Our comment from DrivingSchools.Directory about NADTA:

NADTA is a premier training facility for aspiring truck drivers, offering a comprehensive educational experience in a supportive environment. Many students have praised the dedicated and knowledgeable instructors, who provide detailed assistance throughout the training process. Positive feedback highlights the friendly atmosphere and the facility's commitment to ensuring students are deeply informed about truck operations and safety procedures.

The school emphasizes following DOT regulations closely, with an accreditation process that assures students they are well-prepared for their CDL exams. Alumni report that with the right dedication to their studies, they can achieve significant success and gain valuable skills needed in the trucking industry.

While most reviews are favorable, some students expressed concerns about limited hands-on training and feelings of discrimination and harassment from the environment. A few individuals noted a need for better organization and practices that could enhance their learning experience.

Ultimately, despite a few criticisms regarding the training approach and facility conditions, NADTA remains a highly regarded academy for those looking to embark on a career in trucking, with many graduates leaving with solid foundations and opportunities in the field.

Fantastic experience: Could Not AND I MEAN NOT ASK for better training and trainers ANYWHERE ELSE BAR NONE. Absolutely nowhere else would give me a start until CRST came up and gave me my chance. So I began school the week before last Graduated yesterday thanks to the trainers here at NADTA.

Positive experience: At this point I am not too impressed yet so I will 3.5 star it...I need more time to check organization and operation...nice facility though however...it is what happens that is most important and listening to the students it needs some tuning up it sounds like......

Negative experience: The instructors there doesn't show any professionalism. Some are not tactful. Some look and talk down to you. Know concern of building you to become better in the training that you are trying to do. To become a driver that you may provide for your family. It's not a healthy atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Stickers for making sure you got the training right. They ensure they are following DOT procedures to the l letter of the law. They take their certification seriously which means when you pass you have earned it.

Negative experience: They will get you your CDL with an Automatic restriction on your License so you cannot drive standard, training is limited and you will still need lots of practice performing backing maneuvers upon graduating, you will get your license with little experience so be prepared to learn on your own as you get out there in the real world. The Staff were mostly friendly but some it seems doesn’t want you to succeed. Upon me returning home to get my CDL I ran into an issue saying that I didn’t pass my road test, so keep your envelope!

Fantastic experience: To be honest Nadta is a great school to where everybody can pass with flying colors as long as you commit yourself to actually studying. No one really goes through the school as a lone wolf if the do they're the ones who usually get sent home first. Thanks to J Stylz, Big Mike, Rocket just to name a few that played in important roles in helping me graduate. Now that I look back at going through the school and almost getting a "White Hat" I'm glad I got a black hat made me a better driver today knowing that everyone makes mistakes.
