The DMV testing examiner was so impressed with our performances he remarked that it was a pleasure to test people who were so knowledgeable.

We feel that we were not only trained to pass the tests, but that we have a thorough and complete knowledge of the Air Brake Systems, Hazardous Materials, and Tanker Endorsements as required per the California Commercial Drivers License Program. In addition, the One-on-One Defensive Driving course has given us the confidence we need while driving the truck.
