⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the awesome manager, instructors and recruiter onsite: Ty, Aubrey, Willie, Kelly and Christine. I pay gratitude to the instructors for their selfless dedication to see that we the students achieved our set goals on becoming Truckers. ⭐️ for the facility, equipment and yard. Your crew is putting in the work, the students are coming by the numbers but Trans Tech you’ve got to support them better. Sunny days we eat dust, rainy days we are fighting with mud and pot holes. For security reasons, Murchison Road is no place to be after nightfall.

This rating would be 5/5 if the yard were properly taken care of by the owners/corporate. Multiple times, our training tractors were stuck in potholes- limiting the amount of time we actually were able to receive backing.
The only upside to this is the instructors here are awesome. They are really good at what they do, very communicative, open minded, super friendly and make you feel welcome. If it weren’t for the instructors and the site manager, this review would be much worse than it is.
Get these good ass instructors and good ass site manager, a better yard to train on. You guys bring in easily 40-50k a week, whether it’s a GI Bill, NCWorks, or individuals that are paying cash. There’s no reason the team should be neglected in the way that it is. Put the team on a much better yard.

My experience at TransTech has truly been AMAZING! The instructors were absolutely incredible, and I’m so grateful for every single person who played a part in my journey.
A BIG shoutout to Mr. Autry, Ms. Ty, Ms. Kelly, Mr. Willie, Mr. Kenny, and all the other instructors and staff who supported me along the way! 🙏🏽❤️
They didn’t just teach me how to drive a truck—they believed in me, encouraged me, challenged me, and pushed me to be great, even during the moments when I may not have believed in myself. They were patient, knowledgeable, supportive, and always willing to help me improve.
There were definitely moments when I felt frustrated or doubted myself, but having instructors who continued to motivate me and remind me that I could do it made such a difference. Their encouragement helped me keep going and not give up.
And now… I HAVE MY CDL!!! 🥳🎉🚛🙌🏽
I am so grateful, blessed, and proud of myself for taking this step. This has been such a life-changing experience, and I truly feel like I’m opening the door to a better future and a new career for myself.
If you’re thinking about getting your CDL, I HIGHLY recommend TransTech! Come ready to learn, work hard, stay focused, and be willing to listen to your instructors. They will give you the tools and knowledge—you just have to put in the work!
Thank you, TransTech, for being a part of this chapter of my life. ❤️ I’ll forever appreciate everyone who poured into me and helped me get to this point.
CDL: EARNED. 🎓🚛
New career: LOADING… 🔑✨
Next chapter: JUST BEGINNING! 🙏🏽❤️

An Amazing Experience at TransTech – Fayetteville, NC
My experience at TransTech in Fayetteville, North Carolina was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself and my future. From the moment I started, I could tell that the people there genuinely cared about helping their students succeed.
The instructors and staff were positive, patient, knowledgeable, and extremely well-trained. They knew how to make learning something completely new feel less intimidating. Even when things got difficult, they never made me feel like giving up was an option. They were always willing to explain things again, give us tips, demonstrate different techniques, and find different ways to help us understand.
What really stood out to me was how much time and effort they were willing to put into their students. No matter how much we struggled or how many times we needed help with something, they continued to work with us. They were even willing to work with students outside of normal hours when necessary. That showed me that this wasn’t just a job to them — they were genuinely passionate about helping people change their lives.
The atmosphere at TransTech was also fun, encouraging, and motivating. There were definitely stressful moments, especially when learning things like the pre-trip inspection, backing maneuvers, driving, and all the other skills required to start a new career. There were times when I was nervous, frustrated, sweating in the heat, and wondering if I was going to be able to get everything right. But the instructors were always there to encourage us and remind us to keep going.
They didn’t just teach us how to drive a truck. They helped us build confidence, discipline, patience, and determination. They understood that everyone learns differently, and they were willing to meet students where they were and help them improve from there.
I truly appreciate everyone at TransTech for the effort, encouragement, knowledge, and passion they put into their work. You can tell when someone is simply doing a job versus when someone actually cares about the people they’re teaching. At TransTech, I felt like the instructors genuinely wanted to see us succeed.
If you’re thinking about starting a career in trucking and you’re nervous about taking that first step, I would definitely recommend giving TransTech in Fayetteville a serious look. Be ready to work hard, be willing to learn, and don’t be afraid to struggle — because the people there will work with you, encourage you, and give you the tools and knowledge you need to keep moving forward.
Thank you to everyone at TransTech for everything you did for me and the other students. Your patience, positivity, professionalism, and dedication made a huge difference. I’m grateful for the experience and for the opportunity to take a step toward changing my life and starting a new career

I had an outstanding experience at TransTech CDL Training School from start to finish. The training was professional, hands-on, and focused on making sure students had the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to succeed.
A special thank you to my instructor, Autry, for his patience, knowledge, and dedication throughout my training. He took the time to explain things clearly, correct mistakes, and make sure I was prepared—not just to pass the CDL test, but to be a safe and confident professional driver.
I also want to give a huge shout-out to Site Lead Ty for running an excellent staff and creating a professional, organized, and supportive learning environment. You can tell the entire team genuinely wants their students to succeed.

The training at at TrabsTech is great especially for a 4 week program. Because of the instructions given I was able to pass my first time around. The instructors especially Kelly are willing to work with you if you need extra attention or don’t understand something. The only things I might change about trans tech is the condition of the yard and maybe adding driving simulators.

Mr. Autry and Miss Kelly were great instructors. I was a refresher and they still helped me tweak some things in my driving skills and also gave me great details on what to expect on OTR driving. TransTech Fayetteville was a great experience and I would highly recommend for anyone who’s trying to get their CDLs
