I was in the school maybe 2-3 years so I do not know if Mathew the fellow wit red hair is still there. But If he is I owe him and the school a sincere apology. Took me a while to figure out that my problems are just that mines. No one should get the short end of the stick because you are not at peace. So with that being I apologize to Matt and young lady that worked at front desk from my disrespect and to the school for the lies I tried to spread online about it. Even if I did take it down immediately it shouldn’t have happened in the first place. They were only offering me an opportunity that I wasn’t prepared for mentally nor physically at the time. So again my sincere apologies. Thank you for your time!! Read Less

I attended school from November 27th with a graduation date of December 22nd. After getting behind the wheel I realized the scope of what I would be doing day in and day out and realized the trucking life was not for me. As far as classes go, they were top notch! Knowledgeable instructors and great teachers. They outline everything you will need to get your permit and help you study for the test. After deciding it wasn't for me, I received my refund for the amount stated in the paperwork, in the timeframe that was promised. Matt and the staff are complete professionals. They know what they are doing and I saw first hand how much they cared about the students. If I wanted to go back, I definitely would choose Apex! Read Less

This is the best school in the Midwest hands down! From the time you walk in the front door its people who are committed to teaching you how to drive and obtain your CDL. Matt the recruiter is great! He is very knowledgeable about the school. They mean what they say! I was able to get financing to go to the school. The instructors know what they are doing and know how to teach! This is not a one truck school! πŸ˜‚ They have plenty of equipment for the students. I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else. If you want good quality training Appex is the place to be! Thanks Matt, Jeff, Ricky, Sergio, and Rob! I will definitely visit! Read Less

I am writing this review because I used the positive reviews to select this school. This school did exactly as they said they would do. The instructors taught me the basic skills I needed to pass my CDL test. I had my struggles but the staff worked together to fine tune my skills and I was able to pass the test. I was able to take the test in the truck I learned to drive in. This is big! Every truck is different and I felt very comfortable in this truck. The instructors really care that you pass and will be a safe driver. Well worth the investment. I highly endorse this school! I am interviewing today with the company that I targeted from day one. Thanks for everything APEX! Read Less

This is a great school. I passed the cdl test the first time I took it thanks to the excellent training provided by all the instructors. One of the greatest skills they teach is the ability to problem solve, cause trucking ain't always pretty. Sergio and Ricky are the instructors in the yard, and teach you all the backing maneuvers needed for the cdl exam. They are a wealth of knowledge about trucking in general, and they both have incredible patience. (For realz) Mickey and... James are the road instructors, and both are excellent in their training skills. Mickey was the instructor I was assigned, and I can't say enough great things about him. I had a frustrating day, and he would NOT let me give up...period. We worked through it, and it made me stronger because of that. Women are beginning to enter trucking at a faster rate than in the past, and are finding that this is such a great investment in their future. There were quite a few women in school with me. When I was there it averaged about one a week. That was unexpectedly awesome. In no other career are you guaranteed to find work right out of school, and high paying work to boot. I had a great job waiting for me, and keep getting other offers daily. Apex pledges to continue to help with job placement well after your graduation, because now your family. And I believe them. If you are considering trucking, this is your school. I would recommend this school to anyone that truly wants a better career for you and your family. Ε½iΕ«rΔ—ti daugiau Read Less
