TransTech has some great people on their team. Everyone I met was positive, supportive, and clearly invested in student success. That said, there’s definitely room to improve or implement certain policies and procedures to ensure better alignment between trainers and trainees. Still, the class itself was informative and worthwhile.

For future students:
Be sure to have all your curriculum materials, permit, and DOT physical completed before training begins. If you’re missing any of these, it can set you back and make the process more difficult.

Not many places can get you CDL-certified in just four weeks like TransTech did for me. Overall, I’m satisfied with the training experience.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! We're glad you found the team supportive and the training informative. We appreciate your suggestions and will continue working to improve for a smoother experience. Congrats on getting your CDL, and best of luck on your journey ahead!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the review!

I successfully completed my CDL B training last week in Newton, NC and my views are specific to this location.

Staff/Instructor - 5 stars
Instructor Steven is the best! He knows his stuff and is able to communicate effectively. Loved having him as a teacher!!
Sue in the Admin Ofc was helpful and it was most appreciated.

Facilities/Equipment - 2.5 stars
OMG - the classroom trailer has 2 restrooms and are NOT cleaned daily! When someone "blew up" one of the toilets (you know what I mean), it wasn't cleaned for 2 days. Nasty!

I trained on the school bus for P endorsement - minimal heat on the rig (temps were in the teens), tach and speedo broken, and unable to practice or test merging onto I-40 due to it's severely limited speed capability. (basically unsafe to do so)

Two other students in CDL B class not getting P endorsement trained on a single axle bobtail, NOT the box truck they were promised. Bobtail rig had great heat, but the rear tires weren't anywhere close to being at least 2/32" tread depth and we were glad not to be observing/driving in rainy conditions. Interior of truck was littered with trash. (Let's just say cleanliness is not a priority in the building or the rigs as far as I can tell.)

Listen, I know, it's a truck school, it's not supposed to be pristine, but really?! Basic bathroom cleaning daily in the building would be nice, and perhaps weekly clean out of rigs??
Response from the owner:Hi CS - we're sorry that our experience wasn't 5 stars for you! We'll take note of the cleanliness/facilities comments and follow up with the site manager.
I just received my CDL from Trans Tech Newton NC. My instructor Steven Conley was awesome! He is very patient and knowledgeable. The rest of the employees I came into contact with were also very friendly. The only bad thing I can say about this place as that the Trucks and Bus that they used to train us on could really use some Love ( Driver seats broken no heat tires bald, Speedometer broken ). The reason I bring this up is once we leave the yard with that truck or bus if you get pulled over for any reason the ticket is on you and your DAC report. Also I wish they taught us to How to actually check some of the things that we are learning about during the pre trip
Response from the owner:Thank you for the feedback, Sara. We are working on this and appreciate your recommendations!
This place is great!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Alicia! We appreciate the review!
