How much does it cost how long does it last

Recently graduated. I did it in 3 weeks! The instructors are knowledgeable, easy to work with, and know how to teach the individual. They show a personal interest in each individual and give you the sense that they really do care!

There are not enough words to describe how amazing this school is and the instructor's I've encountered. Mr. Michael was just fanominal he was so patient and kind even stayed after an extra hour so that we could get more practice doing the alley dock. And mr Eric was also amazing he has the perfect strategies for maneuvers and is also very patient. The office staff is great, understanding, and respectful. And ol Mr. Jim was a great teacher just make sure you bring a jacket for your first week his classroom is an icebox. And even the instructor's i didn't get to work with were always kind, respectful and smiling. I will never forget My c1 experience I passed on my first try and it was truly because of the hard work and dedication c1 staff put in to prepare me .. Thank you C1 God bless you guys.

They will laugh at you and act like your stupid! Made me just feel like it wasn’t for me so I just went back to doing what I was doing and good at.

C1 Truck Driver Training School located in Strafford Mo, training, instructors, office staff and director are all first class. Each person handled themselves professionally and personally in a caring manner. It is difficult to pick out a single individual as being "heads above the rest". Rather I will mention those individuals that I came in contact with. Jim, classroom instructor is informative, consistent and kept each involved. Austin, Stretch, Brenda and Joe are outstanding range and road instructors. Each has their own style but their message was clear and consistent. Each fully invested their time in each student. Affirming the message. We are here to teach all that you need to know to pass your skills test and earn your CDL A. "Don't give up." "We won't give up on you." There's Danny, who took us over to Willow Springs. Surprising us with a breakfast sandwich. Ensuring that we understood the maneuver lay out. Speaking positively, encouraging and motivating. The ladies in the office. Often forgotten members of the team. Did their part. Meticulously combing through a mountain of paperwork assigned to each student. Insuring that no signatures went unsigned. All records complete. Necessary calls made and final instructions given before leaving to ensure a smooth transition. We'll end with Sam and Art. Both working behind the scenes planning, orchestrating and discussing each student and their progress. Designing motivation and additional help per individual where needed. Sam going the extra mile. Short handed Friday afternoon (7/26). Taught a CSA class to four of us that were unavailable for the class with our class mates. Also found the time to come over to the test site. To point out necessary markers to use for specific maneuvers. And to encourage me with the words. You have studied and practiced enough. Relax till it's time and just do it. On another occasion I saw Sam adjusting cones making sure that they were in the right position. Earlier in the week Art put on a BBQ/ blood drive. Like I've never seen before. The BBQ reminded of family picnics and reunions that I attended as a kid. In attendance not just students and staff. Also included blood drive workers, equipment and repair vendors, MSP Examiners, friends and family. Friday afternoon Art managed our preemployment drug screens. This following his return from Little Rock and handling some equipment issues. Art always took time to speak to each student. Showing genuine interest and heart felt caring. Finally as with all good managers. Art is directly involved through the instructors and Sam with each students progress. I accomplished the goal that I went there to get. However had I failed. That would have been on me. Not on the school. And not the group of fine people who have accepted the responsibility to teach a life changing skill. Show quoted text

I'm sure that they do a good job getting your CDL but I can assure you that they do not have grade A instuctors. This is how I know. I am a driver with over 10 years of experience. As a 10 year driver you expect to earn a certain amount of money for your grade A service you provide to the customers and company. I also have 3.5 years experience as a CDL instructor. Now let's be clear you dont become an instructor for the money however $14 per hour is a straight insult to the many years and the grade A service that I would provide. On top of that health insurance for family... OMG... $448 per pay period. That puts you making like $290-$325 a week. They want you to have no less then 3 years OTR experience.... really. 3 plus years is a $1,000 per week job minimum. That's after insurance. Wow just wow. I would not work here nor get my cdl here. Think about it if your instructor is not being payed what he is worth you really think he is happy and going to give you his fullest potential... I dont think so. Maybe at first but it will not last long. I made great money as an instructor in the past. What an insult!!!!

The best Truck driving training School in Missouri..I did not see many people fail here...I did see people quit..the instructors are experts in what they are doing and it shows..Hank hill Paul the yard dog is very strict, he wants everyone to pass the state exam. I am from Baltimore MD and will still recommend this training School for anyone who wants to be a truck driver...Thank you Joe Brown for helping me with my confidence on the road and yard.

Over all I had a great experience will I believe the 2 members that helped me through out this process, Brian and Tonya really did a great job over Tonya was very helpful she answered all questions on timely manner she does care for us who are starting out in this career. Anf all the staff at C1 really know their staff from the classroom to the yard and on the road they are the best all the way around.

Jessica Barker

It's a great school with great instructors...but make sure you go to a company that will pay your school loan off. The school charges 18% interest, so make sure you don't end up like me.

The best school ever if you want to obtain your Cdl. The instructors work in excellence to get you to your goal in transportation. Every instructor is knowledgeable and articulate in there instructions on a daily basis. They work with good character integrity and pride in what they do, C1 truck driver training school should be your choice for learning how to drive a truck. Trust me if you pay Attention. You will learn a lifestyle and a respect for the industry.,Not by force but by the high standard you want to attain as they have in their careers and there job as instructors.

Kenneth Lee

It's great

Shane Knab

Its a good school even if you just need a refresher course.

Mariah Long

This school was the best the instructors are were great and could not ask for better. They got me through the test and they only cringed once or twice.

Summer Crisp

Nice

Brian Powers

Great experience. If you listen to the instructors, and ask questions, you will learn enough to pass the cdl tests. They will help you learn what is needed, but you have to want to learn. They will not hold your hand, you have to want it. I would recommend this school to everyone I know!

I'm going to miss a few of you guys
