, Tommy. The time we spent with him was so informative and helpful. We initially wanted to go so I could learn how to tow the 5'ver in case of an emergency. My boyfriend really felt he had it all figured out, which he pretty much did. But there is so much you are not aware of that is different when you are in a larger vehicle. The rules change, your speed changes, the way you use your brakes, you have to be hyper aware, wind speeds, bridges, the list just goes on and on. Tommy was patient and very respectful and at the same time made sure to tell us how to adjust what we were doing to be safer. I hghly recommend anyone interested in RVing to take this class. you'll be surprised like we were, on how much you dont know and you will be a safer driver.
Dianna, thank you so much for coming to our school. I really enjoyed our time together, refreshing your driving skills and giving you driving tips for how to handle your rig safely while traveling. Many 4-wheelers travelling the roads around us do not comprehend the increased stopping distances, the lack of vehicle agility and the increased blind spots that we truckers and RVers have to deal with on a daily basis. As we discussed, driving is a lot like playing chess - you have to be 4 to 5 steps ahead in all of your driving decisions. My best advice to anyone driving a big RV rig - please keep plenty of space between you and the next vehicle ahead of you in your lane (more than 7 seconds) as it gives you much more time for perception, reaction and braking. Thank you so much for your kind words, Dianna. It was a joy to work with you and your RV. Your questions and insights were spot on and I really appreciated your enthusiasm for the safe operation of your rig. All the best to you as you travel across these beautiful United States!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Tom and Johnny are the real deal. If you go here, you won't be coming out as a driver, you will be leaving as an educated, safer driver. I felt that everyone here was truly happy to watch me succeed, and always helpful when I was worried about making it.
Jedidiah, thank you for choosing CDL Safety School. It was great to see you get your CDL A. You did awesome! All the best to you as you start your new job of moving heavy equipment. Please keep us posted and stop in anytime!
Fantastic experience: CDL Safety School is a top notch school worth every penny. The instructors are awesome and super patient. You get tons of hands on experience driving unlike some of the other schools. They prepare you for the test and give you the skills to get a job. Awesome school/instructors!!
Dean, thank you for the kind words. It was a joy to us to have you train with us here at CDL Safety School. We know that you have many more safe miles ahead of you and please keep us posted on your truck-driving career. You are always welcome to come back for a visit and we wish you all the best! Keep on truckin'!
Fantastic experience: Review is being written by Ryen Robinson. I attended CSL Safety School in May 2017. The best way to learn is to drive a semi truck is to drive. I was put in the semi truck on day 1 and drove for 2 weeks straight. Tom is an awesome instructor and I highly recommend CSL Safety School.
Ryen, we had some good times together in the truck, and you're right, you can only learn to drive by driving. There is only so much that can be taught in the classroom and then the rubber has to hit the road! We wish you all the best and please keep in touch!
Fantastic experience: Tommy runs the best school in the city, your in the truck the very first day learning how to actually drive a semi. Other schools do not do that. if you want to learn to drive a semi, get your CDL and feel safe and comfortable once in the workplace then CDL Safety school should be your clear choice.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience here! I did a Class A program with these guys and they had were really good at providing personal instruction, good equipment, and overall a very positive experience. Would strongly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I just went through a 2 week cdl class here. Tom Rausch is keen on giving personalized training to each student that comes to his school. Not a driver mill a school where you learn how to properly drive a class A vehicle. Highly recommend if your looking for the most value on the amount you spend. He won't give up on you unless you give up yourself.
Fantastic experience: Excellent school, excellent teachers, hands on experience. Teach you everything you need to know, always available!
Fantastic experience: My name is John and I am a third party CDL tester for the state of Colorado. I am proud to be affiliated with CDL Safety School because I firmly believe that we need to have safe qualified CDL drivers on our roadways today and that is what CDL Safety School is all about. Teaching people how to be safe, learning how to drive the truck with confidence and patience and making smart decisions to insure their safety and the safety of those driving around them. Tom is the best instructor I have ever met and he strives to take the time needed for each student to excel at being the best that they can be behind the wheel of a big rig. No school could be better for you to get the training you need!
Fantastic experience: All around good school teaching what you need to know hands on. Straight forward and to the point to get you're cdl the right way thank you very much for teaching me the skills needed to succeed.
Fantastic experience: I have been involved with trucking for over 30 years. I have reviewed several of CDL Safety Schools Drivers and find that other schools teach their drivers to pass the CDL Road Test but CDL Safety Schools drivers are taught to be above and beyond the test and be safe and efficient drivers.
Fantastic experience: Tom Rausch, his staff and the CDL SAFETY SCHOOL are excellent. Their attention to detail in training and equipping men and women for this type of profession are the best there is. They meet each and every students individual needs with lots of TLC. Without hesitation, I would recommend this school to anyone desiring the need for this type of instruction and education.
Fantastic experience: Tom's commitment to his students is second to none. He takes immense pride in his work and ensuring that each of his students is given individual attention and that they understand the operation and maintenance of a truck inside and out. As a business owner I have sent multiple employees to Tom and will continue to do so as his value to my company and their on the road safety is paramount to our company. Thank you Tom!
Fantastic experience: Small school and it shows. Personalized attention. I review many truck schools all over the country and worked at one myself for 11 years. This is a diamond in the ruff. Most truck schools give you the basics and that is fine for many. If you are looking for integrity, stop at this school. You won't be sorry.
