Fantastic experience: The two instructors at this location in paducah definitely held us to a much higher standard than just being able to pass and get a cdl by the time the state test came around it was second nature to pass with flying colors. In saying that Mr. Russ and Mr. Mike went out of their way to teach us what to expect in the real and definitely made it clear you get out what you are willing to put in. Based off all the knowledge they had and sharded to us it was very apparent these two are seasoned in their profession. Also the two instructors had limited resources but did an outstanding job to get us all up to speed.

Negative experience: This “class” is an absolute joke. You don’t get taught on how to pass your permit test that is all self learning it’s bullshit for the price you pay. The recruiters are scammers they’ll sell you into thinking it’s nice when it’s not at all. If you want your cdl stay at home download an app and study it and go take your permit test at the dmv this “university” is not worth it at all. You sit in class for a week listening to a girl from St. Louis while corporate is bugging you about other shit the whole time the “teacher” loves to talk about her kids husband ice cream how tired she is how hungry she is she talks about donating clothes how she wipes her shower down with disposable towels and soft served ice cream. Listen to me if you want to or not.

Fantastic experience: I just graduated from this program. The instructor, Mike, will make you fully prepared to operate a big rig before you get your license and start for a company. Overall, a great program worth the money and time. I feel confident after graduating to be on the road and provide and better income for me and my family. 10 out of 10 recommend. Mike Crawford will have you built to where you need to be.

Fantastic experience: Mike and Charley are both very knowledgeable drivers and instructors. If you come in with a good work ethic and listen to the steps they teach you then you will be one and done leaving with a CDL. Matt was very helpful during the process as well and all 3 are honest good men. I recommend this training facility to anybody looking to acquire a CDL.

Fantastic experience: The Paducah CDL resource center gave me the confidence and abilities to not only believe in myself to handle critical lessons on the road, but the persistence and strength from the teachers there, gave me a reason to keep my head on straight and get a career worth living. I loved every minute upon every day there, Mr. Mike especially is the best thing this school has in terms of a great teacher, but a better friend, his constant encouragement and wit got me through to the end and will be remembering his quips of wisdom while I'm on the road for years to come. Thank you for giving me a career that I only fantasized about. Definitely recommend anyone looking at getting into driving a class a tractor-trailer, to give this school your first consideration as a top choice to succeeding.

SavageTiger2525 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went here back in the end of July beginning of august of 2020. First class after the whole COVID outbreak. I was the only student Berry had. Did 2 weeks online and got my permit. That’s when I went to the school to get hands on. Berry was a really great teacher and person all around. He was the only instructor there when I was there because of the whole COVID deal. He taught me everything I needed to know to pass my road test and get my CDL the first time!! I was really nervous and he kept reminding me I’ll be fine just keep doing what I was doing. Berry was really patient and didn’t get worked up if you messed up. He stayed calm and explained to you what you done or asked if you knew what you did wrong? Ginger was really sweet and great also! If I had any questions about my paperwork or anything in general she got me the answer! This is a great school with the best people working there! Thank you Ginger and Berry for everything! I’m really glad I decided to go here to get my CDL and start this great new career!

Fantastic experience: This is a great school to learn the rules and regulations of the truck industry. at the same time teach you the right way to obtain your CDL's and willing to give you more personally time to learn if much needed. The Instructors Barry And Mark, Is Great Guys With A Great Personality. Made it more easy for me to learn and in a more comfortable way. I Couldnt ask for nobody else to teach what I need to know. At my first job orientation they wanted to know how I knew the answer to some random questions and tell them I learned it in school.
