What I learned at CTS that instructors are top notched truckers themselves!! They thrive on helping people to become truck drivers & be the safest on the road!! It's a 4 week course, 2 in the classroom, 2 in the truck!! They are the most recognized trucking school in the country & alot of trucking companies from local to major carriers hire from their school & you'll also get college credits for your school!!! I highly recommend them if you live in Tyler, Texas or the East Texas region. Very reasonable on their price!!! Very happy & proud that I got my training there!! I live in East Texas , I'm currently in training with a carrier but having problems with them so I'm coming back home for a local driving job. Not all Carriers are what you think & promise you one thing & you get shafted!!! But again, CTS school is the best in my eyes!!!
