    I finished a 160 hr class last week. I will say they did a nice job preparing me for the CDL tests.

    This school allows you to prepare for all phases for your permit and CDL; hazmat, and doubles-triples. They have many videos... some outdated but definitely helped.

    The main instructor Warren is hilarious and keeps the training entertaining as it can get tiresome. We went over:
    Air Brakes
    Air Suspension
    Defensive driving
    Paper Log Book
    Coupling and Uncoupling
    Extensive Pre-trip
    Post trip
    Straight backing
    Off-set
    Parallel
    I parked the trailer a few times
    Road TIme (great instruction)
    Trip Planning

    I must say the money I spent was well worth it. If you are in the vicinity and need classes. Star trucking is a good one.
