I sign up for 160 hours training hours which is at least 5 hours every day, but in reality they give me 30 minutes only to drive. Also at the 30 minutes there are students doesn't pass the driving test, so they came and practicing in my truck at my time the time I paid for it. I give them chance for three days, but they still kept did it with me, so I decided to took my money back. Update: MICHELLE great awesome person she gives me my money backwith out the $250 for class registration. Instructors Karl great guy.

When I went to Western, I received the class room and drivers training time required to take my DMV tests. What I got from Western was: 30 year old videos to watch, a print out to memorize on brake tests and inspection, CDL prep test app, that taught me all the answers to the DMV questions and a night instructor that played on his phone 4 hrs a night.
Mark and Karl taught me more in 3 days. The school was back logged with driving test dates, so I didn't get to take my driver's test for 8 weeks after I finished school. They didn't have enough trucks and blamed the DMV, a total lie. I passed my driver's test on the first try, got all of my endorsements and went right to work. Thank God I got a great Leader(trainer) at Werner, I was totally unprepared to drive a 53' trailer with 40k lbs of cargo.

Instructors were great. Karl and Billy do their best to train the students with the equipment they have. Was started training on a freightliner then was not able to drive because it broke down. They also had a volvo that was not in operation.half way thru my course they finally brought in a penske rental with a day cab which was shared with multiple students. Was able to get on the road driving only a week after my courses were over(5 days before my DMV appointment); I payed for day classes and the only way was to go to the night class after the rest of the students went home, only then was i able to get some street training after 10pm!.Come on western step it up.i really wouldn't recommend this school. Very poor business management from corporate.if i could get my money back i would!

Its ok and I will give better review once I completely am done with the Class A course. Right now I have achieved my permit with all endorsements. And learned my 7 point Air Breaks test by memory. Straight back, parallel parking. Etc. Half way through. So U can do it! If U really want it! Plenty of work with great pay and Benefits to boot. Just keep in mind these Big Rigs are not toys.; God Speed!
