So I'm going to start off by saying that this school is the real deal! They really show everything and teach you everything! Instructors are awesome! Each and everyone of them got their own ways to show and teach but that's the best part about it all. It's good to know a lot than a little. Super proud that I got to be a one and done and I would like to thank them all for the support and ways they make you learn and teach!
A true blessing also last thing I'm going to say and I hope you guys read this as well, you have to super committed and focus, invest in your self and don't think twice about if your making the wrong decision. If your mindset is at that, then take the time to really think about it and when you're ready to commit then continue on!

I did a lot of research on different driving schools vs going to a carrier school before deciding on ADTA. I was impressed with what they have to offer vs the other schools or carriers. ADTA has a fantastic reputation. They are highly respected in the industry with just about all major carriers as well as local companies that employment placement was a giving.
The hardest part about finding a job is deciding which company to pick. Many companies give preference to ADTA graduates over other applicants. Recruiters (local, regional, national) are constantly giving onsite presentations. There is an awesome career center where students or even graduates can stop in at the campus and look at potential employers (They don't stop helping you once you graduate.
You are a ADTA member for life.)The equipment is easy to learn on. They have a state of the art stimulator. The facility is crispy clean and very well maintained. The class sizes are small filled with both genders and all age groups. All of the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and truly care about the students. It's a family run school where everyone (staff and students) are treated like family.
The difference in a private school vs a carrier school is home time vs being away for a month or more as well as locked into a employment contract. They have a couple of different schedule options. The time truly just zips by. It is truly a challenging experience for an extremely rewarding career. I highly recommend ADTA. Call them today and find out for yourself. There is no pressure in just talking to them. Just give them a call and say hello. The time for a better life is now.

Coming to this school was one of my best decisions. All of the staff and instructors are extremely knowledgeable, professional and make your experience here comfortable. When I first attended this school, I was very nervous because I never drove anything larger than my own personal vehicle. The instructors here are motivational and push you to do your best to be successful.
I'm proud to say I am now a Class-A CDL holder with Hazmat, Tanker and Double/Triple endorsements! I graduated with a 4.0 GPA because I pushed myself to do better every single day. I now work as a regional driver for DOT Foods and I couldn't be any happier with my decision. I couldn't have done any of this without American Driver Training Academy. I HIGHLY recommend this school!

American driver training academy is a great place to enroll in to learn how to drive a cdl class a tractor trailer. The instructors work very well with the students and they have a low student to teacher ratio which helps ensure you get the proper attention during your time in the class. They emphasize the importance of safe driving which benefits everyone on the road!

This school changed my life! The staff and instructors are by far the greatest and most inspirational people that you'll encounter! Everyone motivates you to be and do better than your best! When I first applied to attend the school I was scared and nervous because driving anything outside of a 2 axle vehicle can be pretty intimidating. All nerves disappeared the first day.
Everyone made me feel so comfortable and valued. I have gained so much knowledge in the past few weeks and couldn't be more excited to drive the open road. The enrollment process was smooth and easy. I was treated with just as much respect and care as all of the men in my same class. If you are interested in REALLY LEARNING how to safely operate a commercial vehicle ADTA is definitely the right choice! They guided me through my entire journey even after graduating and starting my new career. I couldn't be more thankful! Highly recommend!

ADTA is the best training school in Delaware. I recently moved to DE from CT, in CT I was in a training school for 1 year and didn't learn anything, came to DE and joined ADTA, got my CDL in 17days. If you are looking for a school, I highly recommend ADTA. I want to thank Mr. Juan, Warren, Darrel, Tim & Chad, they definitely played a big part in all this. Thanks Mrs. Geo and Kandi for always making sure we had a good day and made good choices. Make sure you guys rub that wall for goodluck. MR.ONE N DONE -

I had an amazing experience at ADTA! The instructors are all very knowledgeable and subject matter experts in their field. They are constantly repeating tasks from the classroom, to the yard for maneuvers, and out on the road driving the trucks so that it sticks in your mind and becomes second nature. They give you every tool you need to be successful in getting your CDL.
The instructors give you 100% effort every day, if you match their effort you will be successful. I took the 4 week class and passed my test, one and done. If you make a mistake, they give you the opportunity to fix it on your own before they step in so that you learn how to correct yourself. I want to thank Ms. Kandi, who is the first person you see in the morning and the last person you see as you leave.
She greets you with a smile everyday. I also want to thank the instructors, Mr. Juan, Mr. Warren, Mr. Tim, Mr. Jeff, Mr. Don, Mr. Chad, Mr. Mike, and Mr. Derrell for all the training and knowledge they passed on to me and my fellow classmates. Last but not least, I want to thank Ms. Geo and Ms. Jaden for giving me the opportunity to take the course.
This is a very professional staff at ADTA, and I high recommend anyone interested in getting their CDL to get your training at American Driver Training Academy. Thank you all again!

I got scammed by this school. I paid $5900 cash I can't elaborate to much to what had happened. I'm trying to find a attorney if I could give them no stars I would I need. Prior to me attending 4 week course program. They waited until I had two days left to take the test to tell me to go home. My attendance was always on time ect. On top of all that I quit my job to attend this school. Only to waste money on gas driving there everyday Monday through Friday. Plus I have bills to pay. This place may be good for some people but they did me wrong.

Best CDL school around hands down. All the instructors and staff were excellent and very knowledgeable. I felt like they were going to do whatever it took to make sure I had the tools I needed to start a successful driving career. Definitely worth the investment. Thank you American Driver Training Academy!

One & Done Thank you American Driver Training Academy, I did the 4 week course, first I would like to say I came to the school simply because of their reviews. I knew no one who attended. The reviews speak for themselves. Other than that each instructor is amazing with a great attitude & knows how to keep each person motivated. They learn your personality & your speed of learning the first day, giving them the opportunity to work on your weaknesses while keeping your strength up to par!
The school Director Mrs. Jaden is amazing it shows that her energy passes down to her instructors, which pass down to the students! Mrs. Jaden makes sure her instructors are happy which in reality makes us students enjoy the school even more. They have techniques that are on point meaning if you follow instructions, your maneuvers etc. will come out nearly perfect every time!
Sometimes so perfect you smile that you chose this school! Literally everyday their motivation is pushing you to work even harder! I would like to thank Mrs. Jaden & her husband! Miss Kandi is super cool & helpful (cares just like the instructors) & Instructors: Mr. Juan, Mr. Warren, Mr. Jeff, Mr. Don, For training me & pushing my capabilities to the MAX! Also they train you so well the actual test feels like a piece of cake!

I have nothing but great things to say about American Driver Training Academy, the entire staff was absolutely phenomenal. The instructors are the best - their knowledge, professionalism, and patience are second to none. I had never driven anything close to a big rig in my life; next thing I know, I obtained my CDL-A in 19 days and the job offers are already coming in.
If you are looking to make a career change or just starting out, and would like freedom and making great money, then get yourself to ADTA as soon as possible. It'll be well worth the time! Thanks again guys!
