DTR School of Trucking Las Vegas

We didn’t utilize the classroom, but there was no need to. For manual classes I’d hope to get a couple extra practice days in because 5 is not enough to feel fully confident, but I passed anyways. Overall the instructors were informative and attentive to us, the small class size gave each of us more time to practice skills and driving. The demeanor of one instructor Byron, was calm and collected so it made driving mistakes less stressful. I have no regrets with this school or purchase

Edit: It's been one year since I got my CDL out of DTR and I haven't looked back. I've seen the country, the whole country, coast to blessed coast. I've had so many adventures and met so many interesting characters I cant even keep track. I've never worked so long and so hard in all my life. But it's been worth every ounce of dedication. I'm making a hundred grand a year no lie, with medical benefits, pension, life insurance, uniform allowance, sick time, FMLA, the works. Granted, I am slapping together 80-90 hour weeks. If you're even thinking of getting your CDL -- stop thinking about it and call DTR. Here's as much data as I can provide for the CDL class I took September of 2023 at DTR School of Trucking: thanks to owner Daniel and instructor Josh I obtained my CDL class A for automatic transmission. They're a third party testing site. Small class size. Plenty of one-on-one coaching with instructor, Josh, who was patient with me and brought a wealth of trucking wisdom ready to pass on to me from his 10 years of experience behind the wheel. It's a grind, memorizing all that pre-trip verbiage. Backing takes practice. And DTR gave me all the batting practice I needed, rep after rep after rep, to feel confident about backing in a semi. I passed the test, but I felt confident getting behind the wheel of a tractor trailer and going OTR. I had a really good time during the learning process with my fellow students. It's a good bonding experience. Don’t get me wrong – it’s a challenge to gain proficiency over all the material presented in the course, especially the pre-trip, but DTR was there with me every step of the way and in the end I completed the program with a sense of confidence in my learning progress and mastery of driving skills. I want to make special mention that throughout the month-long journey I got the distinct impression that staff at DTR really cared about me as a driver and were willing to invest in my learning process. DTR is not just one of those "CDL mill" schools where they treat you like you're just another brick in the wall, a statistic, a number. No, at DTR I got personalized attention and encouragement on areas where I needed to improve. They helped me laser in on my weak points and gave me practice to where I felt competent. TBH when I started at DTR I couldn’t even back up a tricycle, let alone successfully do a 90 degree alley dock! But they didn’t give up on me, and schooled me up so I could pass the driving portion with confidence and gave me a solid background in safe driving strategies along with the theoretical underpinnings of the modern tractor/trailer pre-trip inspection to obtain my CDL. I am confident in my recommendation of DTR School of Trucking to anyone looking to get their CDL class A, take a refresher, and especially to people that are a little hesitant (like me) going into it about their abilities to drive truck. They helped me through, they can help you too.

I sing up for the Class B license at DTR and Dan and the rest of the staff is good and straight to the point. They take it serious and you have to study and do your homework to pass the class , because it’s important when you get behind a wheel of these truck and buses there are a lot of power and weight and nothing to play around with. So if you want to make money I will encourage most people to go get your CDL. I enjoy being over the road. The price is reasonable. If you fell the Class, you cannot blame anyone else but yourself so pay attention and do your homework. People time is money and your time is also important. I haven’t did my test yet, but I’m getting excited I’ve already enrolled. Thank you DTR
