Advantage Driver Training 200 McDonald Avenue, Joliet, IL 60431

"Every Instructor, including the owner and his family are extraordinarily rude, mean, and unbelievably unprofessional at every level especially when it comes to dealing with their students. I was in the Marines for four years and Advantage Truck Driving School was worse in how they spoke to and treated you. every day I attended class, every instructor did their best to emotionally and intellectually insult every student. Please, believe all of the negative reviews about how rude they are to their students. Additionally, I attended for four months and never once got any truck to learn how to drive even though I had completed all of my testing prior to attending the school. even though I passed my oral exams for the air brake and pre-trip, I never once had a chance to drive one of the trucks because as other students said, the place is extraordinarily overcrowded, and disorganized. Because of this disorganization and overcrowded mess, they do not have a logical format in which students can have time behind the wheel. I ended up quitting the school and going elsewhere. Best of luck if you decide to attend after all the warnings, you will regret it."

"Pretty decent CDL facility. I’d recommend them due to flexibility and good payment options. I will definitely say you get out of it what you put into it. You’ll plan on being here more than 5 weeks (days full time) if you aren’t really focused and dialed. You’ve got to be attentive because people who spend more time than they need to usually are not utilizing their time effectively. It was priced competitively and they will do anything they can to help you succeed as long as you’re trying. No hidden fees."

"Mike and Ryan are 2 of the best instructors I had there as long as you listen to what you're told the class is easy and goes by fast. Would definitely recommend this school to anyone."

"This school is great! Do not believe bad reviews of lazy students! Not only did they teach me a lot and give me plenty of one on one instruction! They also worked with me through some very serious family issues. Could not be happier! Randy Carter, Manny Cavasos, Becky,Larry all amazing staff members who go out there way to make sure you get all the help you need!!!"

"Worst CDL school to learn at if you're a beginner the Instructors have no patience & don't know how to teach . Especially in a Manual truck to a Beginner. My company Pulled me from the program & i went to 160 driving academy & Got My CDL when i went to 160 i instantly grasped the concept & it was so easy coming from teachers who actually know how to teach . I would only refer this school to people who are Advanced & know a thing or two about manual transmissions."
