Fantastic experience: Tony and Steve were my instructors and they’re genuinely some of the best teachers and funniest guys I’ve ever met. They both lead by example and put things in a way that’s very easy to understand. Passed my CDL test on the first try. My examiner Terry was also one of the coolest and nicest guys as well. All around the Clark state guys are the best!

Fantastic experience: I just got my Class A CDL today. The instructors are very knowledgeable and are great at teaching you the information that you need. They go through step by step for everything and make sure you understand what is happening when maneuvering the tractor trailer and why it moves that way it moves. I highly recommend coming to this course if you are looking at getting your CDL. I had Steve and Tony as my instructors and they know what they're doing and know how to explains things in a way that you will be able to undertaker it. They're very patient and want you to succeed.

Fantastic experience: Best CDL school out there, I was apart of the weekend class and had Jim and Terry as instructors. Best instructors you can ever ask for. They will teach you everything you need plus some. This is the best cdl school out there, Eric who was my examiner, and Bob as my in class teacher. All really good teachers/instructors. Couldn’t ask for a better place to come to.

Fantastic experience: Steve, Bill, Tony, Bob and Terry are all great instructors. They teach you everything you need to know and give you the plenty of training hours to ensure that you pass. It is up to you to put the effort in, but they will give you 100% of their time to ensure you pass. Highly recommend. Had a great time. I had Steve as a instructor and couldn't have asked for anyone better!. Thanks Steve.

Fantastic experience: I Graduated on December 2nd 2023. I did the weekend classes, so my instructors were Jim and Terry. I can not say enough about these two gentlemen. It was so cold outside and rainy most days and these two men were so patient with us students as they stood outside while we practiced the skills. As they explained how we needed to do certain things, they also explained why it was important to do so. With their precise directions I was able to catch on pretty quickly. I recommend everyone to go through the Clark State CDL Program. I even went back and visited them yesterday bc they made a BIG impact on me. I am now and have been since a week after graduation employed with a wonderful company. Thank you Jim and Terry for helping me achieve my new life. Y’all are god sent and perfect for the program. God bless you both!

Fantastic experience: I just finished the course this week and had a great experience. Every instructor I met really cared about my success. They were helpful and made the class fun. I highly recommend getting your CDL through Clark State.

Fantastic experience: Clark State CDL School is an amazing program. Steve, Tony, Jim, Terry, Bill were all very knowledgeable. They are all excellent operators and instructors. From in the classroom to the range and on the road. In the classroom you gain confidence and knowledge of how to operate a tractor trailer safely and responsibly. When you get to the range and the road. They easily transfer that knowledge to actual driving. When you complete training at Clark state cdl school you will be ready to get on the road and start a career.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't ask for better people to train me. Bill, Jim and Terry are all great instructors who spend the time to help you and I would recommend anyone how is getting a CDL to go through this course!

Negative experience: I just simply needed a letter from the school saying I was going to attend the program so I could have a 2nd proof of residency to get my OH DL so I could take my CDL Tests. I recently moved here and that letter would have made getting a DL as easy as 1,2,3. Both times it didn't happen, and it seemed the representative for the program, Duane Hodge, didn't even remember important details such as if I even had a DL from another state. He also seems to not respect people's preferred method of communication, such as e-mail. Can't say if the program is good or not, I'm sure it's alright, but I can't trust it if this is the effort I'm seeing from the faculty for a prospective driver.
