I wouldn't recommend this school to no one. 4 week class turned into 4 months and still counting. GO to TN Tech for 1,500 or Road master for 7k. I got a friend that I told not to go here. A guy named Larry was telling him they are the Mercedes of the trucking school. Don't fall for it. My friend told me he feel like giving up. I feel so bad even for other students dealing with this. The truck keep going down. No testing on site. They have to go way to Jackson TN to test. Downtown TCAT offer testing on site and 3rd party testing. Don't do it.

I called today and Cynthia is so rude!!!!!!!!!!! She hung up in my face while talking to her. I asked for a supervisor or another representative and she said there is no-one else. Why do y’all hire these people and they are rude. First thing they say is we are rude but then when you get someone who is not rude your are rude!!!! We’re paying for a serve and get treated like bad citizens!!!! Shame on y’all!!!!!…. Over here being rude !!!! You don’t deserve my money or time.

I am so disappointed in 160 the wait time to enter the school is ridiculous. It took a few months just to get the yard experience. Once I get to the yard the instructors are awesome. They will do the best they can to assist. The problem is it’s too many students and not enough instructors or tractors and trailers to practice. It’s a fast pace program you won’t have enough time to train I been here everyday frustrated. You will be on the yard for 8 hours only to train for 1hr out of the day. It seems like 160 is all about money have no concern about the students. I’m concerned about about I feel like I’m not getting enough training in order to get my Cdl. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

If I could give no starts I would. There's no possible a school should so terrible to where the students want to quit due to feeling robbed. Every part of the contract we've signed has been branched and they still won't give a refund. Your in class 8 hours out of your day and not getting trained You stand around doing nothing g more than anything. They just want your money, there's not enough vehicles to train nor instructors. So exactly why would they keep accepting students knowing we won't receive what we're paying for. The lead sit in the office 7 hours out of the when he know there are lack of resources and could be using himself as trainer. Your in school 160hours with 60hours of training. The school has no accountability for their lack of resources so when you fail it's just your fault. Don't waste your money!!!

I am sharing this in response to a man I talked to through the school. Not the school itself. This man I just hung up with. He wanted to be a robot. He had no feelings, did not want you to talk to him. He didn't wanna answer any questions. He just wanted to read his script and hurry up. I was trying to ask a question about the week refresher course they had. He said, I can't argue with you I am telling you what has to be done." What? I was asking you about the week class not arguing. Seriously you guys when someone calls you may want to act like a human being. Compassion, caring and listen. You just made me want to give up on you all and find another place to go to.
