CDL Truck Driver Testimonial

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

A.H. from Burnsville was very happy with his training.  Here are his comments:

I had an excellent trainer; Pat Sr.  He made sure you knew what you were doing and understood how to do things correctly.  Pat is very understanding if you have never driven a big truck before and he makes it easy to improve.  Pat should get a raise!

Thanks for the comments.  I’m sure Pat Sr. will make sure the boss sees your suggestion.

T. W. drove in from Waconia for his training.  Here are his comments:

The people here were so very nice and a pleasure to be around.  They were always looking out for the students to make sure we were understanding every aspect of the training.  They focused on getting the CDL and then giving us the tolls to get to the next step and be able to land a good driving job.  I would recommend this school to everyone I know.  I enjoyed every minute I was here!!  Thank you so much!!!

Thank you T. W.  Drive safe and keep in touch with Facebook!

A. H. drove down from Brooklyn Center to complete her Professional Tractor Trailer Program.  Here are her comments:

I really enjoyed this learning experience.  In the classroom, Bill is like a fountain of very valuable knowledge.  Amy was totally awesume!  I learned so much and I am going to miss you all.  Thanks for this wonderful learning experience.  Of all the schools I had visited, I knew this was the right one and my experience confirmed I made the right choice!

Thanks, A. H.  We are going to miss you too.  Be sure to stop by with your truck when you are in the neighborhood.

A. S. from Minnetonka graduated from our 160 hour course recently.  Here are his comments:

I want to thank Interstate Truck Driving School for all their hard work and for believing in me when I  did not believe in myself.  I would like to thank Amy and Tim and Pat for all the valuable knowledge they shared with me.  I was blessed to have such wonderfull instructors!  Their 1st priority is Student Safety and their 2nd priority is to help the student pass the test to get the CDL license. 

I wish you all the best!

Thanks for the kind words A. S.  We wish you all the best also.  Come back and visit soon!

E. H. did not have to drive far from Inver Grove Heights to attend class.  Here are his comments;

The in depth classroom training with Bill and the one on one behind the wheel training with Pat Sr. gave me the knowledge, training, and confidence to make it in the real world.  When I started my training with Interstate I was still working part time and Pat Jr. was able to schedule my training around my work schedule.  I would highly recommend Interstate Truck Driving School to anyone who wants to become a truck driver.

 

E.H. has gone to work for TMC in Des Moines.  We hope to see him soon when he stops by with one of those beautiful trucks!
