 I enrolled with this school to be a professsional driver and paid them the whole fee of $3300 up front which happened to be the biggest mistake of my life since they do installments on payments. I paid and got my class schedule i went to the class to use the computer to have the basic knowledge and went for my written test which i passed and got my commercial learners permit. When it was time for the road test i receive my schedule every Sunday,my last schedule was on July 1 2017 and i was told to come to school on Monday and Friday only 2-4 Pm. The next schedule was supposed to come up on July 8 2017 i didn't receive a text i was hoping i will get a text on Wednesday July 12 2017 for Thursday and Friday since i told the owner brother that the Monday and Friday is unfair as in how do i come on Monday to operate a 3 axle 10 speed truck and then come again on Friday how can someone keep up?so i waited till Wednesday to see there will be a schedule i didn't get any text for my schedule.

so i text the man on Thursday and asked him why he didn't give me a schedule for July 8 2017? He then replied and said his brother who happened to be my instructor is on vacation so that's why i wasn't on a schedule for the week,his brother would tell me they took 8 students for a test and everybody failed it is because of the way they are operating .The man hired his brothers to be the instructors it is very hard to even understand them when they speak,I don't mean to disrespect his accent since i myself i am an African but i just can't understand their Mexican accent,how can one pass the exam when you miss a class for a week this is not just any class this is a truck driving class. I told the man to charge me for the class attended and pay me my balance he is telling me to look at the disclosure as if the disclosure advised that if his brother goes on a vacation that my class stops,I will report the whole world to please be very careful of this school except you wish to throw your money into the deep sea.

Scamming School

AUTHOR: Olanrewaju - (United States)

POSTED: Monday, May 07, 2018

 And despite i have your lies on a text message that my instructor went on vacation i saw your brother who happened to be my instructor the next day when i came with a police. You took complete advantage because i paid you all the fees upfront but had it been i paid installments for the training i will be ripped off but not the whole $3,300 upfront. Despite your business is failing as both of your brothers are thinking of doing something else the Government needs to shut it down,dare me to upload the video and let’s let your potential future students listen to the pretrip training and let them decide if that’s where they want to throw $3,300. You said why didn’t i ask for my refund? You are so good at lying and that’s why i will advice those who wants to listen not to waste their money and time at your scamming organization. When i text you for my return,your response was no refund that i should go and read the agreement and disclosure but where on the agreement did you have it that my instructor can go on vacation on me and i have to be taken off for a week because your brother who i saw on Thursday was supposed to be on vacation. Jose the worst thing than lying to the people is lying to yourself and deep down in your heart you know you ran a bad business on me. You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time but you can never fool all the people all the time and time is about to catch up with your bogus scamming organization.

If your brother wants to be honest with you he will tell you how many times he told me all the students he took for the CDL exams failed. I have a video of his pretrip inspection and i will upload it very soon to prove his accents was hard to understand as i wasn’t making fun of his accents i am an African myself but he couldn’t be understood and I have the video. Why didn’t you hire one American instructor since you have some American students? Why did you hire only your mom and your two brothers? Keep ripping people off it’s a matter of time when the long arms of law catches up with you.

Atlanta Truck Driving School Scamming school!!!

AUTHOR: Olanrewaju - (United States)

POSTED: Sunday, May 06, 2018

 No you need to say the truth, I ought to file a lawsuit against your waste of time rip off called Truck Driving School. I have a proof of one time payment of $3,300 I have our text conversation when i told you on Wednesday that "I have not seen my schedule for the week” and your best response was "my instructor went on a vacation” My instructor is your biological brother,you guys runs a family business and don’t care about what the law actually says. Keep running your mouth....with my proof of payment and your text indicating you took me off a road class for a week simply because your brother went on vacation might need to be heard in the court of law. You wouldn’t have seen it as something fair if your son had paid for a Trucking class and took of the road class for a week without notice,if I didn’t text you on a Wednesday i wondered when you would have told me.

Say the Truth Larry, just say the truth

AUTHOR: Jose - (United States)

POSTED: Sunday, May 06, 2018

Atlanta Truck Driving School is the only school in Georgia that offers: one-on-one driving training, flexible schedule (so that you don't have to quit your job) and we guarantee in writing 34 hours of ACTUAL training behind the wheel. No other school in Georgia offers anything remotely close to that. What Larry did not say in his complaint is that he had problems keeping up with the pace of the training from day one. For example a basic exercise such as straight line backing which normally takes only two hours of training to complete took him more than six hours. He fell further behind schedule as the training progressed. His 34 hour of training finished before he was able to complete the skills required for the road-test.

What does the instructor's accent have to do with his inability to learn to control the truck? The commands are extremely simple (left, right, straight, etc.). Also just because his instructor had to take a one week vacation (we are also human) that does not mean that he lost that time. He received all 34 hours of training and could not even complete half of the skills required. If Larry was so unsatisfied with the training why did not he ask for a refund as soon as possible? I am sorry but not everyone is cut out to be a professional driver. Just because Larry could not do it does not mean you cannot do it either. We have successfully trained thousands of people in the last 15 years.
