Mid-America Truck Driving School, Inc.

Fantastic experience: I thought I knew all there was to know about CDL and was so surprised of the new things I learned. Things like “ how to brake going down a steep hill, proper merging, backing and About what to keep an eye on while you’re traveling. Great instructors that really care. Worth the money.

Fantastic experience: Not finished with trucking school yet but so far the instructors are nice and thorough in teaching, they are the only school who called me back and was eager to have me enroll. The price was very fair, and enrollment was easy.

Fantastic experience: I give this school an overall rating of 5 stars but will honestly say this school does need room to grow. It has potential to be the best school but isn’t there just yet. More organization and professionalism is needed. But the team passion is there and that is was what I needed. I loved every one of the instructors, I learned something new from each and every one of them. I graduated a month ago, and can say I feel comfortable and confident driving a truck. If you attend this school, You will learn what you need to learn to pass all tests guaranteed. I can’t wait to see how much the school grows through the years.

Fantastic experience: I want to give a Thumbs up to Mid America Truck Driving School in NorthWest Arkansas.. I enrolled approx 2 yrs ago and passed my Test first Time ! The Class is "book work" that is really important but the Hands on Driving by the Trained Instructors is crucial if u want to learn and make Driving a Career! What I love about this Staff & Instructors is that I have called several times since graduating and asked questions such as GAWR & GVWR weights, Hiways & Bridges that Mid America took the time to answer all my questions. Even more that our call ended with " Todd, if u ever need anything, please give us a call back!" I give this Business 6 *!!! Thanku and I highly recommmend anyone to give em a try!

Fantastic experience: The guys teaching know what they're doing. These guys have knowledge and have been driving for many years. They also know what it takes to pass your CDL

Fantastic experience: It came down to crunch time for me, because my permit was set to expire soon. Doug was extremely helpful getting me worked into the schedule with a 1/2 day of instruction and also making sure I finished my skills testing before the deadline. He was also thoughtful enough to call me later in the evening to be sure I’d gotten the hard copy of my CDL at the revenue dept. Be forewarned……..he’s a busy man, and can be difficult to contact. Persistence is the key, and once you get in contact with him everything goes smoothly. You really helped me out Doug, so thank you again.

Fantastic experience: Great place great instructor good equipment great atmosphere..

Fantastic experience: Absolutely great place to learn the info you need and pass your cdl test.

Fantastic experience: Great place good instructors and couldn’t have done it with out there help

Fantastic experience: I obtained my CDL here. They are a new school so they’re still getting the system together but the instructors are awesome! Mike, Rob, Bob, Juan, and John will get you rolling in no time!

Negative experience: Payed for my tests with cash Doug said he did not have change on him and that he owed me money on my second attempt at the test. After waiting a ridiculous amount of time he failed me in a matter of minutes. Fast forward 8 months, I've called countless times and get no response. So not only has this place robbed me of my time it has also literally stolen my money. I've talked to the state police and they said there was nothing they could do. Horrible establishment

Fantastic experience: Real nice guys to work with!

Fantastic experience: I graduated from this school back in 2006 (I think). Since then I have made more money than I ever thought I would. Im glad to see that Mr Carter is still involved and happy to see how MATDS has grown. They gave me all the necessary tools to find a job in the industry, thrive, and excel. It really turned my life around because I just wasn't on a great road before then. They really put me in the drivers seat on the road to success. Thanks, Doug!

Negative experience: Well when I went to that school, they were short on staff, some of the staff play the favorite people, n they only took you out 15 min, it was just not worth it to be honest, out of all the people there there was one person that took time n explain correctly, n had passion, wow can remember his name he's the youngest there n he's part-time but I want to say to him thank you....

Fantastic experience: I attended and graduated from this school starting in March 2021. I needed a flexible schedule due to me having a full time job already. Doug had no issue helping me create a schedule that would ensure my success in the course. The equipment at the school is top notch. The knowledge shared by the instructors is vast and extremely helpful. I had plenty of time to drive, practice backing up, and do pre trip inspections every day. I highly recommend this school and this staff.

Fantastic experience: I attended MATS last year. I had never been in a truck before so I was nervous to say the least.The instructors at MATS were helpful and patient. With there help I got through and was able to get my CDL. With in a month I was hired on with a successful trucking company. MATS is a good school and can help get your CDL.

Fantastic experience: Big classroom, nice trucks, helpful teaching staff. Learned a lot in 5 weeks.

Fantastic experience: The instructors are knowledgeable, patient and make things easy to understand. They spend the time with you to make sure you get it.

Negative experience: Son paid Doug almost $400 just to come take the driving part of the CDL test. (This money was for 3 attempts), Made him wait 2 hours before even letting him test then failed him saying it was just a simulation and he wasn't supposed to actually press on the brake. Son has been trying to call him back to schedule another test date for OVER A MONTH!! Doug will not answer the phone, will not text him back and will not return messages. $400 down the drain!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

Negative experience: My son moved to AR to go to this school. He was told to wait a few weeks to start since he would be 19 years old. We where also told it would be hard to find him a job but they would help him. He got his CDL about a month ago. No one is helping him find a job. He's also being told by company's no due to him being under 21 years old. I feel like they charged him way to much and know he wouldn't be able to get a job. If Doug will step up and help him find a job I will think better about this school.

Negative experience: The person I talked to was rude said he spoke to me before he had not I left a message a week ago but never had a call back was hoping to go to this school but I guess not
