I didnt even have a drivers license and only drove a car 3 times at the age of 38 I went to…read moreAmerican Truck Drivers and spoke with the owner Jaden I told her I really wanted to be a truck driver and would do whatever it takes. She personally taught me in her own car how to drive It took about a month and she took me for my drivers license. I then joined the class the offered. The time they put into all of us just felt like family. Jaden even took her own time and extra hours teaching me how to backup I just cant thank her and the family at American Truck Drivers enough. Its been 5 years and I now have 14 trucks in my company and growing Is just so hard to believe. I still talk with Jaden and hire drivers from her when I can. I highly recommend them. Thank you always

What a disappointment American Driver Training Academy ADTA was for me. Beware of this school. In…read morethe trucking industry most tractor trailer trucks are 95 to 100% automatic transmission vehicles, this school only teaches manual double clutch method of driving. NO ONE in the industry is using double clutch method any more. Most professional trucking carriers have switched all their trucks to 100% automatics, it's easier for the drivers and the carriers for ease of use, fuel efficiency and maintenance reasons. In the next couple of years the double clutching (manual) method of driving a tractor trailer will be a thing of the past in the trucking industry. SO WHY in God's name does ADTA force you to learn a method that is basically obsolete???? After being at the school for 2 weeks and getting my Learner's permit, I had trouble with the double clutching, didn't like it at all, and asked if I could be trained on an automatic transmission vehicle, that request was denied.... Because they don't offer that training and don't have any automatic transmission trucks to train with at the school, zero!! Also they never mentioned this when I signed up, that to me is classic bait and switch... they hid this fact until week 2 when we first jumped into the tractor trailer. If they had told me upfront they only trained manual double clutch method, I would have gone to a different CDL school.... and they didn't have any automatic tractor trailers to train in any way.... They are hoping people coming to the school, and remain nieve to this industry standards!! Plus they charge top dollar for obsolete training. I asked for a full refund, they refused. In addition to all of this, American Driver Training Academy had me blacklisted to other schools and the trucking industry in general. I have tried to continue my training with several our schools and with trucking carriers, and each time I get rejected... no reasons given, just rejected. This is classic example of little guy, me, getting beat up by a big bully, ADTA. They have basically ruined my career, my future in the trucking industry!!! This is deception at its worst! I for one am tired of the big corporation companies, like ADTA who are nothing but Bullies that take every advantage of their students/customers with bad non standard trucking industry training but can have a big smile on their faces as they take your money. Boycott this school, Avoid this school at all costs. Their are much better CDL training schools out there, with modern training methods and modern equipment to train you with, and at a much cheaper rate and at a shorter training time!! I have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau, and The Delaware and New Jersey Departments of Consumer Affairs. I have also contacted a law firm to represent me in the matter of lost tuition funds, damaged reputation, wasted time on an obsolete driving method and destroying my future career in the trucking industry. Don't go to this school they have outdated training methods, old non standard rundown equipment, and take too long to train you for your CDL license and are way underpriced compared to other CDL Training Schools. They took my money refused to training me with current industry standards of CDL training and then blacklist me from even finishing any where in the trucking industry and stopped me from getting a very much needed job!!! I have NEVER given a scorching review like this one before but, when someone steals from you not just money but steals your reputation and your future to make money!!!
