Reviews of C1 Truck Driver Training

Krystal Newkirk

This school was awesome. So glad I went here. I quit my job in order to pursue truck driving and get out of the work place. This was by far the hardest thing I ever did. I knew nothing. I learned how to drive a manual. I learned so much from all the great instructors and even the director took time out to help us on the range. Even when I felt like it wasn’t for me or couldn’t grasp backing up, they kept pushing me, believing in me, and encouraging me. One instructor stayed over and helped me before I went to take my test the next day. My classmates were awesome as well. We worked together on pre-trip and encouraging one another. We all passed eventually and all have a CDL A license. I’m now on my own and use many of the skills and techniques I learned. I’m not a professional yet but I am confident that I will be. So glad I went to C1 Trucking School. They’re not going to hold your hand but if they see you trying and really want it, they will definitely be with you every step of the way. Thanks for everything!

Shout out to James for being such an awesome trainer! He was so easy to get along with and helped me to better apply the concepts of what was taught and made it fun. He truly cares about his students and ensuring success. This was evident to me more than ever on his efforts to getting me to test on time, despite the obstacles that were faced on test day. Chris was great in the classroom and helped make the learning environment fun and balanced. As for equipment we used for manual Class B…very disappointing. The truck was unreliable and left us on the side of the road on test day. Thankfully another truck was sent to complete the test. They are doing great to expand the class B automatic trucks…but the manual truck was rough! Overall, I’m thankful to the efforts in the end to help ensure I was able to complete the testing and for James and his follow up and follow through.

Christina Nieves

When I first started at C1 my experience wasn't so great. I had concerns about the classroom sizes, equipment and the amount of time I was being given each day. I voiced my concerns to the Jason the director as well as the instructors. By the end of my training all of my concerns had been addressed! They ended up with 4 new trucks, more instructors and the class sizes are now smaller. The instructors (James, Guy, Chad, Ed, Melanie and Derrick) were all GREAT! They made sure to stay after or come in early to make sure I was getting the practice I needed to feel comfortable. I couldn't have done it without these guys! I also gained a bunch of new friends going through this journey. It's an experience I will NEVER forget!

Latoya Wilson

Jason Reed! Jason the director he worked with me hands on and made sure I understood what was necessary needed to graduate. Derrick, Mike and Deon were the best instructors! They were so helpful and didn’t stop until I got things right.

Zachary Gault

I really enjoyed my instructors and experience at C1 trucking. The instructors will do everything in their power to ensure you will pass their course and the driving portion of the testing.

Olivia Wilson

MY Over all experience was good .. the instructors do a great job making sure you know your stuff ! Ps: Could we not post my picture though lol 🫶🏽

Tim Sherwood

Came through with DPW. Don't overthink it. For Class B drivers, there is a lot of sitting around and downtime due to only 2 trucks working and a shortage of trainers. We used this time to work on our pre-trips together. Derek is very Knowledgeable and James came in on a Sunday and helped us train also

Sam Malott

James was a great instructor throughout the second week. The first week is mostly watching videos some of which are class related most of them are just taking up time.

Tyler Mckinney

School was awesome. I was in and out in 4 weeks just like the said I would be. Kris was by far the best teacher out.

Zachary Gracey

I would recommend this school to anyone. From the start of the interview process, to the range, the street, to the actual state test, I passed and have the instructors and staff to thank! Thank you C1!

Eliazer Agustin

Very good program. Teachers and staff are great. You will learn everything you need to learn on this school!!!

Josiah Hunter

I came in under the class B program. The instructors were fantastic. Derrick was my instructor, and he was awesome. He worked with me a lot to ensure I would pass. All the employees were great to work with, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a CDL. Thanks Derrick!

Kylan Williams

Great school, instructors are amazing.. give Kris a raise he’s the best

Davante Howard

C1 was great to me I was frustrated and thought I was just being pushed through at the end it was my own anxiety they send you to state when they know your ready. Everyone there is Great Terri, Melanie, Guy, James, Dion and Jason. I appreciate all of the support and time

Laura Elliott

Obtaining my CDL was probably one of the most difficult thing I have done in a long time. However, I had encouraging instructors and peers to get me through it. James Yacconi, Chris Newlun, Guy and Ed were patient and were always available when I needed to work on something.

Jeremy Antior

This program is really beneficial to you instructors guide and help you throughout the entire process making sure you have all the training and skills to be able to get your cdls a really awesome program.

tyrone honeysucker

Great instructors and training but you got to be willing to put in the work

James Breitigan

Trained here 30 years ago,still driving.training wasn't easy for me,they were patient with me!

Jaden Bailey

Very much a quick learning kind of school! My only recommendation for people coming in to this school is to come with your permit before taking the classes! They do give you a week to get your permit, but it helps in the long run/allows you more time to learn the range/driving/pretrip parts of the school. Other then that, the staff was both professional, considerate, and very confident!

Devin Bryant

Great school and instructors are very helpful and great at coaching through the school.

Michael Owens

Have a willingness to learn and work hard and the rest will follow with the help of the instructors. Everyone was knowledgeable, helpful, and respectful. I would recommend C1’s trucking school to any of my friends or family that wanted to enter into the trucking industry. Great foundation for my new career I feel.

Steve Milom

My experience at C1 was all around a great experience. From my arrival at the hotel provided on Sunday, walking in at the same time as my roommate arrived to the very llast minute on graduation day. Most of the instructors I dealt with were very good. The 4 that really helped me to put it all together and were the keys to my success were Phil, Victor, Ken, and Shannon. They pushed me to be my best and do my best. I had a great group in class as well. We all worked together to learn and push each other towards our goal.

Anthony Miller

I had a great experience with C1. It was a while ago I walked through those doors but everyone was professional a m d I learned a lot. I left there and started with Swift Transportation and now I'm driving private fleet for Walmart. Nothing but good things ahead for the students coming through there if you listen, pay attention and put your knowledge to work for you. Hammer down! Thanks C1

Fred Yocum

I am the class '05, I started my career with U.S A. Truck. My instructors were amazing, and because of them, I was the first in my class to past the driver test with the state police, I remember it well, when I popped the air brakes and the office said let's go inside to see if you passed, he went in 5mins later had to come out to the truck to the driver's side door opens the door and said My Yocum are coming in, and I said yes I'm just kinda shocked, jumped out went up inside the trailer it looked like sat down, he walked back to the office got my results and came back and said how'd you think you did, I said like 70% average, he chuckled and said 90%, I was so excited, that when I seen the results, I cried real tears and laughing at the same time, I felt like I hit the lottery, now 2022 I make almost 6 figures yr, still being a company driver, and O.T.R driver

Mirella Multner

Derek was a great instructor! Not a worry in my mind when I went to take test!

Christopher Boggess

Good experience. Good vibes allow for good learning and focus

Kyler Harmless

Came from Aes, my instructor Tomorrow was fantastic. Passed my test after 2 weeks

Sean Schnepper

I personally had a great overall experience at C1 Truck Driver Training. Without a few of the staff members, my struggle would of lasted longer than it did. Huge thanks to Jason, Keith, Rob, Derek, Joe, Ed and Fred!

Chris Hansen

Great place to train for a CDL! All of the instructors were helpful and seemed to really care about student success. I felt completely prepared when I went to take my test. I would definitely recommend C1 to anyone looking for a truck driving school.

Steve Helmbock

I went here in 1999 to obtain my license via Decker transport now PAM. It is a fast pace of learning so you must be self motivated. If you think your going to hang out you'll fail. It's the true Start of a new career.They teach you what you need to know to get a license but the companies teach the rest. If you fulfill your obligations of the contract it doesn't cost anything and in 2 years you'll get a certificate of graduation. I've read alot of bad reviews and it's just not that way. Some people don't have the skillset to pass the test or don't apply themselves correctly. 22 years on the road and 2.7 million miles accident free. I'd call that a success all starting here at C1 Use the SMITH SYSTEM in every part of your life and you too will write a success story

Jesse Croley

The instructor Ed for class B was super helpful and great to get along with as well as all staff were available and nice

Rasiti Le be go

Great school and very professional. I just passed the CDL exam on the first try and I couldn’t be more happy. I want to give thanks and show my appreciation to instructors Bill and Deon for helping me throughout the whole process!!! Also big thanks to Tom Hruban who’s supported me in everything!!!

ZellDaKid Tv

Best school great teachers and staff 💪🏾 …

Robert Bowman

Very happy to see that the school I learned how to drive big trucks at, is doing well. 5 years since I attended and I'm an O/O running under Landstar Ranger today. C1 is the truth! Learn, Arrive on Time, Keep it between the lines and maybe you too will be out here with us,.....making all the money. Until then, I'll have my chin in the wind and my knees in the breeze, hammering down.

Chris Hagerty

Came through my employer Citizens Energy Group

Lynn Grant

I attended C-1 in March of 2012. I am a truck drivers wife so I thought I knew everything. I passed the written tests on the first try and missed 1 on the Pre-trip test. But to be honest I was horrible behind the wheel. I lost my temper when I missed a gear and slaughtered the range, I could not back. Four weeks past and I failed to completed the range, not even halfway, I had ZERO trailer control. The amazing instructors never discouraged me. They always said "YOU CAN DO THIS"! The 5th and final week came and if I couldn't complete the range I would have till Friday, then I would be sent home, a failure. But on Monday morning everything "clicked’' I performed a flawless Range, my instructor Tim was stunned. By Thursday I had passed all the driving tests and was a proud owner of a Class A CDL. The instructors never gave up on me and now in 2021 I am still driving - accident free. I will be forever grateful C-1 and the dedicated Instructors.

Lynn Hogue

So as a local guide and recent grad(12/2018), I wanted to come and give my honest review of C1 Indianapolis. Initially, because of the bad reviews I did not want to attend this school. I see now you can't always go off the opinion of others. C1 has a very "professional" commercial driver training program. They are well organized, the content is very structured, and they give you all the skills and training you need to pass your state test. You even get 5 whole attempts to test with continued range and drive training in between. The program is for 3 weeks but if you make good progress they allow a little longer. The equipment is not "brand new" but it's new enough. All the instructors are professionals and well versed in their craft. Shannon is an excellent manual drive instructor, Dave is good at automatic. As far as range goes Tim is the shi!. He teaches you the maneuvers step by step from the manual with no deviation, shows you how to spot where you should be with perfection, and all I heard when I tested was him saying "a little right...a little left...now straight...clorica you have to guide the trailer stop trying to force it.... listen you can do this". The best Range instructor hands down. He kept a group of students like he was selling something and all he was doing was giving great instruction to all who would listen assigned to him or not. I had Dion 1 day and he's good too. All I'm saying is: whether you have a WIOA voucher, coming through Swift or Pam, or paying your own way. Don't trust the bad reviews you get out of C1 what YOU put in, literally. They don't even have a clue I am a local guide. John could be nicer but hey you barely see him. I wanted a hat so bad I didn't even care what color.. Thanks C1 Black hat received;-)

Nathan Funk

I came through with my employer James h Drew

Itz_ Swishh

I attended here through Brown Brothers Transport. Everything went smoothly and it is a great program!

Adekola Ajamu

C1 is a good school and they have a lot of experienced instructors that will help you to attain your goal. I recommend this school for anyone who want Class A CDL

Christopher Fields

I graduated February 2017. I'm old school, went out helped my fellow drivers with pre-trip because that is number 1. All these whiners are just that whiners. I did my work. Watched videos online on my own time. Some of us got it, some of us dont. Not the schools fault if you cant get it, self reflection at that point may tell you , you just dont have it. They had me ready for the state test, I passed 1st try. Got my hat, got my chip and away I went. Be aware, they teach you to pass the test, your job to learn to drive after that. They gave me skills I use to this day and others I picked up on the road. I RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL, BE SAFE DRIVERS AND DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT

Alex Arthur

I was sent by AES. It was a great course.

Dakota Williams

paul horton

Here you have two chances to fail. After second pack your stuff. Started with over 150 students, down to 50 by end of the third week. Total concentration, total instruction, total skills. C1 has the best reputation among the schools. Trust and believe. VERY BEST. It's hard but fair, sometimes hard, always fair. Imjuzsayin

Shane Weaver

I came through with my company James H Drew

John Smith

Attended from August 24th to September 23rd, 2015 - never before driving a stick shift. Within 1 month's time, I was able to learn/master all knowledge required to obtain my CDL. It was difficult; much more so than I had originally thought. And I am thankful that there was a school to teach me the required materials, driving skill, to get my CDL. Depending on your carrier, they put you up in a hotel (ours was Extended Stay America), and it was pretty good. The cost of the program was around $6000, and it's free assuming you graduate and work for your hiring carrier for 1 year. You get $50 on your 2nd & 3rd week, and $100 when you graduate (That money comes from your carrier though, and some carriers WILL NOT pay you anything - just happens mine did pay me that little bit which did help a lot.) The hotel gives you complimentary breakfast everyday. Nothing fancy, just a muffin and a fiber bar - free coffee; although its pretty awful. But all other food costs are your own, which is a bit of a downer. The hotel is not near the school. It's a 15-20 minute drive everyday, so you must also bare gas costs as well. But fortunately, there are usually students willing to car-pool. What they don't tell you is that after you spend this month, sometimes longer, getting your CDL - you have to go off to do another month of training for your carrier. But at least you get paid for that. My carrier pays $25 a day for the first week, and I think (but not certain) - $300 a week after that for the remaining 3 weeks where you'll be gone over the road with a trainer the entire time. Overall, I would say it was time/money well spent - personally averaging around $70 a week personal costs (I'm a smoker). But for that $200+ I spent, I learned an invaluable skill that I will probably use for the rest of my life making around $40,000+ a year. The instructors were very friendly and informative - although the lead instructor, Walter - is... not sure how to put it. He wants people to do well, but let's just say he's not the most social person on the planet. He comes off a bit mean and if you don't know how to read the guy he can be very off-putting. But again, he just wants his students to do well. Everyone else though, super friendly and informative - very open to being followed around and answering questions. The bottom line is, you will get what you put in out of this school. The harder you try, the faster/more you will learn. And it's something you will use for the rest of your life.

Patrick Hughes

Everybody has their own way of perceiving things. Instructors were excellent and gave me what I needed to succeed. You gotta be willing to learn to be taught.

Payton Haworth

The school has several talented instructors and are more than willing to help you through your range and street driving. I'm going to be specific in naming Gary, Bill, Alan and John

William Wallace

Came through with my employer James H Drew

Benjamin Weist

Great program and instructors. They got me the skills needed to pass my CDL test!!

Hood Tycoon

I passed my state test yesterday. C1 is more than qualified to help students that are “focused” to reach the goal of obtaining a class A cdl. Students have the opportunity to engage with Walter and most of the instructors with any problems they feel are getting in the way. Brad’s class room instruction is on the money. As far as the range and road instruction goes, Eric Thurman, Professor Kenn, Ed “The Bulldog”, Dion, Will and Victor have the passion and want to see all the students cross the line and win the race. Students must take it upon themselves to study hard to achieve their cdl and get outta their feelings. Everybody is an adult. Proper Preparation prevents poor performance. I’ve already sent 3 current students to C1 and I plan on recommending C1 to more. Thanks C1 Staff !

Graduated C1 November 2008. Have been trucking ever since and have no regrets. If you have a can do attitude and good work ethic C1 can get you started toward a very stable future. Just know this, trucking is not for everyone. If you are going to take on this challenging yet rewarding career please enter our industry with a professional minded attitude because that is the difference between a driver and a professional driver.

First things first. Drop you ego at the door and go into this place wanting to learn. You have to realize these guys and gals have years of experience and know what they are doing. These guys go out of their way to help you learn and if you Listen to what they have to say and STUDY you WILL pass. I seen a couple of people that couldn't drive worth a shi# and they spent extra time helping them learn the proper techniques. A word of advice. Go ahead and take all the required test at your local BMV so once you pass your physical all you have to do is go get your learners permit. That will save you two or three days. Those two or three days can be used to study your pre trip and 4 Point break test. If I had to do it all over again I would.
