My experience with TransTech CDL School was very positive. The program was well-structured and provided the hands-on training needed to build confidence behind the wheel. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed. I would recommend the program to anyone looking to start a career in trucking.

I want to say a very big thank you to every single one of y’all at TransTech.
First, thanks to Brad, who was the first person I spoke to and the one who motivated me to do this.
Thanks to Liz, the second person I met — she’s really good at what she does, and she makes us some nice coffee too lol.
Thanks to Ty, the site manager, who was always coming around checking up on us to see if we needed anything.
Big thanks to Instructor Willie, who had us during the first week at the yard. He was very patient with all of us.
Thanks to Instructor Autry, who had us the first two days of our second week, teaching us how to drive, make turns, and introducing us to the Smith System before I switched to automatic lol.
And thanks to Instructor Frank, who really helped me improve and lock in with my Smith System. I still have to mention his name even though he’s no longer with TransTech.
Finally, a huge thanks to Instructor Kelly. She helped me lock in so well with my straight backing, offset backing, and 90s.
Big thanks to all of y’all. TransTech is the best!

It’s a short process but they give you the tools you need to succeed. Kelly, Autry and Willie going to make sure you got that pre trip down packed and if you need more time on backing all you have to do is ask. The only way you won’t succeed is if you don’t want to. I’ve been chasing this cdl for a long time now and trans tech def got me where I wanted to be .

I walked through their doors with zero experience behind the wheel of a commercial vehicle, and the transformation by the end of the course was a hug difference.
​The instructors are the heart of this program. Not only are they incredibly knowledgeable about the industry and the equipment, but they are also genuinely helpful and patient. They have a unique ability to identify your weakest points early on and work with you until those weaknesses become your strong suits.
​Whether it’s backing maneuvers, pre-trip inspections, or road driving, they don't just teach you how to pass the test—they teach you how to be a confident and safe driver. Only negative side would be the condition of the yard and the trucks other than that I would recommend.
Shoutout to the entire Fayetteville crew Ty, Kelly,Wille,Frank and Autry.

I would recommend this school for anyone trying to get their CDL! Brad helped me cover all bases and options to make sure i got a spot in the class. Once enrolled Ty made it feel like a family environment and that failing wasn't an option. She worked diligent to make sure everyone was well prepared to succeed. All the instructors are knowledgable and helped me in different ways. Kelly and Autry helped me especially and are very good and have a passion for what they do!

I had a great experience with TransTech CDL Training. Instructors ( Ms.Kelly, Ms.Redman & Mr.Autry) were knowledgeable, patient, and really took the time to make sure everyone understood both the classroom material and hands-on driving skills. The training was professional, organized, and focused on helping students succeed. They prepared me well for the CDL test and gave me confidence behind the wheel. I would definitely recommend TransTech to anyone looking to start a trucking career and get quality CDL training.

My experience with TransTech began with an efficient application process facilitated by Christina, who introduced me to a VA funding option previously unknown to me. Ms. Liz consistently provided assistance with administrative and operational requirements.
The CDL Training Course is comprehensive and well-structured. From the outset, the program’s strong emphasis on safety was evident, supported by a dedicated team of instructors.
Following permit acquisition, I transitioned smoothly to training with highly skilled professionals. Autry demonstrates a high level of expertise and approaches his instruction with notable enthusiasm. His extensive knowledge, paired with exceptional patience, significantly enhances the effectiveness of the CDL training. Kelly exhibits steadfast dedication and draws upon her own driving experiences to create an instructional environment that fosters self-confidence essential for success in obtaining a CDL. Both Autry and Kelly excel at breaking down complex driving techniques into understandable segments, providing consistent, constructive feedback tailored to varying skill levels, which cultivates a supportive learning atmosphere. Additionally, Willy and Frank contributed valuable insights and were readily available, even though they were not my primary instructors. The site is overseen by Ty, an encouraging leader who ensures smooth curriculum delivery and scheduling. Ty maintains excellent communication and motivation, which are instrumental for student achievement.
One area of concern is the need for greater investment in up-to-date equipment and resources that reflect industry standards. As a retired Army Warrant Officer, I recognize the importance of accomplishing objectives with limited resources; however, further capital investment in equipment and staff support would greatly enhance the student experience and outcomes. It is advisable for ownership to prioritize such investments.
In conclusion, this CDL Training Course offers a robust, professional pathway for those pursuing a commercial driving career, distinguished by quality instruction, practical training opportunities, and a strong focus on safety, making it a reliable choice for comprehensive CDL preparation.

This is the best cdl training school by far. My instructor Autry was very instrumental in teaching the fundamentals of driving a manual truck. The site manager Ty was very down to earth and keeps an open door policy with students. Kelly and Willie were very good at teaching backing maneuvers and driving techniques. I recommend this school for anyone interested in getting their CDL.

I'm a recent graduate from the Fayetteville location and I must say I had a great experience the entire time. I was blessed to work with all the instructors from Fayetteville and I can honestly say as a whole they are sincere in seeing you graduate successfully. Autry, Willie, Frank, and Kelly (instructors) all have unique and personable learning techniques that is adaptable to every learning curve. Autry (@TheInstructor/tiktok) has deep passion that is evident from the first time you meet him. Ms. Redman (site manager) is extremely helpful and resourceful in terms of providing tools and tips to help you succeed. I can't forget everyone in the office, mainly Mrs. Liz and Brad, that helps set the flow of this operation from behind the scenes with helpful readiness and relaxed business decorum. Thank you Trans Tech for your help in propelling me into my next chapter in life.

Let’s start by saying the instructors are amazing. All of them but specifically Mr. Autry and Ms.Kelly the dedication they’ve shown is amazing showing up and showing out for the students that’s what I love about it the most. They had a lot of patience with the students making sure that each student get the specific instructions that they need to be successful in the yard and on the road. Only negative is the condition of the yard it’s not as bad as all the other reviews make it seem but it could be better though.

TransTech CDL Training Fayetville is a prime example that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. For the amount I spent for my CDL class I was surprised to see foldout chairs and tables in the classroom. I was surprised to see the yard, the dirt, the holes, the old equipment.
But if you come to learn, to be taught, to absorb, and to come away with your CDL in 4 weeks this is the place for you.
All of the instructors are great teachers. But not only do they teach well, they take great pride in what they do. Each with a different technique, a different style, a different approach.
The end result is being able to learn the information needed where the only way you can’t succeed is if you don’t care or you don’t apply yourself.
Liz who works in the office works seamlessly to get you through the first week of literature and connect you with the career coach. Then Ty the site manager steps in and is accessible whenever you need her. Kelly, Willy, & Autry give you every tool you need to succeed and learn. They will actually do more for you than that. They invest. They are real. They will stand out in the pouring rain to cheer you in and highlight your strengths when you are doubting yourself.
They all clearly care and take pride in what they do.
If you want someone to spoon feed you the information and carry you across the line this school isn’t for you.
If you have the drive to learn, and desire to succeed, there is no better place. Sad to go but happy to graduate. Great experience to start my truck driving career.

So I have to say that I enjoyed my time at TransTech for the most part. It was challenging, as it should be, but TransTech has solid, qualified and professional staff and trainers. They genuinely care about your success. My only criticism would be that students need more time learning maneuvers. It’s only one week on the yard and then it’s on to the actual driving. However, that’s where the trainers shine. Autry, Frank, Kelly and Tye make SURE that they pour every bit of knowledge that they can into you that time and curriculum speed allows. If you decide to take this course, leave your ego at the door, put aside what you think you knowand listen to everything that they tell you. I think they even have a job placement now so it’ll be even better for future classes. Overall, I think it’ll be a great experience for anybody attempting to get their CDL license.
