All-State Career School

"This school is useless the staff and how they do things 16 students and 1 truck i I could I’d put half a star. The instructors showed ya one time and sat in there viechles and watched is struggle. I do not recommend this school they don’t care if you get your cdl they are only after your money."

"From start to finish this place is top notch. Starting with Tammy in the office who keeps you informed with everything ahead of time, and she is friendly and helpful. Then to the classroom. Now we got Mike, this guy is spot on with teaching you everything you need for your CDL permit test. He leaves no page unturned and puts in the time and makes sure everyone is on the same page. Now to the range. Here we have Matt and Ben. Matt teaches you all the tricks and trades of shifting and maneuvering and you get plenty of seat time. Then there’s good ol Ben, that guy has more patience than anyone I know. My first day I thought I’m screwed but he takes his time with you and makes it easy to understand and he puts in all the time you need to get you ready for not just test day but to get on the road on your own. If you are thinking of going to All State do not hesitate. Do it now!! Thanks to everyone there for your true professionalism and for sharing your knowledge. Special thanks to Ben and Mike, man I can’t thank you guys enough!"

"I got my CDL 3 to 4 weeks after my class ended. Had no prior experience with any kind of truck let alone a manual. I would say the only saving grace for this school is it's staff. Mike was my teacher/instructor and he was AWESOME! Tammy and Chad were extremely helpful too. The company however, does not seem interested in investing into this school and would rather focus on other facilities it owns. How can you take money from your students and not invest in trucks for them, or your own private lot so that they may have the best training possible and the company can produce quality drivers?! During my course we had to share a lot with the "state", who, 70% of the time was using it, meaning we could not. Did not have the proper time for maneuvers. Also during my course we struggled to get trucks that actually worked, we went through 3 trucks, 2 of which broke down beyond fixing, 1 of them being the school's actual truck. The school had to borrow 2 trucks from Gypsum Express just to keep class moving, one of those 2 trucks were part of the 2 that broke down, the 3rd truck was meant to replace it. All this in a 4 week period! This is not fair to the school's workers to be handed down the crumbs from other facilities and it is not fair to the students who the company is not providing the best tools for training but will gladly take the students money. My conclusion, if you have 0 experience and are just starting out in the business and desperately need the training, go ahead and take the class, it may very well take you longer than 4 weeks to get it, but the staff will help you the best they can with what little corporate is giving them. For those are have any type of experience and just need a refresher, this is a good course. I'm giving them 2 stars because the staff was a awesome crew. But corporate gets a 1 star...... 0 stars if it would let me!"

"Very great school and staff! Tammy was super helpful with me from the beginning all the way through the end of class and also followed up after class and helped with finding a job! She’s amazing! My instructor Mike was very good and I was beyond prepared for my written test and driving test ! Mike was very knowledgeable and also made the training fun ! Excellent school and staff and I highly recommend!"

"Such a waste of time and money. Seriously this school is a bunch of criminals. The classroom time is spent reading line-by-line the same book available at the DMV free of charge. The driving time is limited and you are stuck in a truck with 4 other students all day. You’re lucky to get 90 min of driving time during the entire 9 hour day. Oh.... don’t forget about the driver recruiters you need to drive back to the office for 2-3 times a day. They took months to process my VA paperwork so don’t expect to get any money until months after you start. The Women in the front office also double as the instructors and told me how CMVs have hydraulic brakes. They read from the study guide, did online practice tests, and left us with recruiters. Such a waste of time."
