International CDL: Reviews

4.1/5 (30 Reviews)

Negative experience: Place is horrible, paid over 10k just to attend the classes. Everything is basically self taught so I genuinely have no idea why it is so expensive. Wasn’t able to attend classes for 2 months due to a serious injury. When I came back and asked to continue I was told I would need to pay an additional 5k to get back to class. This place is a total scam.

Fantastic experience: Got to work at my own pace. All the staff, owners, manager, yard instructors, and road instructors, were awesome, knowledgable, patient, and really cared about your development at the school. I passed my test on the first try and the biggest thing you should know is, the man giving me the exam at the dmv said "when we get students from international cdl, we know they will know their stuff, they really drill the knowledge into you." For the dmv examiner to praise the school like that, should tell you all you need to know about this great school...

Negative experience: Owner was very judge mental. I went in there just to hear my options and felt compelled to pick class A with little to no understanding of how things worked. Everytime I showed up, I felt neglected and judged by the owner. Communication or lack there of is the main reason I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Negative experience: I was taught completely incorrect information for one and two I was taught by another student without a Cdl. Don’t bother going to this school you’ll be charged to teach yourself while all the teachers hold down a picnic table from blowing away.

Fantastic experience: My experience at International CDL was great. One of the things that set them apart is their hours, you basically can show up anytime you have availability and they’re even open Saturday and Sunday so it’s very convenient. The instructors genuinely care and take the time to assess your strengths and weaknesses and work with you to keep you engaged and moving forward. I got my class B in about a month. Every day I attended class I was on the road learning to shift and drive in traffic and also training in the yard doing maneuvers, air brake and pretrip inspections. Thank you Matt, Nick, Alberto, Vince and Pete. You guys are very knowledgeable and genuinely good people. Next winter I think I’ll be back to upgrade to class A.

Fantastic experience: Best truck driving school ever I went to Nettts for 8 months 5 days a week and never got my class a cdl and than they kicked me out said I was M.A.T which means maxed out of time so they said there is nothing else they could do but told me I could get my cdl in 6 months I did financial aid had to pay like $14,000 in student loans I came to international and I only had to pay $6,000 to get my license I only went to school on the weekends and only took me 4 months to get my licenses they are patient they don’t give up on you or kick you out the best staff in driving instructor and owners Pete and Wayne Matt and Vinny everyone thanks for everything I’m they have in house financing way better than a student loan don’t waste your time or money on Nets this school is the cheapest and the best school hands down thanks for giving me and my family a great career!

Fantastic experience: Hello, I have all the rating for International cdl school. well, I just got to say that if your meant to be a driver this is the place where you will know if you are meant to become a tractor trailer driver. I had seen people come and go from this place and most of them just like me had never touched a truck in a life time and yes there might be a waiting time to go on the road but please tell me if the other schools have 30 trucks one for an individual student to go on the road for a drive? they have you on a two month schedule doing something while others are on the road. Pete and the whole gang are cool they will work with you if you ask for help. yes unfortunately they might be short handed for so many students but they try their best to be for you if your put your heart to learn, don't be so hard headed make an effort and pay attention to others because that's one thing I can say they all help each other in that school. best of luck to all a very happy graduated student that made a great carrier out of this school and happy to ever become a driver. thank you all at Int. School

Highly recommended by the great experience I had there . Once again thank all for the help and for helping obtain my commercial driver license .I got my license in less the 4 months .

Fantastic experience: Most affordable in area, you're in a truck 1st day, progress at your own pace, incredible instructors, no rigid schedule so you can show up when you have time, they understand everyone has jobs, kids, and family obligations... Brand new road trucks, and a good size practice yard. No pressure environment they won't rush you and you don't have to test with the DMV until you are ready. Don't bother jumping through hoops with nettts (more than one instructor here has taught there and stated they're more expensive and less flexible) if you want to get your class a or b and do it in a way that doesn't overwhelm you or make you nervous behind the wheel, call these guys and they'll take care of you. Can't recommend them enough.

Negative experience: Not impressed, you have to fight to get out on the road, the most important part of driving and you have to arrive at 4:30 am on a Saturday/Sunday morning to drive.

Fantastic experience: I went to this company with plans on changing my life this would be my second time in ten years trying to get a cdl I had already went to one school and graduated with no cdl license I was told about this school and decided to give it a try within days of attending I knew I would receive my certification. The owners Pete and Wayne make there self available more often you see Pete around grounds consistent helping talking giving instructions and he has the best staff they put there heart into students and make sure you go to pass Jay is a pusher very hard worker and new to the field but you wouldn’t be able to tell by his work ethics he told me I was gonna pass and believed in me enough and showed it . Darryl the goat pushed me and helped me perfect the maneuvers Al showed he cared and gave me confidence and security I needed they all play a part in moving you forward Dave , Leo, Mike these are the staff and trainers that will get you a class A class B and do it with love care and dignity international cdl #1 this is the best school best price best teachers go here and get a chance of receiving your cdl on your first try five star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Call and ask for Pete tell him I sent you good luck

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility, professional instructors, friendly office staff and employees. Much better service and value than other big name schools. Tons of road time with day, evening, and weekend availability. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: BY FAR the best in the business! I was enrolled with them for over 2 year's (COVID-19/personal issues) and watched this school go from trash to treasure! Used to have to up hours before opening on Saturday and Sunday to get out on the road. Now you can be in the yard any day of the week and possibly get out. Owner's Pete and Wayne are some of the most down to earth guy's I've ever met! Once they hired Jay (instructor) the place has become A-1! This guy is a work horse! Only way to describe him is that he Loves what he does! All of the instructors are good but there's something about this guy! Don't listen to the old reviews about time on the road, they've increased their man power and in doing so, they have made themselves the best school around! Don't waste your time or money looking any further than this school. In fact, hurry up and get down there and get enrolled while they are still charging the cheapest price before they raise their rates because they have improved enough to be able to do so! International CDL is by far the BEST bang for your buck $$$. All of the instructors are good, knowledgeable and eager to help. Thanks International!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Paul & Pete was great very nice people very respectful and honest. They are really good people and they want to make sure that you are ready for the test to pass, not to rip you off for your money. I highly recommend this company for any looking to get their CDL Mr King

Negative experience: Wasted $6,000 ALL CASH for a class A. Finally gave up with them. This is a self taught school a piece of paper and a dvd is what you get then go in yard and teach yourself manuevers. Only 1 Good instructor (Darryl) tries his best and cares, he is only instructor for 30+ guys. No road time ! sat & sun only have to be there before 5am to sign up to go out and if you get out its for 30 mins. Only Take you out during the week, the day before your Road Test ! Save yourself Your money and time and go somewhere else This place is just a money grab

Fantastic experience: My son has enrolled here, the school comes highly recommended by former students. The process was great and very covid19 safe.

Negative experience: If you don't want to waste time and money, don't go to this school, my boyfriend went to this school and He was very frustrated that they never took him out on the street, because they don't have enough trucks to go out, they only have 2 trucks for 30 students and They only use it on Saturdays, I think that 2 trucks are not enough for so many students. For 3 Saturdays, he went to school and could not go out because to be able to go out you have to arrive at least at 5 in the morning to be able to sign up to a list and if is two in the afternoon even if you are on the list, you will not be able to go at highway, because they close at that time And on weekdays they don't take anyone out on the street.

Fantastic experience: If you're reading reviews you're probably debating between your options. In fairness i never attended the other schools so i can't say anything bad or good. But this is THE BEST decision i made after reviewing several schools. Good luck. KEY POINTS 1. YOU'RE IN A TRUCK DAY 1! 2. FINANCIALLY IT MAKES MORE SENSE.* 3. ALL THE STAFF ARE OR HAVE BEEN TRUCK DRIVERS. YRS OF EXPERIENCE.(NO SALESMAN B.S) GREAT PPL. 4. YOU GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN 100% 5. AGAIN!!! YOU'RE IN A TRUCK DAY 1 (FIRST 1/2HR) * financial aid *longterm its cost less *man/woman up and invest in yourself. again good luck.

Fantastic experience: I compared this school to the other big school in the area that offers financial aid. After doing the math the financial aid program was too expensive. The other big school also tried to tell me to start immediately. I don't like being pushed by a salesman. I decided to visit International and was very surprised at how different the experience was. I met with Pete who was great explaining things. I needed a document faxed, and he did it when he said he would. Pete was also not "pushy", he understands family commitments. Overall the right decision. At the end it's a much cheaper school. I'm glad I wasn't fooled by the financial aid gimmick. I feel this school is much more student friendly than the big name school. I was in class for one day and the next I was already behind the wheel. Awesome! the other school told me it would take two months before I got behind the wheel. I have not regretted my decision to come here.
