Wasn't even a customer of theirs and I called them with a truck related question. They were more than happy to help and did so cheerfully. A*

When I got my class 1 through an oilfield company it was: Go Go Go. I wasnt taught properly. What I needed was a professional to walk with me - side by side through everything like: - How a truck works - How a truck and driver work best together - What companies who want to hire me are looking for - What to consider when driving someone elses truck - Tips and tricks for getting out of binds - And most importantly how to get home safely to my family. Dan was that professional for me, and Im forever grateful for the time, focus, and energy he put into training me the right way! I would trust Dan and his team with my lifebecause I already did.

I'll say it right away, I couldn't recommend this place enough for anyone trying to get a truck license. For me, I had Dan as my instructor to get my 3A license and I have nothing but good things to say about him. He's personable, very knowledgeable, and will accomodate in every way he can to see it through with you until you pass the SGI test. During the training, he is extremely patient and maintains a good vibe, but also gives great constructive criticisms on how you can further tune your technique, the man is a natural-born teacher. Not only that, but his wife, Lori, also makes home cooked lunches for the students which I was not expecting at all but it really showed these people go above and beyond to not only to train but to make it a great experience altogether. Awesome place, awesome trainers, and my absolute go-to suggestion for anyone looking for training!

The options are starting to be endless for training schools, so glad I went with Overdrive. I had Kevin as my driving instructor for most of the time. Hes very calm and patient. Im not brand new to driving, but it was years ago I drove a tandem for my dad on the farm. So to learn how to drive a semi was interesting and took some work for me. I went from being in healthcare for 24 years to driving a semi. Im still learning lots on the job but itll come eventually. This is going to sound clich but if you want a school where youre not just a number they know you by name, this is where you want to be. Its such a laid back atmosphere you will get in the truck and start practicing your backing after a lesson. Dan (the owner) likes to talk and tell stories so the in class portion isnt as painful I mean dont get me wrong its still painful. I was successful in my final tests except my air. I had to go back and it was only silly little things that slipped my mind at the time of testing, that is so stressful at the end but its over quick. Thank you to Overdrive truck driver training school !!! Especially Kevin my driver instructor who I convinced to check out the Langham scale for educational purposes. Turns out they wanted to do a level 1 on our truck that day ! Bad idea hahaha so sorry My husband said that was a rookie mistake. The only constructive criticism I can give is I wish it was more organized as far as when to be there whos starting when and Dans paperwork.but that is probably what gives it a small company feel so maybe dont change that ! Dan stay the same looking for that paper on your desk and deciding the day of, whos starting when. Thank you again so much ! Im so excited to start my new career drivin that truck !
