I just graduated from Start CDL and the experience was excellent. The instructors know the material inside and out, and they make sure you understand every part of the process — from permit prep to pre‑trip, backing, and road skills.What stood out most was the patience and consistency. They don’t rush you, they train you until you’re confident. The equipment is solid, the yard is organized, and the staff actually wants to see you succeed.I came in focused on getting my CDL and walked out fully prepared for the road and for real job opportunities. If you’re serious about getting your CDL, Start

Took the ELDT theory online and then did the practical in NJ. the trucks were decent., my instructor Mike was patient which helped a lot because i was nervous. price was fair compared to other places i called. good school overall just make sure you study for the permit first

I highly recommend this CDL school. The instructors provide excellent guidance and all the necessary resources to help you pass in just a few weeks. The trucks are modern, well-maintained, and there are enough of them for every student to get plenty of practice time. The school also provides helpful videos and a lot of useful study information, which made learning much easier. Everything we were taught matched exactly with what was on the exam, so I felt fully prepared and confident. The instructors explain maneuvers clearly, and the pre-trip inspection lessons are very well structured and easy to follow. Overall, it was an awesome experience, and I would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking to get their CDL.
