If you're looking for a REPUTABLE and AUTHENTIC CDL Truck Driver Training, look no further. The entire course is a total of one month, two weeks of book-work and two weeks of driver and backing (Straight backing, Parallel Parking backing and Offset backing). Dirk was my trainer and he was the PERFECT trainer for "ME". His patience level was OFF the charts! he doesn't get frustrated, he just keeps on training without hollering or raising his voice. He taught me EVERYTHING I needed to know to drive professionally and to do all three backup tests flawlessly as well as the pre-inspection. He is VERY knowledgeable in his experience in driving. He even taught us to put pressure on the kingpin EVERY time you stop BEFORE you go in to a truck stop. This is not in the curriculum, but it's HIS own personal experience in driving, which I personally, REALLY appreciated!! There were MANY things he taught us AS we were driving on TOP of just learning how to drive an 18 wheeler. All these things pertained to being a total professional driver. I cannot speak highly enough about Dirk. All 4 of us trainee's in the truck all gained a HUGE amount of knowledge on TOP of the curriculum pertaining to the professional driver. At one point, he let us drive while he stayed quite in the passengers seat grading us one at a time. he let us know what we did RIGHT and also the things that we need improvement on. I say VERY great things about Dirk, but the reality is, WHOMEVER your trainer is here at Southwest Truck Driver Training, plan on learning a HUGE amount of driving lessons. ALL of which are extremely useful while on the road!!
