The best part was driving the truck all over and the first week does gets to be a lot but after that it becomes very easy. For the final test you are the teacher teaching the DMV tester poeple. All you need to do is study and study throughout the weeks.
All I have to say is Please GO HERE!! Very fun time, I'm sad its over. Really good instructors, Bill, Tim, Mac, Bob, the desk ladies and Ian. They have this school dialed and always keeping up with the dumb Michigan laws. I wanna personally thank you, couldn't say it enough. If there were more stars to give I'd give em all to this place, dont even have to compare to other places. Thank you Bill!... Thank you Midwest!!!! Agian dont even give this place any thought just go and I promise you'll love it!!!

Midwest got me sorted for my class b with the p and s endorsement and all set for my bus route this current school year.my instructor French was fantastic, very in depth and detailed with all the info I needed to know and put everything in an easy to understand and easy to learn way. Would recommend without question for anyone interested in obtaining any level of cdl.👍👍👍

Best decision I’ve ever made, doing this class, instructors are amazing but one instructor in particular is the bees knees, Bill Oglesby, and the secretary’s Courtney and Kay are alright too!!
Response from the owner:Now THIS is the kind of review we love to see! We’re so glad you made the decision to join us! Our instructors give it their all, and Bill Oglesby being the “bees knees” just went straight to his ego. And Courtney and Kat… well, we’ll let them know they’re alright—we don’t want to inflate their egos too much! Keep learning, keep growing, and keep buzzing toward your goals! We’re lucky to have you in the class!

I took the Class B CDL course with Paul “Frenchy” Perryman. He was a great instructor, and everyone at MTDS in general was great. When I started the course I had never driven a manual before, but the course was very hands on and I was able to get lots of experience driving trucks, parking trucks, and learning the parts of the truck during the week.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the awesome review! We’re so glad Frenchy and the Midwest Truck Driving School team helped you go from never driving a manual to confidently handling a truck! Your hard work paid off—congratulations and keep rolling toward success!

Frenchy is an amazing instructor. The course was hands on and quite informative. Highly recommend
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We’re thrilled Frenchy helped turn truckin’ into a smooth ride! Hands-on, informative, and hopefully only a little bit of backseat driving. Keep chasing those goals and enjoy the road ahead—you’ve got this!

Midwest took us in when NMU got closed down. They had us in class and training within days. Our instructor Billy Oglesby is top notch. Everyone there went above and beyond to make sure we finished our training and set us up to be successful truck drivers. Billy has put me in contact with possible employer as well. Thank you midwest!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re proud to have been there for you and thrilled to hear Billy and our team helped you get on the road to success. Best of luck in your new career, and thank you for choosing Midwest!
