The moment you step into the school you look at the amount of trucks they have and how many students are there and you think to yourself that it’s an amazing school. That’s where you are wrong. It took me nearly half a year to get the license because the amount of training you can do is so very minimal. The driving on the road is at max like an hour a week and their semis are not in the best conditions making the gears very hard to shift. I took the test 3 times with this school, first time I failed because the school gave me an old inspection sheet from 3 years ago and I practiced it a multitude of times just to fail. I mentioned everything in the paper but then there was 14 other items that weren’t on the paper that I didn’t mention. I had to get a different inspection paper from a different school one of my friends went too because A-1 kept giving me the wrong one. The second test I took I passed everything but couldn’t take the road test because the trailer lights did not work. They didn’t do the proper inspection before taking the truck and trailer to the dmv. I had to have the test postponed due to their mistakes. They don’t speak English fluent enough and claim in their websites that they know Spanish?!!? You can barely understand their English and the instructors are very biased to their people. If you’re an American or Hispanic like me who knows fluent English they still help their people out more than anybody else. Overall I really did not like the school and the process took 5 months more than what they claim it usually takes. To add on, I had to study everything on my own and learn everything through videos because I was their very last priority.
