I highly discourage anyone from signing up with Progressive Truck Driving in order to obtain a CDL A License. \r
\r
There are a number of reasons why I discourage anyone from signing up with Progressive and why I regret having taken their course; a student is not guaranteed a CDL after taking any of their courses; additional testing starts at $400; the curriculum is set up so students are almost certain to fail the CDL exam; there is no real instruction given in the classroom time; the school is constantly flip-flopping classroom instructors; students are required to buy a $70 book from Progressive that is not necessary for the course; students are required to sit through numerous recruiting sessions from Trucking companies like Schneider and Swift; a student will not be given a certificate of completion of the course until they apply to one of the recruiting companies; and the school performs random drug tests on their students while the student is enrolled.\r

As a graduate of Progressive, who passed the CDL A exam, I recommend you not to patronize Progressive Driving School. Save yourself a giant headache and money by researching other schools and applying elsewhere.
