    Dave was on time and was very helpful after the road test in explaining what I did right or wrong.

    This is a solid school, originally built on the standards set by its predecessor, the late and…read morerevered Ed Taylor. A few of the folks at TaylorMade were hired by Ed. It is evident that they have been able to maintain the quality and caliber of education to the founder's high standards. Truck driving school is quite an investment of time and money and you have to make sure that its for you. You also want to do it right - it's a hell of a lot of responsibility and it is not easy. Driving a truck is a calling and a profession. I took time to research the trucking schools between the Canadian border and south to Everett. I checked out the reviews, the websites and I took the time to drive around Skagit, Whatcom and Snohomish counties looking for a great truck driving school - driving around their yards and snooping around. I chose TaylorMade Truck Driving School in Burlington and I have no regrets. They are not the least costly school, but the program is very thorough and anticipates all of the costs extra. They will work with you, and they won't give up on you. This made all of the difference for me. The instruction was top notch. The instructors are all very different, but they meet and talk in the mornings and at the end of each day. Each student's learning day is graded; the score cards are used as talking points between the instructors. This communication of student progress really allows for a high level of individually tailored instruction. The best part is that the lead instructor is a natural at teaching. He really gets it and truly understands that every person learns differently; the key to success in teaching is finding out how each student learns. It certainly worked for me, an old guy who needed a late life career change. This old dog learned some new tricks and I have the folks at Taylor Made TDS to thank. They rock!

    Enjoy my email thread with WMST (in chronological order):…read more First email 5/1/2023: "Hi there, My name is Christopher and I missed this morning's class in Monroe due to several things outside my control that I believe need to be brought to your attention: The address for the classroom is not on the receipt (nor is the time), and the address on the website leads you to a grassy field in Monroe next to Evergreen Speedway with no further information other than to look for a building with a green roof (there are several). There are no signs nor contact numbers to call at 7:30am, including the instructors. I wandered around Evergreen speedway for an hour (I arrived at 7:15am) looking for a "green roof building" and a "guard house", both of which are on the opposite side of the property from the address that is on the website. No "WMST class (this way)" signs, no pictures of the building to meet in front of on the website, literally nothing to help someone who's never been to Evergreen Speedway. By the time I found them (which took asking three different people before I got the correct answer), I was 45 minutes past the class start time (after driving an hour to get there in the first place) and was turned away. I then proceeded to spend another hour and a half in the car driving home against I-405 traffic. The instructor was apologetic (and promised I could reschedule without further cost), and I appreciate that this isn't specifically anyone's fault, but it is *extremely* poor planning on the part of WMST. No signs, no further info on website, no way to contact anyone for help, a vague address and even more vague directions? This class can be done much better. I hope that you will allow me to reschedule my class at no additional cost, as I took two days off work and cancelled a doctor appointment to take this course today and tomorrow. Please, can you help me get registered into another class? Thank you" 2nd email 5/3/2023: "Hello, I contacted a couple days ago about getting a rescheduling for the beginner motorcycle permit class and haven't heard back. I missed the class due to preventable reasons outside my control. Can you please help me get a reschedule confirmation? Thanks" 3rd email 5/7/2023: "Hello, I contacted six days ago about getting a rescheduling for the beginner motorcycle permit class at no additional cost and haven't heard back. I missed the class due to preventable reasons outside my control which I listed in the first email, and make $300 a week, so it was a very expensive investment for me. Can you please help me get a reschedule confirmation? Please give me a call at (425)313-1091 or reply to this email. I am frequently away from the phone, so I've been using email because it is a much more reliable form of contact for me. Thanks" Their reply ten days later: "Good morning Christopher I'm sorry that I have been unable to reach you by phone on both May 1st and today.. Unfortunately, I am unable to reschedule this course with the original tuition paid. I can re-enroll you with a 10% discount in a future course as a courtesy. I'm sorry you had difficulty finding the course. The instructors did try to reach you by phone however you had provided a home telephone number instead of a cell phone. The instructors did wait in front of the green roof building restrooms per the email instructions until 7:40am to try to meet up with you. I have reviewed the email instructions for the location and they seem to be very accurate for this location" Basically called me an idiot and a liar, claimed I gave them the wrong phone number (no messages at home, which was not unoccupied during my absence, either) and kept my money after promising a free reschedule. No where in America does anyone get away with keeping money after not delivering promised goods and services, except WMST apparently. Do not trust them. Do not use them. Go *anywhere* else. You have been WARNED.

    I just passed my 3-wheel Vehicle Riding Course (Basic Sidecar/Trike Course) and I couldn't have…read morebeen more excited! It was 2 days of class that ran from 8am - 6pm. The morning half consisted of classroom time and the afternoon half was riding time. Don't be late! We learned quite a bit on safety and the capabilities of these 3-wheeled vehicles. There were quite a few models of Can-am Spyders and Rykers, as well as Trikes and motorcycles with sidecars. We were able to try out any we wanted. Both the written and riding tests are given on the 2nd day. Lee and Ray are wonderful instructors! They both had a great sense of humor and kept us engaged in the classroom. Their teaching style just works and I vastly improved in the 2 days of class. I had so much fun! I highly recommend class with the both of them. I did get my 2-wheel motorcycle endorsement from this location back in 2009. I took the (BRC) Basic Riders Course as well as the Additional Riding Session. They will hold the class no matter what the weather is so be prepared. I recall taking my BRC class during winter and the rain was horizontal with the parking lot filled with water. It definitely made it interesting when it came down to testing. If you're thinking of getting on a 2-wheel or 3-wheel vehicle but have never ridden before or have experience and just want to get your endorsement, this is the place to go.
