DriveCo CDL Learning Center

First and foremost, I want to thank ALL the instructors at DriveCo for providing me the necessary tools and resources to successfully complete the program.  A special shout out to Bob Murrey, Mike, Jodi, Jose, Jack, Mr Tibbs and Al (no particular order).  You are amazing and I will truly miss you ALL!  As mentioned, please listen for the special honk and doubles when I pass the school.  The sound will be “A Shave and a Hair Cut, two bits” (if you are not sure what that means, ask Jack lol). If you are considering pursuing your CDL with DriveCo, I wanted to make sure I share my experience so that you will be prepared and informed… Never mind, my advice; Listen to them ALL, do as they say, Always Be on TIME… you will SUCCEED!  Oh yeah, please start studying the pre-trip in week 1.  I see too many students push that off till week 3 and struggle.  Next, practice backing/skills every chance you get.  When you feel you perfected it, practice more. Carlos, please READ this.  There are a few things that you stated that were displeasing to say the least.  Statements like these can be damaging to the organization; as you are the initial contact for DriveCo.  First, in our orientation, you were discussing how you are a Purdue graduate, and that you will be more than happy to bring in your cap and gown for the students who pass the CDL, to take a picture in front of a truck.  I understand you are proud of your accomplishments (as we should be), however, this came off as conceited and had no relevance in this setting.  Next, you decided to say the following to me in week 1, “If you do not pass the first time, your company will get rid of you”.  Considering you do not know who I am, my work ethic and my capabilities, this was inappropriate and uncalled for!  Also in week 1, you walked into the class while the students were taking their pre-test and said the following, “look at all of these geniuses… You will all fail”.  I understand it was a joke, however, this also was uncalled for and certainly not humorous.  Finally, what really confounded me, was what you said after I asked you if you have ever considered getting a CDL.  You told me, in front of a student and instructor (who I highly respect), that you are overqualified.  You really need to humble yourself.  If you and I compared credentials, I am 100% sure it is unmatched.  I have worked in corporate for 14 years.  I held positions as a Director of Academic and Financial advising in Higher Education for 3 campus locations.  I have a Bachelor’s in Business and a Master’s in Information System Management.  Know this, I do not consider myself better then anyone.  Everybody possesses a skill set we can learn from.  Respect everyone!

Very helpful and made me feel like this is the place I want to be. I would say this is the place to continue your education. They have many methods of working out the tuition cost. And will make it they duty to see you succeed.

I was going to pay my $4100 but Carlos has neapolitan syndrome and I rather take my money somewhere else. They need new intake personnel.

Highly recommended by me. Staff & Instructors do everything they can to help you achieve & reach your goals. Thanks to everyone at Driveco.

I attended the Laporte location. I’m a recent graduate of this school, I passed my CDL test on the first try. I was more than prepared for the test! I drove from Chicago to Laporte everyday for class because I appreciated the small class size. I had a significant amount of one on one training. Jimmy is a great instructor! I hope he continues to teach others as long as possible. 10/10 experience for me! Will 100% recommend to others
