CNS training center was hands down the best experience I could hope for in earning my cdl. All the staff was very pleasant and professional. From my experience Dave Constible and Don Custer were the best trainers I could ask for. Always listening to my concerns and helping me find ways to solve them that worked best for me. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a program to get your CDL.

I used this company to acquire my Cdl-A, and my experience was great as I had three different instructors Darryl, Don, and my test was with Marty. These guys are extremely experienced and without their tips and instructions I might not had succeeded. I would recommend CNS if your considering getting your endorsement.

My wife decided to go to this school to get her CDL and it really was the best decision. I went to her several times and all the people were very kind. Her teacher was Cindy, a very experienced truck driver. This is coming from someone with 15 years of CDL experience. She taught her very well everything she needed to get on the road. My wife passed all her practical tests on the first try, which is why I recommend this school and especially Cindy.

FAQs: What's your Question?

To utilize Company Contract Training you need to work for a company that is paying for your CDL or own your own company, which would be taking on paying for the CDL. Ultimately, it is a different program specific to an employee of a company and there are different requirements than the CDL School Training.

The time you start will be completely dependent on your availability and our CDL Instructor availability. We are very flexible and can usually meet tight deadlines, but there are factors that could delay the training process.

You should be able to complete your training and get your CDL within 30 days of your final sign-up and enrollment. This means you are completely paid up, we have all necessary documentation (Physical, Drug Test, MVR, etc.) and are able to put you on the training schedule.
