CL Driving School

Called multiple schools about getting my CDL A's and the CL Driving School had the most accommodating schedule. I signed up in person and after day one I knew I made the right decision. The instructors delivered the information and didn't rush it. They allowed us plenty of time in the class/yard to get familiar with the trucks. Once I felt comfortable, it was time to get and start the skills portion. The instructors know these trucks better than I know my personal vehicle. They can tell you when to turn, how much to turn and how fast or slow to do it to back the trucks in the lane on the first try. The road training was the best. Driving these trucks around town and down the highways were awesome. The instructors made it so comfortable that even with double clutching a 10 speed, it felt natural driving around. The only bad part of this school was not getting to come back after graduation! Thanks Freddy, Douglas, Joe, Christian and Sims!!

My instructors SIM BATES AND ALI I want to express my sincere gratitude to CL Driving School in Charlotte, North Carolina. They are truly one of the best driving schools. The team is very professional, patient, and always willing to help students succeed. Their support, dedication, and the great ideas and advice they share during the training make a big difference. Thanks to them, I felt more confident and better prepared. I highly recommend CL Driving School to anyone who wants to learn the right way and receive excellent training. Thank you very much for everything!

Great school. Their trucks are very clean, the people are nice, and the office is in really good shape. They always have waters for everybody and the sessions with recruiters are very helpful. Shout out to Douglas, one of the best teachers I've ever had. If you want to get a CDL, this is the place to do it!

I completed the course at CL Driving School in Indian Trail and it was awesome. The staff was very educated and knowledgeable about everything, not only to obtain your license but for when you actually start to drive for your job. (Real life situations) Joe was awesome! He was the best at explaining skills and the pre trip inspection part of course. He made every day fun to learn. The amount of hands on learning this course provides is perfect. It should be applied to regular driver license courses. All the staff was there for you as a student from day one and actually cared. I would recommend this class for everyone looking to expand their careers in truck driving,

Instructor Sim Bates demonstrated exceptional patience throughout my training. I tend to set very high standards for myself, and learning trucking took me a bit longer to fully grasp than I expected. However, Sim stayed the course with me, provided steady guidance and encouragement, and ultimately helped me achieve my goal. I’m truly grateful for his support and dedication.

CL Driving school is a top notch facility, school and Institute. The staff is super helpful, very intelligent, well trained, very experienced truck drivers who have turned instructors. Most important very patient with all students from all over the world, from different cultures languages. They take a personal interest in each and every one of the students.Nerio was very helpful in the training and testing after being out of a truck for 35 years. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who is interested in getting a CDL for a better opportunity for employment. Joseph with excellence patients at a grand knowledge for driving, was an outstanding instructor with the way that he brought his experience to the classroom. A big shout out to Douglas, who pointed out some key information on my technique of driving the day of the exam. Thank you, Douglas. The info was a big help to get me through my driving portion of the exam. Malachi, keep up the good work, and all the encouragement you give the new students, you have an awesome teaching techniques, and your patience is outstanding young man.

I have completed my CDL lessons, and I truly want to thank all the instructors. Every instructor worked with me one-on-one and put in their full effort to help me succeed. They are patient, professional, and genuinely care about their students’ progress. They take the time to explain everything clearly and make sure students feel confident and prepared. I really appreciate their hard work and dedication. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to get their CDL and learn the right way.

Been thinking about getting your CDL? Then look no further!! I’ve been a diesel mechanic for years and was worried I would be bored out of my mind! But the instructors here made the 4 week class go by super fast and we had a lot of fun. My on road driving instructor NERIO was fantastic. Learned a lot on top of what I already knew. The skills instructors were great as well!! John the inspector was great and was a wealth of knowledge!!

CL Driving School is the best CDL A school in Charlotte area. The instructors and staff were very nice and care about your success. Everyone one of them have their own teaching techniques and their techniques worked as long as you followed their instructions. The great place to learn and its affordable. I 100% recommend anyone to go to this school if you are looking for CDL A school.

Overall experience was excellent. All personnel, including instructors, were very professional and helpful. All instructors very knowledgeable, I can not single out one in specific, as my favorite instructor, due to the fact that all of them are cut from the same material. They might have slightly different techniques to teach, but all are top notch. Since day one I am recommending co-workers to attend CL Driving School. I hope the lord will keep giving them strength to continue with their magnificent labor. Thank you all, from William the 3rd, WILLIAM III. Instructors, at CL School performed a wonderful job. Last but not least, I like to mention that techniques showed to me by an instructor name JOE(JOSETH), we’re very important to me. It helped me master the skills part of the final test. Thank you all. See you soon. As days pass by on my new job, as a professional truck driver, I keep remembering all the good skills that were instructed to me by very professional instructors. I like to mention the name of Sim Bates, the teaching techniques to drive on the road are very helpful to succeed as a good driver. Thank you sir. Also Drew and Carlos helped me a lot with the skills and pre trip inspection. Thank you.
