Cody Dutton03/05/2024Great class. Larry is a great instructor. They definitely get you ready for your test. They get you ready in 1 week what takes other schools 6 weeks. I would suggest if your thinking about getting your cdl to come to CDL Assist.
Bobby Barker29/04/2024There really nice people an really help you out I recommend them to anyone that has some knowledge on driving
Cody Carroll27/04/2024Highly recommended
Duane Coldiron26/04/2024My experience with CDL Assist was very positive. The information provided before the in person classes was very helpful, but only if you take the time to learn it. Read their website closely…it is fast paced and intended for those people with some trucking skills. The instructors are willing and able to teach you the maneuvers you need to know to obtain your CDL. Nice family business. Thanks for the “CDL Assist”
Robby Ray25/04/2024Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Coming into this course knowing it was only a 4 day program, I was nervous. They have great instructors though and they were able to teach the program very well. The instructors are all cool and make the program fun. When it's time for class A, this is the school I'll be coming to. Thanks guys, especially Zach!
Justin Williams20/04/2024Great group of instructors and staff. This is a fast pace class with all the knowledge you will need to get your CDL special thanks to my instructor Eric King for helping with the everything, included the nervs on test day
eddy richard09/04/2024CDL Assist was great. The staff are friendly, courteous and kind. Instructors are skilled and knowledgeable. My instructor Zach did a wonderful job presenting all the knowledge and skills needed to help me pass my Class A and even put the extra hours in. Thank you CDL Assist
Chris Poore09/04/2024Very knowledgeable place. Nice people and would definitely recommend
Anthony Carpenter09/04/2024Cdl assist was absolutely incredible. My instructor was Ron and he normally doesn't teach a class because he's a manager there. Ron was very patient and when I was struggling he was able to help get me through the area I struggled in and made everything super easy to remember. This is seriously the place to go. It's fast pace and you must be willing to take in every word they tell you. Be ready to learn and you will succeed.
Joshua VanDyne04/04/2024CDL Assist is a top notch company. The instructors are very knowledgeable and very helpful. The support staff are very nice and professional. I have recommended CDL Assist to several people looking to upgrade their licenses to CDL. Thank you
