Great Lakes Truck Driving School

"Most of their trucks are complete trash. Always breaking down. Go to Tri-C. Sarah Batz runs the school and does a terrible job. She also “teaches” hazmat. Nothing she teaches is actually on the final test. Marvin is the best teacher at the school."

"Today I Officially graduated from Great Lakes Trucking school. S/O to LB,Chris & Matt wolf, they were real helpful and gave good advice. Overall all the instructors were great. Only negative thing I have to say is lack of instructors at night/part time, not enough instructors to properly train you. Avoid taking your state exam here, If you fail you will have pay about $100-180 to retake the test. Examiners/school are just in for the $ and will fail you. Huge scam. I advise to take your official Exam at Atlas CDL testing Exam center it’s a lot cheaper and will save you time and money."

"I could not be happier with my decision to attend Great Lakes. I took the 360 hour heavy equipment and CDL A course. This school is 100% top notch. I would also like to personally thank the heavy equipment instructors Sam and Bill they helped me from day one all the way through my state test. Two of the most Honest, Hardworking, professional people you will ever meet and their motivation was just to see me achieve my goals. Give Great Lakes a call it will change your life."

"I am currently enrolled in the school 200 hours for CDL. The class size was about 26 people this is horrible when it comes to spending time in the yard or on the road. You’re bounced around from one section to another without actually being taught the concept of the maneuver. There are a few instructors that actually help you and teach the maneuver then there’s others that you have to beg for help. I get it 26-40 ppl in the yard with 7 instructors but why take on so many students when you don’t have the trucks or the employees? Let’s do the math 26*6k. I get it now. Smh There’s so much more I could had done with $5700. There has been days that the students have waited for 2+ hours for the yard to be set up for the day. Then your hours for the day are now messed up because of them not being prepared. The only way you get help is if your company has a contract with them or you’re a woman. Other than that you’re not helped. Due to their incompetence some of us will be here longer than the 5 weeks that was discussed. As I said there are great instructors here the school is ran poorly just like a trucker mill."
