I attended this business on 3/14/19. My first interaction was over the phone with Bill. If I could give a higher rating, I would. He was honest and told it to me straight.......no BS or whitewashing in his words. We ended up agreeing on a plan that was factually based upon my experiences with other schools/testing facilities and Bill found, and I feel, went out of his way to accommodate my schedule............THANK YOU BILL! The best was yet to come. I drove down to Tucson from Phoenix and was introduced to my instructor, Cowboy Chris. This guy could quite possibly be their best trainer/instructor! Sorry Bill but this guy gets an even higher rating. Chris provided me the training, ensured that I was capable to perform the required manuvers, and provided insight into what I would need to do to accomplish a pass on the CDL 3 part test. AWESOME DUDE! Overall , if you're looking to get you're CDL and you don't attend this facility, YOU ARE CHEATING YOURSELF!

I graduated here on the 160 hour program and got my cdl in about 6 weeks. Most of the instructors are helpful to those who ask for it and seek their help. Luisa and Dan are very good instructors and I heard only praises of them from other students while I was there. They do not baby you here or hold your hand through the process. Be ready to show initiative and willingness to learn otherwise failure is on you because they do set you up to succeed. The owner Doug Prall is a good man and even if you dont drive for DSW after you graduate they still help you out with anything you may need to find employment elsewhere and there are no hard feelings on their part. If you are thinking about going to HDS hurry up and start making that money. If you need help paying for school look into pima county onestop they paid for my full ride at HDS and they can pay for you too.

Recent 2nd time graduate from the school. 2nd time because my physical expired and couldn't renew it so my CDL expired and had to start fresh. Got a sleep study done and didn't have the required amount of data on my CPAP machine so that's why it expired. Anyways, both times I went through it I had a good time. But the 2nd time around some things changed and it didn't go as smoothly as the 1st time I went through it back in September of 2014 but still went ok. Only complaint is that wasn't enough trucks to accommodate all the students and the night class usually gets the short end of the stick. But that's ok I still passed and got sufficient seat time for yard skills and driving so I passed my CDL test with flying colors because I had experience on my side this time lol. The school was pretty great, but for future students either slim down on class sizes or get more school trucks so that way students aren't just sitting around waiting for their turn to do a yard skill or go out driving. Other then that HDS does a pretty good job. As for working for DSW, no complaints here. Well, except one. Whenever I get into California, it seems to take weeks for me to get a load going out of California. I hate California with a passion, because I don't make as much whereas I make more going all over the U.S. Other than that, I have no issues with working for DSW. I know most of the dispatchers because I worked there before and they're cool and willing and able to help you out as best they can with whatever problem or issue you have. As for home time, that's never a guarantee no matter what company you drive for really. That's just the nature of the business.

Wow, I was really disappointed at this school and the unprofessionalism of the Instructors so I went to the office to asked for help and spoke to Romana. Instead of Romana helping me, she and the other instructors "blackball" me. Long after I graduated from the school Romana contacted my Manager and his Supervisors On 3/14/19 and shared confidential information w/ them that I had shared with Corey and Romana before signing up for the school. Romana tried to accused me of several other things for example she told my supervisor that I was lying about the fact that I served in the military. I tried to contact Doug who's is suppose to have open door policy but he is never able and all that staff refused to share his Info w/ the students. I asked for his number from "Taylor, Diane-and front office" I was denied. I referred at least three of my friends to this school before which I regret now and will never be doing any kind of business w/ this people and Romana you should most definitely focus on doing your job instead of gossiping and sharing students confidential information with others and leave me alone. Thanks All.

I am a current student and Most definitely donâ€™t recommend this school or the company for anyone. All the instructors except Dan are bunch of lazy bums and liars that only shows up to school to keep their chairs warm and not help any students. You will never see any instructors in this school being helpful unless is DAN most of them are just bunch of lazy truck driver that arenâ€™t even qualify to teach. #ThisSchoolSucks! #DontSignUp.
