I tried another truck driving school two times with no success and I’ve been trying to get my CDL Class A license for over 17 years. Progressive brought me my dream, finally. They teach you at your own pace and not how fast they feel you should learn.
The school is GREAT! The instructors & staff are very professional. They always attend to any issue! I was helped the most by the videos and techniques on how to memorize and understand during my studies. I will strongly recommend this school to anyone who is going to commercial driving school.
The lectures and pre trip study guide were helpful. Progressive offered an overall better program. My education here was outstanding. It was thorough and exciting.
This program really ensures the values of trucking. The excitement that they show when a person passes the exam makes people really feel good inside. I’m on to the next stage of my life. I will miss this place.
America lives by truck! Trucks are on the road 24 hours a day, every day of the year, carrying everything our nation needs. Our country depends on the trucking industry to deliver its goods. As we move toward the future, our communities will rely even more on swift and efficient trucking service, as our economy demands it.
