Just completed my training January 21st 2026. With the instruction from John(owner), Jake, Robert, and Clayton (pappy), I was able to pass CDL test on first try! Thanks gentleman! It was a great experience!

Awesome group of people. You get plenty of opportunities to work on your driving and backing skills. I've never driven manual before and they taught me to drive a 10 speed manual like one of the pros by the end of the 4 weeks. After hearing about other drivers' experiences in other schools, I definitely lucked out getting placed in this school. In my opinion, their training is structured really good and I don't see how they could improve it. As they say, why pay more for less training?

Amazing place to go and get your CDL. I had no permit nor license when I first started attending this school. Within 4 weeks I received my CDL permit AND today I officially graduated and earned my CDL. The instructors here are great at their job, very knowledgeable and very helpful. I did my research and they are also the cheapest around. You definitely get the most bang for your buck. If you're interested in getting your CDL, check this school out. You won't regret it!!!

Back in March I came to Bluegrass CDL Academy. The only thing I knew about a truck is that I wanted to learn to drive one. My first couple of weeks were difficult. Nothing made sense and I wasn't getting it. BUT I kept going every morning and doing what the instructors told me to do. Matt, Buck, Steve, Ralph, and Robert kept working with me even when I was frustrated and seriously annoyed lol. I tested out with the state for my CDL yesterday. Twice during my maneuvers my nerves got the best of me and I was in danger of failing. I focused on the techniques I learned at the academy to recover and get that truck where it needed to be. Matt, and the other guys, always said to just listen to them, and learn/do what they said to. I did that and it was the difference between a fail and a pass yesterday. I'm very thankful to all of them at Bluegrass CDL (including Sue, the owner). My experience there was a very good one.
