I can’t say enough about Midwest Truck Driving School in Escanaba, MI. Everyone there was super friendly, and more importantly SUPER HELPFUL. I went there to learn how to drive a manual truck, and that’s exactly what they taught me. I felt like I had a whole team behind me, helping me become a better driver. Josh, Dave, Penny, and Bill (and the girls in the office) all leant there considerable knowledge (and patience 🫣) to helping me succeed. If you are thinking about becoming a truck driver, or want to improve your skills THIS is the place to be! Also, Escanaba is a beautiful little town that makes your experience stress free and enjoyable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend Midwest Truck Driving School to anyone looking to get their CDL. I'm currently taking my Class B training here, and the experience has been excellent. My instructor, Frenchy, is very knowledgeable, patient, and extremely hands-on with his training. He takes the time to make sure you understand everything and gives you plenty of real-world practice behind the wheel. The training is straightforward, professional, and focused on helping students succeed. If you're looking for a truck driving school that truly prepares you for the road, Midwest Truck Driving School is a great choice. Thanks to Frenchy and the staff for making the learning experience enjoyable and effective!
