Smith & Solomon Commercial Driver Training

If I could get my money back, there would be no hesitation...
There is a total lack of management skill at every level in this "school". In their lot they have about 5 trucks running with 2-3 instructors running around trying to keep track of them all. There are about 15-20 students per truck meaning you have to wait the better part of an hour (usually more, actually) before you can go again. Some of these trucks are so old and worn down that you literally can't do the maneuver and the instructor has to go switch it out (which is another hour, completely wasted). They promise you can get your cdl in 4-6 weeks, this is an outright lie. It'll take 4-6 weeks before you can even schedule a road test which has a wait time of about a month. Here's the real kicker though: they say they have a 1 week money back guarantee, what they don't tell you is that they keep you in the classroom for that time so you don't see how horrible things really are until it's too late. This school is dishonest, unorganized, unprofessional, and ill-equiped. Please do yourselves and your loved ones a favor, please don't go to this school. I regret it with every fiber of my being and I don't want to see anyone else go through this.

I wish i could give this "School" 0 stars. First off my finance attends this garbage "school" or should i say TRIES to attend, by that i mean every single day in the week of 02/08/16 -02/11/16 he drove to school and either no one was there or they did not even start until after 6 pm when classes are supposed to start at 5 PM give or take a couple of minuets. Do we have to remind these instructors that we wasted hundreds of dollars to get TRAINED by these incompetent people. I say incompetent because my finance used to be in day time classes and switched to night and had to get his id changed to the "blue" color and sent me a picture of a sign in the office that reads "Weekend is green color. Nights is blue color Days is yellow Color. I am certain that this does NOT make any sense but hey lets give these people hundreds of dollars and have them train us to get a class A license which is very detailed but yet they cant even type up a sign. Now getting back to last week, he did not once step in a truck and get to practice and even before he switched to night classes and was in day classes i think maybe he got in the truck ONCE every 2 hours. If this place doesn't get there act together soon I myself will do all i can to get our money back and go somewhere else. You guys make all this money but yet were using trash cans as cones??? Give me a break. If you want to succeed and get your CDL DO NOT GO HERE.

Piece. Of. Crap. School.

My fiancé got conned into coming here, and we couldn't regret it more. The only thing this school did right, is allow perspective employers to come in and talk about their company.

This school claims to take 6 weeks to give you 160 hours of training and give you your CDL; this is my fiancé's 6th week and he's so far spent about 4 hours behind the wheel: the other 156 hours were spent waiting behind other students to get in the truck. They give you little to no practical help in learning to safely drive, or to even pass the test: they merely allow you the privilege of sitting in their truck and turning it on.

Just today (the middle of his 6th week) they bothered to inform him that he isn't scheduled to take his test this Friday as he had believed: he isn't allowed to schedule his road test until he has paid in full: and, there is a 2 month wait to take the test, once scheduled.

So, here we have a school that takes your money, makes you pay extra for your own permit, allows future employers to talk to you, allows you to wait in their lines, and allows you to think you'll learn something and have a CDL in 6 weeks: where as, you'll actually have a migraine, a huge bill and no CDL for at least 3-4 months. If you're lucky.

instructors were great. Extremely patient and willing to help. Overall good experience. Thank you!

They told me I would be licensed in 2 months, it has been five months already and I still haven't gotten the oportunity to practice out on the road. They have way to many students and not enough instructors. I get two turns parking the truck every day, rest of the time just waiting. Approximately 2 to 3 hours between turns. It's ridiculous!!! Do NOT go to this school.
