First of all, if you are thinking about getting your Class A CDL with no restrictions, look no further than Midwest Truck Driving School. The staff here are absolutely great and really want to help you succeed. I felt very comfortable and confident from day one, all the staff that work here are very approachable and willing to help any way they can. The staff do a great job preparing you for the computer based and practical testing that is required by the State of Michigan. I passed all my test the first time as well as my Hazmat, doubles / triples and tanker endorsements. They tell you on day one that what you get out of this program is what you put into it and that is true. The school is by no means a cake walk, you do have to pay attention and study but, do what they ask of you to do and you will be well prepared for all the test. Overall, I had a good time here, met new friends and a great atmosphere to learn. Also, I want to give a big shoutout to Tim, Kat, Kyle and Josh.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the fantastic feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience at Midwest Truck Driving School and that you felt supported every step of the way. Congratulations on passing your tests, including the Hazmat, doubles/triples, and tanker endorsements! It’s great to know that our staff made such an impact and that you were able to take full advantage of the program. We truly appreciate the shoutout to Tim, Kat, Kyle, and Josh—they’ll be thrilled to hear it! Best of luck in your future endeavors, and thank you for recommending us!
