"I researched the trucking industry and spoke over the phone with 3 schools in the Sacramento area.  I met with Robby first, it was quickly clear to me that his was the best school and the best choice.  Robby is truly a caring and dedicated person and it doesn't end after you've paid the tuition, he sincerely cares about your success.  Stephanie, she keeps the office running, she's dedicated, honest, caring and one of the sweetest people I've ever met.  Finally, KT is a GREAT instructor, from your written tests to your skills and finally your drive test.  In between it all you will have fun.  I paid for the school out of my own pocket and it was the smartest money I ever spent.  Thank you."

"I needed a career change to better support my family.  My childhood dream was to become a truck driver.  We researched schools in the area.  Robby's school stood out the best.  Terrific one-on-one teaching and flexible schedules.  Your instructor will be there with you all the way to DMV testing.  Truck driving changed my life.  I enjoy my job as a Union driver with great benefits and home every night.  In this bad economy, I am very fortunate to be where I am today."

"The day I passed my drive test for my class A license, I filled out job applications on Robby's computer. Within an hour I had two calls and I was immediately hired a week later. Stephanie even faxed my company all my paperwork making my employment shockingly fast and easy. Now, six months later I'm driving a 2007 Volvo teaming with another graduate!!! Robby has been so great to me from the first time I called him. I still go and visit them when I come back for hometime and I'm always met with smiles. I now have tons of confidence and enough experience to come back to Sacramento and get a local job which Robby is already helping me get. Friendly staff, great instruction, and lifetime career placement are just a few reasons to go to CDLC. Thanks Robby and Stephanie!"

"
Robby has a Killer School!
Everything from the classroom prep to the actual hands on training is first rate.  Our instructor, Alan's, practical and easy to understand teaching enabled me to obtain my license with confidence on the first try. He made it all possible for me to have a new profession.  Alan gave me the coat off his back during a  cold winter's day of outside teaching. That's the kind of caring guy he is. (But don't even think about messing with his coffee, he draws the line there.) My thanks to Robby, Alan and Staff."

"What a great experience this school is !!! From the time you first contact Robby you see the excitement he has for his business and Stephanie is awesome. From the "in class" to the trucks and then to the paved training yard...It's all top notch. The hidden gem in all of this is Alan the school instructor...This guy is the MOST patient person you could ever meet !!! From the the first day of class you are slightly overwhelmed by the amount of training materials you are given...3 days later you are at DMV taking tests and passing with flying colors. The system works very well. Starting the Second week you are at the yard for the remainder of your training. With each following week your confidence and ability grows, by the time you return to the DMV for the driving and skills testing you will be prepared to pass all the testing. I don't think I could have made a better choice in schools, just a fantastic experience !"

"
First of all, I would like to thank my family and friends who have made this possible for me to go to school and receive my Class A.  CDLC, couldn't of asked for anything better. I am glad out of all the schools in the valley, I chose this one. Like a lot of fellow alumni have said, it all starts with the first call to the school to Robby. From then on the whole school makes you feel at home and is willing to help you now and  throughout your career. First and most all, the instructor, Alan,makes you feel at home and is the BEST instructor, teacher, or professor that I have ever had. He has a way of teaching like no other. Alan tells it how it is and even though you may think you are doing it right, he may call you out on it, and you may not know as much as you think.Trust me and listen to him he knows what he saying. Anyone seriously looking to get their class A, this is the school, it's both fun and informative. I already miss going to the classroom and the yard, I had a blast. You can tell what type students come out of this school  (thank you Josh), they are willing to help you if you have any questions. All I have to say is thank you Robby, Stephanie, Alan, and Robert."

"I am a Class A Driver and graduate of the CDLC program offered by Robby Wilson. I am here to say this is the most user friendly program available in the Sacramento Valley. The experience starts with the telephone call where you will find Robby's enthusiasm and passion for the work he offers. Having spoken to many other schools I had not found such a welcoming person until I spoke with Robby. The next steps in the process flow very well, from meeting Robby, Steph and Alan to entering the class room. Alan is an amazing instructor. He has found a flawless program for upgrading the driving skills of anyone who is willing and able to adhere to his program. The cost of tuition is well worth every dollar. In the short time of the program you will learn all the necessities of handling Class A vehicles. After your time in class and driving with Alan you will have all the skills to pass the DMV Test. There is an X factor you get from the program that can be easily found if you pay attention and take the suggestions given to you. This Program will give you a confidence in your abilities as a Driver. When you get serious and want to get your Class A give Robby a call.  He will take good care of you."

"I passed the test!!! I officially have my CLASS A LICENSE!!!! Thank you very much for everything!! you have great instructors!! Alan was great, he made you feel like you were at the DMV, Kevin was awesome! He made me calm down and relax before my test and he was also a great skills teacher! Kevin really knows what he is doing. I would recommend this school 100% to anyone!!"

"CDLCis Killer, I went to many schools to find out wich school was right for me.
After going to the school and meeting Stephanie, I was contacted by Robby Wilson and after just talking to him I knew this was the best school in Sac.
I worry about everything, but after the fourth day I had my permit and just a few weeks later I got my CDL A.
Alan Nunes is a great instructor, in the classroom and out, thank you Alan.
The master of the skills is Kevin. He makes everything flow together, great guy and instructor,Thanks KT.
So if you want to get your CDL GO TO CDLC! No one else can hold a candle to this school or the great
people there.
Thank you Robby, Stephanie, Alan, and KT.
I love you guys."

"If you are looking for a school that offers a refresher course or a complete CDL course, this is the place to do it.  As for me, I was looking for a refresher course for my CDL.  After looking at all my options, I am glad that I chose CDLC.  The classroom prep was so straight forward that anybody could pass the written test the first time, also the staff, facility, and equipment were great.  Due to needing a local job, I had leads before I had finished my last class.  I now have a good job with a local company that has me home every night.  Thanks Robby, Alan and Stephanie!"







Steve


"I will tell anyone who asks, and many who don't, that if they want to learn to drive a big rig, the place to go is CDLC.  The classroom information is presented in a logical, common-sense format that made it easy to understand, and included lots of real-life experience that clarified the confusing parts, and made it seem like we knew what we were doing even before we touched a truck.  The written tests at DMV were accomplished without stress, and two of us in class aced the tests with zero mistakes!  The actual driving instruction was straight-forward and easy to learn.  The three instructors had more patience that I ever would, and were able to explain why what we did right was right, and why what we did wrong was wrong.  My class only had three students, and even when the driving part was combined with other classes, there was plenty of time behind the wheel, not just sitting watching others drive."






Vincent



"I would like to take this time to say thank you to you and your staff for the outstanding care and personal attention that was given to me at CDLC in June and July of this year. I visited many schools and you attitude and approach to training was the best and is what made me make the choice of attending your school, initially I had chosen another route to getting into trucking with one of the large trucking outfits and it was the most horrible experience I have ever had, your school left me at ease and gave me the confidence to succeed and I attribute this to your outstanding staff Alan, Andy and Kevin as well as the office staff and yourself. With in one week of graduation from your school I had interviews and offers, and have now started with a local company and love my new driving position, and this is all thanks to your school and dedicated staff, I will recommend your school to anybody who asks with out hesitation and tell them what a great job you have done for me."

"Time has been flying by been turning and burning freight for the past two weeks...Learned a lot at your school.  It has helped me immensely.  Stalled my truck once uphill. :)... Going to your place was one of my better decisions.  Hope you have a wait list for your school."









Gordon


"If this is your 1st step in earning a CDL, then look no further.  After my first phone call and meeting Robby in person, I found his rare enthusiasm to be genuine....Also, it was a nice surprise that through Robby's resourcefulness, I landed my first job just 13 days after graduating.  I've logged over 25,000 miles and routinely apply the skills I have learned on a daily basis...Talk to Robby, he's been like an anchor for me during the uncertainty of this career change-This was the right choice for me."






Greg


"I'd like to highly recommend CDLC to anyone considering a career in the commercial trucking driving industry.  A heartfelt thank you to Robby, Stephanie, Marvin and KT for all your patience, encouragement, and understanding of my needs, without which, I never whould have it through the process of obtaining my CDL.  It's because of these qualities that CDLC is gaining more and more recognition in the industry for their efforts and I wish for them a continued bright and prosperous future." 






Richard


"I did  a one week refresher class at CDLC.  I already knew how to drive and back the truck.  I was nervous about the pre-trip but I got my license.  Thanks Robby, you gave me my life back!"
