Please stay far away from this school especially if you're paying out of your own money! I applied back in April to go the Joliet location(its run by the same people in Granite City IL). I only attended one day, because it turned out they did not have manual trucks only automatics which wasnt going to workout for me. The instructor told me I had 3 days to ask for my money back no questions asked, which is what I did. My recruiter told me it was going to take 30 days for the money to go back into my back account a total of $5,592.34. Well till this day that I'm writing this review I have not received a dime back. I call and they won't answer phone calls or emails. Its seems like they want to steal your money it's been a total nightmare!!!

Update: its been a year since I wrote this review, I had to get a lawyer to fight for my money. Case is still ongoing please stay away from this school. They're thieves

Update: 4/9/2025 I have received the judgment in my favor for full refund, and Premier has not responded back to attorney. I will also proceed to making a complaint with the Attorney General of Illinois. This school is the biggest scam.

I wanted to leave a farewell message and review. This truly was a great experience I’m thankful for Chuck, he has dedication and he will drive you to succeed. He taught me a lot. When I lost confidence he made me go harder. I failed my first test and had to try again, Chuck seen my weaknesses and helped me push myself through. For that I thank Chuck so much. Chris was an awesome state examiner. I felt comfortable the whole time. Thanks again to all the staff and to all future students YOU CAN DO IT.

Graduated April 12th 2023. Started off with 2 trainers but unfortunately one quit towards my last week. Chuck is a great instructor and did a great job working by himself under short notice. He might yell at you sometimes but that’s only if you’re messing up. I was the only women in my class and still felt very comfortable. I would recommend this school. Thanks Chuck and the ladies in the office as well.

I just want to say thank you to all the instructors there especially Chuck. You all were good instructors. You were patient and you made my time there easy. Of course you have to apply yourself but once you the students did your part there did their part. Over all I will give my experience a 10/10. I would refer the school to others.

Chuck and Lesley are great instructor's. They are reasonably patient and tell things like it is. If you go in wanting to succeed they will do their level best to help you. As a bonus they both have pretty good sense of humor. I didn't see the ladies in the office,
Kathy and Dana, much but they were helpful and nice each time I have spoken to them.

Chuck does an awesome job and helps out in every way possible. He personally cares to make sure you understand and know everything you need too in order pass. He definitely needs some help as one person cant properly teach as many people in a single day as they are asking of him.
Would recommend this school though.

Do not step foot in this school. It's a money grab. All they care about is you paying or signing a contract then could care less. The class before me or atleast what was left of them payed cash thinking they would get trained on a manual then the manual broke down and they was told they had to test with an automatic which means they would be restricted to just driving automatics. The instructor doesn't care and berates students and calls them crackhead and stupid and is senile and can't relate to younger people. The instructor had students from the prior class who hadn't even graduated yet in the truck teaching me maneuvers and other things while he was off doing more important things. Also the yard is full of mud holes and pot holes which makes it impossible to do turns and maneuvers without getting stuck in the mud or bouncing up and down constantly.Gonna see about talking to a lawyer.

I had a great experience here. Lesley and Chuck are great trainers. All you have to do is listen.. I really appreciate the both of them taking the time out and showing me about The important parts to learn about the truck I had a great experience.. I thought Chuck was being mean to me. But he only wants you to succeed so I really appreciate him.👍👍👍👍 I give them all five stars
