How to Pass Road Test Enrollment Form

Midwest truck driving school has its own experience like none else, from class to seat time it’s a great time. Bill is a great instructor in the class and on the road.
Great school and staff! Zach was very helpful getting signed up for class, Bill is very knowledgeable with the class work and Bob is great for the on road instruction.
It is a good school to take . You learn alot of stuff u might not know
A school that sets you up not only to pass but to succeed in your future of driving CMV. Dave is an awesome/wise instructor with lots of extra tips for driving CMV. Bill was my main instructor for in the classroom best teacher I’ve had for learning anything. Along with all the other instructors at Midwest they are all awesome and know exactly what they are doing and how to set you up for success.
The training, staff, and overall experience is amazing! Really enjoy working with Dave and would highly recommend the course!
I recently added the hazmat and tanker endorsement to my CDL. The classes at the Midwest Truck Driving School were very informative, they included a great deal of pertinent information needed to pass the exams, as well as other resources to help you prepare for your state exams.
Instructors did a great job and answered any questions I had while attending the CDL class. I would definitely recommend this school to people in the area looking for their CDL endorsement.
Great experience, instructors are helpful and knowledgeable.
From before and during the classes admin and instructors were very professional. My instructor was bob. Bob is very knowledgeable and straight foward (more than the others I’ve met imo). As he puts it “if you’re not soft skinned” and can put up with him “busting your balls” you’ll be fine and you’ll really like him. The ammount of times I was called out by him on my mess ups were a lot. But when he says “you impressed me”, “you’re doing good”, and “you make me proud” it should and will mean a lot. Overall I started worrying before coming to class but once I got here my classmates and of course instructors were there to help and be there for me! To bob, thank you for always giving me a good laugh, helping me through my issues, and being a good mentor! I do recommend!
I really enjoyed working with the staff at Midwest. Frenchy, Kevin and Bob made the class a really great experience and would absolutely recommend this class to anyone. They made learning the material fun and easy to do and gave a lot of good pointers for getting ready for the actual test.
Did class B training at the school, instructors are real, always give it to you honestly. Fun environment
Bob and frenchy very great guys. Recommend the class to anyone who is interested in getting their cdl
