Reviews of Progressive Truck Driving School (Driving School)

Gul Azaz

The staff and instructor in class and on truck are to good to remember for every.Thanks Gul

Brent Dahnke

I would give this school 0 stars, if I could. This school is very unorganized, the staff is rude and only worried about getting more money from the students. The employees don't give you the right information until it's too late to back out of the contract. A lot of the students switched schools and paid all over again at the new school, just to get out of this one. Also, they are paying students to give good reviews so you should ignore the recent raving reviews - they're fake! I would not recommend this school to anyone.

Onur Tulis

It was great experience.everybody was helpful and friendly

Devonte Bentley

The training was great with the driving instructors the pre- trip need to be more active and hands on with students. I had a great experience at progressive and the staff were great and respectful.

Jonathan Chavez

Progressive help me a lot. I came in just looking to see how much classes were going to cost and instead I got leads on where I can get a voucher. Flexible schedule, a lot teachers ready to teach. And if you need the extra help all you have to do was ask. Thanks to progressive I just got my license for class A, I start a job on Monday. What more can you ask

Eric Lash

I first thought, this would be easy for me, because I am good with taking tests and I love to drive, but truck driving is much more than that! You truly have to work hard for it and st the end it will be worth it!

Georgia Allen

I thought that I knew all I needed to know about driving but when I got to Progressive Truck Driving School I learnt so much more. My first encounter was with Jerry at Belmont, awww he was terrific, thank you Jerry!! I then transferred to Cicero and met more great office personel and instructors. I just want to say a big 'THANK YOU PROGRESSIVE!! for helping me to realise my dream of becoming a trucker ☺☺

Abraham Oonnittan

From the moment I walked through the door, the experience dealing with progressive has been nothing less than amazing. I started off at the Belmont location before transferring out to Cicero and the transition couldn't be any smoother. The instructors and the office staff and very friendly and they are always there to help you out with everything . I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks for everything guys !

richard mcmillion

This is the best place to learn how to drive a truck. They show you indapendence in your learning. They challenge you right away and keep you on your toes.

devonte jenkins

Good learning experience. Got CDL in under 2 months.

Adam GHE

It best truck school

StudioVaultChicago Recording & Media

Great school for truck driving and learning the basics.

Oscar Marroquin

I'm attending right now and I don't really see what the complains are about. I got my permit after 2 days. And getting ready to start training for my air brake test and drive time. If your looking to be babysat and looked after like a 5 year old child this is not the school for you. I've seen students that aren't paying attention and are on their phones half the time, what do they expect the results will be? If you just focus on your goal you will obtain it.

Alex Espinoza

They make you write a post saying how great the school is.

Gerardo Solis

My overall experience was great at this school. The instructors were very knowledgable and understanding that I was a student driver and helped me very throughly every step of the way. I highly recommend this school to whomever wants to peruse a truck driving career, this is the place to start!

Michael gonzalez

It was a learning a experience and a great accomplishment overall. Thank you progressive!!!

James Harris

Good school thorough training

Sammy Matias

Great school! I started at the school with no prior experience in driving manual, not even in a car. Learning double clutch manual seemed like something that was going to be very difficult. The first day I drove, I was doing horrible. With the help of the instructors, I was able to slowly progress. By the time I left, I learned more than I could ever imagine. Thank you so much progressive!

Roberto Ruiz

The staff and instructor at this location are very helpful. If you are serious about obtaining your CDL I would definitely recommend Progressive.

Finally I've gotten my CDL! My experience at Progressive was very positive! I consider my time spent at this school as very useful and effective. By the time of all of the exams needed for receiving a CDL I felt confident and prepared. I want to thank Maria who was very helpful and nice (actually, I decided to choose this school after her great presentation), instructor Jerry who helped a lot on the first phase of study, instructor Adam who was really effective in preparing me to the Pre-Trip inspection test. Thanks to all of the instructors who helped me in practical truck driving which had been a dark forest for me before!

Carlos Montero

Challenging at first! But don't be afraid to ask question and constantly learn. I finished the 160 hr program in one try. Learn from others. It's possible.

I went to the Cicero location. I did not know what to expect but I went in with an open mind. I meet great instructors who actually cared about my experience there. I recommend going the the Cicero location, you will be in great hands. Look for Ricardo he is the Class instructor, great teacher with a great personality. Regi over on skills knows all the tricks, listen to the man trust me.

Steven torres

Jonathan Dishman

For anyone who really desires a change in industries and require training I encourage you to check out the CDL classes at progressive truck driving school. The program is based off what you desire to put in. If you are determined about being successful in life all the necessary skills you need will be available to you. It's your responsibility to listen, do the work and not expect a hand out and after going through the process I can say I made a great choice.

Kenspiricy

Progressive taught my everything there is to know about operating a tractor trailer. Mr. Rodriguez, Lee and Reggie will make sure you understand what it takes to be successful with the course!!!

Had a great learning experience at Progressive, went from not knowing how to drive to receiving a good amount of skills and knowledge in the trucking industry.

Shaquan Tidwell

My time at progressive was pretty good. Office staff was very helpful and pre-trip instructor Clyde is amazing. Trucks were good could be better but you can't expect top notch trucks for learning students.

Daul Perez

I would NEVER recommend this school to anyone. The majority of their students fail, the only thing they are good at is taking your money.

D. Cal

The Instructors were on point with sharing their experiences. The classroom instructor in particular was the best. He made learning fun and enjoyable.

Michael Janetzke

Great school to learn how to safely operate a tractor trailer properly and the instructors share their knowledge from classroom into the road and skills. I highly recommend attending this school for those interested in professionally acquiring their CDL class A license. 5/5 stars!!!

Great instructors and they will help you if you ask , don’t assume they know what your thinking , express your concern and they will reply with a different strategy!

Ambiorix Jimenez

The school lost my D.O.T medical card and refused to admit it or help me in any way. On my first day of school I had to interview with a lady in the rear office. She told me she was filling in for the regular lady which was on vacation. She asked for my medical card and results and made copies. One for my records, one for my wallet, and one for their files. She put the original in an envelope and placed it in the inbox for the regular lady. She said I would get it upon completion. After completing the program I returned to the Belmont branch to get my original and they said they had no idea what I was talking about. They said that they never keep a students original card per procedure. When I tried to explain what happened they didnt even bother to hear me out. The lady at the rear office didnt even bother to see me. She rudely and simply said she did not speak to or interact with students. Their treatment was extremely unproffesional and they showed an absolute disregard for the customer/student which had just paid them almost $3,000 in tuition for this program.

Simion Toderasco

Shawty The Kidd

Jerry at Belmont was a real good instructor he was a big help with the pre trip! The school however didn’t do the greatest job of getting me out, maybe it’s becuase they don’t have enough instructors, trucks or students aren’t passing there test on time. My experience at progressive was a long bumpy road, I was a full time student and I passed every exam on my first try however I was originally scheduled to finish by June 21st and I didn’t actually finish till July 26th! The school told me that it was becuase I didn’t have the proper training however by the time I finished the program I had 240 hours and I had paid for 160. To the schools defense their was a couple of times I was a no show becuase life got in the way however I felt I was being punished even though I felt I was ready and my class hours were up to date. Finally, in my opinion progressive is probably not the best school but there also not the worst, if you plan on attending just make sure you don’t miss any class days and make sure your not late becuase the school will hold you back even though you may be ready! Christian Tabares
