Rude people, they keep calling me after I said I wasn't interested. Then hang up on me. If I did this at my job then I'd be talked to or fired for treating a potential customer or someone that says no to some maintenance I recommended on their car. Unprofessional and petty.

Jed is the only honest fellow here..
His boss, josh, is disgustinging a sales man. He will lie to you to get a dollar

The teacher for stevens transport, scott whines the entire class about missing his wife bc she fd some other dude multiple times and he wants back with her.

Josh, Jeds boss, makes false promises in hopes to scrape every penny from you he can. Really an ugly business plan

I’ll definitely avoid wasting time and money going to this school. The instructors are full (Sugar Honey Ice Tea) and petty. I went somewhere else to get my CDL and passed the test in flying colors. I ace the particular area they lied about I had problems with, I didn’t have none of the petty problems I had at this school going somewhere else with structure and good instructors.

The director Jed is a great person and will do his best to ensure every student gets through the school. As a vet I thought I would only get one attempt to pass my CDL skills but Jed and his staff came through for me as I continued to improve

The instructor, Jimmy, is currently sleeping outside while I write this review and while a student is STRUGGLING to drive near the cars in the parking lot. Jimmy is a poor instructor and uses scare tactics to get students to perform the maneuvers that are taught. Multiple students have gone to the Director of the school and have informed him of Jimmy’s poor attitude and poor teaching methods but the Director has done absolutely nothing to fix this issue. This is ironic because the school Director tells you on the first day if you have any problems with the instructors please let him know and multiple students have brought this issue up to him. It’s apparent that he only cares about the money and being sponsored by big trucking companies instead of giving students the necessary learning opportunities they need. Luckily after leaving Jimmy’s group, due to his poor attitude, I was able to be matched with an awesome instructor who allowed me to learn and master the skills that I needed to pass my CDL test. Hopefully the new group of students coming in don’t have to deal with Jimmy’s poor attitude and listen to him show off girls on dating apps while trying to learn a totally new skill. Also the school will not give students access to THEIR OWN FINANCIAL RECORDS. I was unable to get tuition reimbursement because this school would not let me have a receipt of the money I paid out of MY POCKET. I have plenty more to say but I’m going to cut this review short so I don’t disturb Jimmy’s nap.

Update The day after I posted this review the director of the school had Stevenson transport drop me from the course, I was supposed to go to the state to test the day after this and he TEXT me saying do not show up I have been dropped. Do your review after your done or they will retaliate against you.

PLEASE PLEASE I’m begging you all that is smart and read reviews first before signing any contract or considering DDA I highly DO NOT recommend this school if you are thinking about doing it in 4 weeks, which you can with proper training, This school cares nothing about you learning and receiving the time you need behind the wheel to prepare you for your skills test at the state level To get your CDLs its a total waste of your money and your time, please BEWARE and consider another school. A very helpful tip, go pay the $50 At the office of revenue get the learning material and test package watch YouTube videos on CDL permit testing promise you will pass the test, then enroll in school. DO NOT once again DO NOT enroll in this school it’s all about money to these people they do not care about you learning and receiving the proper training you need to move forward in your career they’re setting people up for failure.

Just graduated from Diesel Driving Academy. I have no complaints. Our instructor, Steve, was very knowledgeable, professional, and patient. However, this is trucking and you will not be cut any slack. Which i feel is necessary when you are learning how to haul 80,000 pounds of steel down the road.

I give the school 5 stars.
