Alpha Truck Driving School

Fantastic experience: very happy to have chosen this school, they adapt to your schedules if you have a current job and you're interested in taking classes for your CDL this is the right place. The instructor Pedro is one of the best in this school, when you get to practice in the yard with him you will realize what I am talking about, a huge advantage that, it stands out a lot that is bilingual so you can understand yourself without problems.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience in this school the staff are really nice, any questions I had when I was in the classroom Alejandra always found a way to answer any questions that I had, also shoutout to Lucas, Chris, Pedro, and Dan I see the passion on teaching and making sure that all of the students become professional truck drivers

Fantastic experience: Very good school for price

Fantastic experience: Wonderful instructors, explain everything very well and do their best to guide students.

Fantastic experience: Alpha Truck Driving School is the perfect place for anyone looking to get their CDL A or B license! Friendly staff, knowledgeable instructors and great curriculum.

Fantastic experience: Very kind and friendly place to get your CDL. All of the instructors were very helpful and hands on with everything. Shout out to Pedro and Lucas !!! Great instructors!

Fantastic experience: Great experience. They helped me with everything that I needed. Pass on the first try!

Negative experience: This school is terrible, I don't know how there are people who recommend this place to get the CDL. I had a bad experience with this school and I really don't recommend it to anyone. I'm not one to give reviews but in this case I feel scammed by this school. INSTRUCTORS YELL AT YOU, DISCRIMINATE AND ARE ABUSIVE TO STUDENTS. IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT ENROLLING IN THIS SCHOOL I SUGGEST YOU FIND ANOTHER SCHOOL, DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY BECAUSE THEY DON'T TEACH YOU. THEY ALSO PUT 3 STUDENTS INSIDE THE TRUCK AND THEY HAVE TO SHARE THE DRIVING HOURS, SO YOU ONLY DRIVE FOR 15 TO 30 MINUTES, IF THE INSTRUCTOR LIKES YOU, YOU CAN DRIVE LONGER. Of the 20 hours of road driving they offer, they only gave me 2 and an instructor denied me 4 hours and I lost the rest of the hours watching how the other students drove. I reported it to the office, who did nothing since the owner is a friend of the instructors. They only gave me 1 hour of the 4 that they denied me. I took the driving test for 2 times at the DMV and I did not pass which led me to look for another option outside of school and with that I passed my driving test at the DMV I now have my CDL. The school reported to FMCSA that I completed my 160 hours and now the school not want to give me my Certificate arguing that I violated the school's policy when they violated their policy when they did not give me full driving hours because they put 3 students on the truck to save them money and the instructors disrespected me.

Fantastic experience: Flexible with hours. Very professional. They make it easy to accomplish your cdl. Will recommend

Fantastic experience: Great school I owe all to Luka and Santiago for teaching me how to up shirt and down shift great teacher and a great program!!

Fantastic experience: Was good school for not knowing anything teachers were great come down and get your CDL Al Alpha!!!!!!!!!

Positive experience: Lukas, Martin, Santiago, and Daniel are the best guys to learn Class A CDL on the ground. Make sure they are there to teach. Anyhow, it took a long time to refund my DOT Physical that I paid. So getting refund is not easy.

Fantastic experience: I definitely recommend this school. They have an excellent staff the instructors are very good and patience,they help me a lot during the all process to get my cdl.

Fantastic experience: This school got me prepared for my CDL test in 5 months and everything went great. Santiago was a great teacher at the Elgin campus and my on the road instructors were all great and had me ready for my test, which I passed on my first chance!

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: I'm really happy that I have passed my test with Alpha truck driving school they trained me well to be enough for the test

Fantastic experience: The instructors are the best, great school I would recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Alpha for my class B cdl, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. From start to finish, the entire experience was top-notch. I was impressed by the company's attention to detail and commitment to safety. Their trucks are well-maintained, and I felt confident that I had the right tools to pass the CDL test. I had a great experience and had some fantastic instructors that helped me along the way.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience throughout my time at Alpha. Santiago was awesome & extremely informative. He definitely directed me in the right direction to get on the right track to learn what I needed to pass the course. I did the 160/hr manual class A course & I couldn’t be happier.

Fantastic experience: horrible school!

Fantastic experience: I graduated from Alpha on March 8th. Let me tell you it was no joke. It was raining on my test day and the roads were a bit slippery and the traffic on the road didn’t help either. But with the training I got from Alpha, I was able to handle it and obtain my Class A Manual CDL. School The school I went to was the Elgin location. The facility was kept extremely clean. And the staff there consists of an Instructor (Santiago), AWESOME GUY BTW, and 2-3 receptionists, lovely knowledgeable women. They are there to help you every step of the way in the classroom and also help with financing options. The Training The training consists of 160 hours. 100 hours in class which consists of videos, lectures and training simulators. There you will study your retro packet and your air brakes. YOU MUST LEARN AND MEMORIZE THEM BEFORE YOU MOVE ON TO YOUR YARD TRAINING. 20 hours of observation. Basically you’ll stay outside looking at a truck parked on the side of the yard and using your packet you will need to look around to see the truck, all its parts, and simulate your pre trip and air brake exam. The Instructors Lukas- This guy is no joke. He was with me every step of the way. He’s very tough but also very knowledgeable. He will tell you straight up what you’re lacking and work with you to correct them to make absolutely sure you pass your exam THE FIRST TIME. I did the manual exam and if it wasn’t for his drill Sargent approach to teaching I probably wouldn’t have passed. I owe it to him that I passed my road test. Thanks Lukas. Santiago- This instructor was there on my first trip in the road. Let me tell you I was nervous as all hell in that truck. This instructor is very technique based. I had a million things running through my mind. But he was able to calm those nerves and guide me through the proper procedures to make it back to the yard safely. I even lost gears at an intersection and was able to recover thanks to him. Thanks Santiago. Danny- This guy was hilarious! He was there to teach me a technique when doing my skills that helped me pass my skills portion of the exam. The man has YEEEEEARS of experience and an abundance of knowledge. Also the guy has story’s that’ll knock the fear right out of you. His approach to teaching is very visual and has no problem breaking down your weaknesses. Thanks Dan for all your help man. I just want to say thank you to all the instructors there. I know it wasn’t easy teaching me but thanks to you I’m already on the road and on my way to a very successful and profitable career. (Ps. I told you I’d pass Lukas) See you on the back end…

Fantastic experience: I Definitely recommend Alpha Truck Driving School; they have affordable prices with great instructors. I went from having no experience driving with clutch to feeling confident. I would like to show appreciation to Santiago and Daniel for supporting me all the way through and being licensed in less than 6 months for CDL A manual.

Positive experience: It's been okay

Fantastic experience: Thanks to all the instructors. Appreciate all hard work and effort you invested in me.

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed everything this school had to offer. Besides the affordable tuition everyone was willing to help/train. The front desk girls are wonderful. The in class instructors Chris and Jerry do everything possible to make sure you fully understand the pre trip inspection. The yard instructors are very helpful. I had the pleasure of working with Daniel Lucas Martin Maciek. I would recommend them all for your trainer. All in all zero complaints and grateful for the teacher's I had.

Fantastic experience: Let me tell you this now, Alpha is one of the top best schools to go to get your CDL license. They have a lot of benefits and the staff is there to push you harder in order for you to feel ready for the big day. I live east of O’Hare and have 3 CDL schools around me but nothing beats Alpha. Their pricing is amazing and they care about you. I had problems with other schools with them not taking care of me and or not being flexible with my schedule. If you are a busy man or women and want to get ur CDL license, Alpha is one easy and flexible way to get your License. Thank you, for making my experience amazing and memorable.

Fantastic experience: Everyone at Alpha wants to see you succeed. The staff and owner are really nice and knowledgeable people. They make sure you are ready to start your new career with the knowledge you need. Highly recommend training with them!
