"My experience with the KTDS was a 5 star rating. I was fortunate enough to have all 3 instructors that have real life experiences that I’ll be able to use in the real world. With the help of Darrell, Chuck, and Tom I have my CDL, 1 and done. The instructors are very professional and truly care for each student to grasp the concept of driving semi trucks.”

Luis Q.

I came In with little to no knowledge of tractor trailers and I have to say that I am more than ready for my new career. Bryce and the instructors were very versed in their knowledge and taught very well. The most patient and caring instructors I’ve come across. They will get you ready for your CDL and won’t give up on you."
