All the instructors were very encouraging and knowledgeable about the truck!The instructors was very patient! Doug was very knowledge "an asshole but I appreciate him very much!
Eric was my cool very knowledgeable and helped me to keep pushing forward! Matt " drive the tandems" helped me to get better understanding of the truck.

If you are considering getting your Cdl’s I recommend going with Roadmaster!!!! They completely help you from start to finish and beyond with starting your career in trucking!! I couldn't have had a better experience with road master. My instructors were all amazing and super helpful. They all played a huge role in my success and I can't thank them all enough for believing in me when I felt discouraged. Thank you Blair for pushing me to greatness. Thank you Uncle Matt for being my voice of reason when I faced adversity. Thank you Eric for so many encouraging words. Thank you Doug for for being the thought in my head and turning me in to a truck driver!!! I love you all!!

The instructors take there time and do everything they can to give each and every student a high quality education. All the instructors are highly skilled in various ways, from having experience teaching people to fly in the military, or even 25+ years driving experience.

Great classroom very educational , outside training time was ok would definitely recommend finding someplace with actual pavement to train on beforehand.Lots of new drivers dig ruts on the alley dock and there’s no way to smooth out the 3 foots ruts.instructors teaching maneuvers are great and teach multiple different ways to do the maneuvers and are very helpful and patient .

I definitely learned a lot and loved the experience. The instructors all do their jobs very well teaching you everything they know about trucking. They also made it a lot of fun. My favorite was Doug...he made it very clear what to do and how to do it and you can tell he cares about teaching you he also works very hard. I liked all of the instructors though they all have they're own ways of teaching and it was great for the learning experience having different points of view. I will definitely tell whoever is interested in a career over the road to go to Roadmaster!!!

I received the proper training to feel comfortable about getting on the road. The only issue is this location needs more instructors and trucks to get more practice time.

Everything I learned here is paying off in a big way!

Standing outside in the heat or cold can be rough, but everything I learned at roadmaster has paid off immensely. I was hired by a company after graduating, and the company has been thoroughly impressed with my driving as well as knowledge. My trainer at this company has stated that he's never had someone start driving that knew as much as I know. In speaking with multiple companies, trainers, and safety personnel, most students come into the truck with extremely crude knowledge of the basics, such as only being able to back the truck in a straight line. Roadmaster makes you proficient in straight line backing, angled (offset) backing, and alley docking (90 degree backing).

If you're not familiar with trucks, all drivers have to inspect their trucks at the beginning of their shift, known as a "pre-trip inspection." The level of pre-trip taught at Roadmaster goes above and beyond what most companies and trainers require, meaning you'll know if something is wrong with your truck almost immediately. This is a life-saving skill to have.

Finally, the on-the-road instruction is also above and beyond. In my short time being employed and on the road, this instruction has saved me from multiple potential issues. (Steve, I haven't hit a single curb yet. You'd be proud).

In conclusion, if you want to get started in this industry with an extremely impressive education, I'd recommend roadmaster 1000%!!!
