United Truck Driving School

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough good things about united.the instructors are all excellent at their jobs.after completion of the course they don't push you to the DMV .if you don't feel ready ,they give you extra time in the truck. for me I had issues double clutching.Shifting a manual car is totally different from a semi.while they will go out of their way to make sure you pass the DMV you have to do your part by listening and follow their suggestions .While they also have automatic trucks I was never pressured to go that route,even though it would of been easier for them(and me).

Fantastic experience: I loved it! I'm prior service military and a handful of the instructors are also. The classroom instruction in the first two weeks was great; Dave is very informative and has an excellent style of delivery sharing the required information. They also have a simulator to prep for the truck yard. The last two weeks spent at their truck yard is when it gets real. What an experience driving vehicles this size. I primarily dealt with Ted, Jarrod, Sean and TC. They all have their own way of sharing information and providing training and that was perfect in helping you understand a topic. I totally recommend. Side Note: If you're a "thin-skinned" individual or you get your feelings hurt or are easily offended, you probably want to re-think coming here. These men have years of experience so if they're giving you correction, just take it! They know their stuff and are there to help. All you have to do is shut up, listen, ask questions for clarification, act on the information then wait/ask for feedback. I have zero experience with a tractor trailer and not only got my CDL permit in the first week, after I completed the 4-week course, I passed my test on 3/17/2025 and am now the proud owner of a Class "A" CDL. Excellent course - Thank you "United." April 4, 2025: Today is my first day with a Driver Mentor at May Trucking Company

Fantastic experience: Owner and office staff are very helpful and caring. Definitely give/teach you the information you need to be a safe truck driver and mostly importantly to help you get your cdl like I just got. Truck yard instructors are caring and very knowledgeable, great personalities, all have deferent ways of teaching so you get different perspectives on learning and it’s all correct. I didn’t get to work much with all instructors for the skills part but with the ones I did get to work with the most was Jarrod and Julian and both were very helpful and knowledgeable to learn from. I’m sure the other instructors are the same as well. Had lots of fun learning here, definitely recommend!

Negative experience: I had a horrible experience with UNITED DO TO INJUSTICE AND DISCRIMINATION AS A WOMEN OF COLOR, I WAS ROBBED OF THE PROPER TRAINING TO OBTAIN MY CLASS A'S, ITS A BUSINESS OF FAVORITISM, AND RACIALLY UNFAIR ...

Negative experience: Worst Trucking School Ever I paid nearly $7,000 for this trucking school, and it has been a complete disappointment. The classroom instruction was decent, but things quickly went downhill when we moved to the yard where the trucks are. The conditions are appalling: the trucks' air conditioning barely works, making it unbearably hot, and the practice road is so dusty and full of holes that it's nearly impossible to focus. While the staff are amazing and do their best under the circumstances, the overall conditions are unacceptable. The bathrooms are in poor condition—there's no place to wash your hands, so everyone ends up using the restroom and then getting into the trucks without proper hygiene. This is especially unsanitary and unpleasant. Additionally, they provide water in the classroom, but there’s nothing available on the yard, which makes the already tough conditions even worse. Instead of spending so much time on the yard during the hottest parts of the day, it would be better if we were driving more and actually learning the skills we’re paying for. Overall, for $7,000, the quality of instruction and the condition of the facilities are far below expectations. I really wish I had done more research before enrolling. I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone, especially women, as the environment is simply disgusting.
