This is a CDL program review. I am really happy that I came to this school for a Class A CDL and am looking forward to trying to get into their diesel maintenance program once my contract is completed with the Trucking Company that sent me to this school. If you have the opportunity to attend here is some advice bring sunscreen, an umbrella can be helpful in summer (you spend half of your day practicing backing maneuvers on a huge slab of blacktop. I didn't expect this and got burned, so heads up. ) Also, if you can try to register here on your own rather than through a trucking company. Why? Because when you do get hired by the trucking company you will earn more than if they put you through school. (Ask OneStop Career Centers about a WIAA grant, or Y.O. program if you are currently unemployed, I saw others that did this and it was genius, they do not have to repay their grant and are not contracted to a company as I am) Also the classes are smaller if you enroll directly. The evening classes are the envy of the school because at this time, they are very small and often students have a truck to themselves to practice on throughout class time as opposed to taking turns. This isn't guaranteed because who knows how many may be enrolled when you go, but this was the case when I went. Do this if you can. I appreciated the Instructors there. I learned so much more than just driving a truck. They taught me about being a TRUCK DRIVER. They gave me insight into how to stay safe. Each teaches you something that you take with you. As in any situation different teaching styles will work on some and not on others so each student was able to find a few that made sense to them, but they may be different than the ones that made sense to me. We all learn differently. I would thank Ms. Hill for giving me confidence as a female driver and teaching me how to correct myself on alley dock. I would thank Ms. Robinson for teaching me "Right tighty Lefty Loosey" when I am alley docking. I can't tell you how much that helped me. Mr. McCrone taught me how to parallel park like a champ. (Seriously, learn this from him) I enjoyed spending time in Mr. Shaheim's alley dock area and I think he is the one that finally got me able to do it the right way. Many tried. That was hard for me. He is so much fun he really makes you forget that you are standing outside in the blazing sun. I learned so much from everyone, but I think that Mr. King and Mr. Williams had the greatest impact on my driving and shifting and really taught me to respect that truck and how to be safe in it. If you want to learn the extras, like how to survive snow storms in Montana- just listen to what they tell you. They really put their heart into their students and their jobs and are great assets to those of us trying to learn. You will learn on excellent equipment, if you have a problem they will help you. They work hard to get you to where you want to be. Give them a shot. They have earned my recommendation, and I earned my CDL. Just like they promised. Read Less

The truck driving school is A1 from top to bottom. If you show dedication and a willingness to be coached up, this school will put you into a great life changing experience. It starts with Mr. Ricks who oversees everyday operations. He truly cares about your success. When people had home issue problems I seen this man hug a guy amhe didnt even know telling him stay focused clear your head, Im here if you need me. When I passed everything in school on the first try you could see his true passion of him that he cared and was happy. The guy who really brought the best out me was Mr. Lee Spurlock, who challenged me in the classroom to be great and obtain every piece of information that I could. Just by me listening to his words i breezed through passing everything in the first try. On the pad and on the road Mr. Green and Mr. Whitr taught me valuable info to pass my road test giving me excellent info to be ready for the road. Mr. Williams and Mr. King polished my driving skills giving me a sense of that truck driving swag. Ms Hill taught me a key step which is knowing how to fix yourself in every maneuver which help me pass my pad test with a breeze. Last but not least Ms. Robertson has my backing at a crazy ridiculous level and I couldnt thank her enough because it starts with a "straigh back". Best decision I made going to Jtech. They did so well training me that the day I finished orientation, I was shipped out on the same day after I graduated orientation. 5 stars from me. Thank you Jtech Read Less

I had a great experience last year with taking the CDL classes. I took the night classes that which were Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. I got my license in August of 2015 and obtained a job  with Gordon Food Service. After a year there I moved over to be owner operator doing local aggregate work. J-Tech has done well by me and my family we are so thankful. Read Less

Things we like about the school. 1. The finance people work hard to get you financial aide. 2. Mr Bairde is very knowledgeable and a great instructor. He helps you understand the practical application of what you are learning. 3. The grounds are well kept and very neat which is a good indicator that the school cares about small details. 4. The Military finance coordinator is well versed on coordinating GI Bill and other military education benefits. Whats to dislike? You make what you have of your situation. The school presents a well organized plan and they make it easy to learn. The only way you lose is if you chose to. Read Less

Super nice new facility. Amazing garage warehouse setups, all the newest stuff. They have deals with Napa and nhra to bring in the best tools and equipment. Staff is incredibly professional and courteous, if you are thinking about it after hearing the commercials or seeing a semi truck trailer ad, stop in and check it out. Read Less
