American Truck Training Central Oklahoma City, Oklahoma City

The weekend classes made it possible for me to continue working my full time job and acquire my class A CDL license. The instructors took time to work with each student and help me with maneuvers that I was struggling with. Abbey was the go to person for making other arrangements to fit my schedule. I would highly recommend this truck school to anyone that is seriously wanting to start a new career!!!

This place did an awesome job of teaching me what I needed to know so I could graduate quickly. The instructors are friendly and know what theyre doing. However, the equipment needed lots of work. It was hard to get enough practice drives before the test due to a lack of running trucks. I know their equipment gets abused all day every day from students, but there were plenty of backups that needed work as well. There was also a miscommunication of settling payments with my recruiter, but Abbey made...
Read full review sure it was taken care of for me. She saved me thousands of dollars that I didnt know I was going to end up paying. If the yard isnt too packed, youll get plenty of practice on your maneuvers. 2 days before your test, youll get guaranteed drives, and youll practice each maneuver throughout the day. If there are too many students, you might be there longer than you want to be. I felt comfortable enough to test after just a few rotations in the yard, but I had plenty of reps while I was out there. I was also in a group that paid attention and wanted to get out of there and get to work. If you work the steps and listen to the instructors, theyll have you cdl ready in no time. I want to thank Abbey for her work in the office, and all of the instructors that I worked with. Thats Bennett, Kolton, James, Sean, John, Robert, PJ, Don, and especially Davey for teaching me to drive. I watched him handle the most novice drivers (including myself) and make them road-ready. Thank you all for your patience and knowledge

The weather occasionally sucked but the trainers were right there in it with us! They do focus on you learning things a certain way at first which can be a bit frustrating but they don t give up on you! Once you get the process down they give you room to learn the way that is best for you! I can t express enough how glad I am they worked with me and my work schedule and helped me to get my CDL!!! I couldn t have done it without them!

The school has all the pros and cons of a private institution, but convenience sure makes it stand out. Hang in there, you will get your CDL in one spot.

Luis was very help. Made it easy for me, by setting everything up. Give me all the information I needed to start class.

Luis was very helpful on getting everything set up for me. Any questions I had he responded quick to answer them for me. I will definitely recommend anyone that would like to get their CDL to go through him and American truck training.

Where do I begin, first let me start by saying, Bennet, Shawn, James, kolten, and Davy, and Robert on his good days, along with Big John and PJ these guys literally make this place keep the doors open, instructors are absolutely incredible. Now In saying that, I witnessed to many times sensitive information was asked for multiple times, things that shouldn t be lost, secondly idk how the financing works, but when you re in a group of 6 that have financed and each are paying a different amount...
Read full review, something just feels off so, keep that in mind. Third, don t even get me started about the lack of money being spent towards the betterment of the school and staff, the economy is tuff , we don t have the flow of students we normally do , is some of the many excuses you will hear, they knowingly put students, and the instructor in trucks that aren t safe even when it s said it s not safe multiple times. Don t expect to learn anything fast if you have never driven before l, because once again, the lack of money for betterment of equipment is a SERIOUS problem, unfortunately I understand to an extent, new drivers are ruff on the equipment, but whenever a truck hasn t had a PM service in literal YEARS. That s a problem, better hope if you re scheduled for a drive that you got lucky and went before it gets low on fuel cause there is a good chance they can t afford more than 150 dollars in diesel. Which might get you back to the school. They have 6 or 7 trucks just sitting not getting any work done, and probably won t get any work done until they close the doors and Someone buys them. They have a mechanic that is just a paper weight for taxes literally. I think I saw him get in his toolbox or do something other than walk around maybe twice in 6 weeks. Rain or shine they say, well they only really work when it s sunny, if it s raining you will pile in the shop and stare at a truck for 8 hours and read out of your book, instead of being out in it learning how to safely operate and do backing maneuvers in adverse weather. But I also understand why they don t, wait for it .. YOU GUESSED IT, they can t afford to have the massive holes all over the yard filled in, so instead they just don t let you work on anything other than staring at a truck, but hey you Atleast can look forward to the burrito truck every morning at 9 am, that s a plus. Let s move on to the office staff, the nurse and doctor that do the physicals are straight to the point women. I respected that. Others and I won t say any names because I have more respect than that, wear their emotions on their sleeve and let the workplace romance drama get in the way and all wrapped up in what s going on, just hope you catch it on a good day. Make sure you hound and hound to get scheduled for drives, if not, you re lucky if you get 3-4 drives in 6 weeks, it s really hard to do anymore when they can t afford to get the nice repaired drive truck out of the shop so they run with 1 truck. You would think one of the last schools in the state that teaches manual transmission and that s their claim to fame would take better care of it s equipment. But It s just an all around shady, messy, unorganized barely able to call it a school. But it s all good 50 cent is partners with the owner and is building a school in Houston, seems to be that s more important than taking care of okc. All in all I was extremely disappointed in the way staff, specifically instructors are not heard by management, the owner has never done a mile behind the wheel of a commercial vehicle, so take that as you will, but you would think with over 100 years experience between the instructors that they might know what they are talking about, just my opinion. But I did what I had to do to get through it, and passed one and done, again, the instructors I mentioned above are TOP NOTCH, not treated as such but they are, LISTEN to them and ask questions if you attend and you too can pass, hurry, because they will all eventually get tired of it, and find somewhere they are valued for their time and experience.

Luis made the enrollment process so simple and easy. His communication with all of the information that I would need and how everything would be ran during the schooling process made it easy for me to transition into the school I appreciate you for the help!

Abby and the team were very easy to work with and helped when I needed it or time off. Very pleased and sending son next. Love team and trainers. Awesome School. Chad
