Some of the staff are great and the school has a high CDL test pass rate. However, the instructors with the most authority and influence over trainees have a serious lack of discipline, professionalism and structure. This is not a school, it is a training program and thats a bad thing in this case. You are not being encouraged to learn and excel, or being taught how to be a professional driver, you are being trained to pass the CDL test and will be reprimanded if you want to flourish in your learning of the subject. You will be expected to participate in their idea of trucker culture which includes active perpetuation and encouragement of vulgar language and behavior. You will not be allowed to learn your own way, even if you are getting it all right. You cannot negotiate with them to focus on what you need, you must do their program their way on their schedule, even though they could easily flexibly accommodate individual needs. I walked in with a positive attitude, patience, commitment to learning, and a reasonable amount of tolerance and reasonable expectations, but this was a dead-end because the staff were by and large wrong and backwards.

I got my CDL through Pacific NW Professional Driving School in Tacoma. I got the Best training from their staff, Manager Henry as well as all of the instructors Steve, Dale, Vlad and Matt. I also passed my skills test on the first time!!! The office staff was also awesome Mariana and Kitty thanks for all of your help also. I highly recommend this School to anyone who is interested in getting their CDL!!!

Attended school not enough drive time or instructors to adequately teach material. First week wasted on power points instead of using it to learn in cab and out cab material. The school manager is hostile and does his best to bully you through class, for hes preparing for next months class with no regard to the invested student already present. There are great instructors there yet management is questionable.Would go on my 20 minute drive time twice a week, rest backing practice and in out cab with no direction.I addressed these issues to school management and expressed my wish to withdraw. I was then offered more drive time to say and finish. I had enough of the cajoling of the manager so I was sent this because I would not conform.Per our conversation today 12/18/2020, you decided to withdraw from the program.Your time sheets show that you have completed 80.25h and based on the Contract you are not qualifying for a Refund.Class is supposed to be 160hrs and I didnt qualify for a refund.Every day they have you sign in for 8 hrs even if you are not there for whole time I wonder how much i was charged for when I was not there.

I would like to let everyone know how professional Pacific Northwest Professional Driving School is I came to the school to get my CDL and they were nothing but courteous professional and provided a safe training environment for me I thank them so much if you are interested in getting your CDL I highly recommend this school Pacific Northwest Professional Driving School have a fantastic day

After Ramin enjoy the company we learned from scratch to professional drivers thank you for allMost structures also friendly and like family

A huge shout out Pacific NW Professional Driving. This place is so amazing, Christine, Mariana, Henry, Casandra, Dwayne, Omar, Steve, Vlad,, and Angel thank you so much!!! All the instructors are super nice and accommodating. They work with you in any way they can to help you reach your goal. They have patience and multiple teaching techniques that will guarantee a good learning experience. This place is so good that I got hired a week prior to me passing my state test. Their success rate is off the chart and their online classes are extremely user-friendly. Before you even think about checking any other school out check these guys out 1st, I highly recommend it. Ive never driven a manual in my entire life and in four weeks they got me driving like a professional. Out of five stars I give these guys 15. Truly Blessed 🙌 thank you again for giving me the opportunity to open up new doors I need a new career to support my family 👪 ❤

Staff is super friendly and the instructors are very helpful and knowledgeable. The cost wasnt bad it was a little under 5k but that dosnt included the fees at the dmv and for your test.The only issues i really have with this school was that there was no curriculum they just handed us a packet and said memorize it. Secondly after I graduated I tryed finding jobs on my own and hit a dead end so used the number and emails I had to get in contact with the schools counselor is what I assume his job title was he told us to come to him with help finding jobs well I never was contacted after I called and left a voicemail and text along with a email that I sent to the office I was able to find a local job no thanks to the school even though they market themselves on having a job placement assistance. Overall I loved the experience while there fun people but they just needed to make things a little smoother in the teaching process and actually do what they advertise for job assistance.

Definitely the way to go if you’re looking to get your CDL. I went as a part time student. The staff was great about being flexible with me, and my work schedule. The curriculum is engineered towards giving you more than just a passing DOL test, and I’ve already benefited from the knowledge. 5/5!

I would highly recommend this school. All aspects were great from the ladies in the office to the instructors and Henry. They gave me all the tools to succeed.

I am so glad I chose this school to get my CDL. I appreciate that each instructor was very knowledgeable, and took the time to help you one on one with things you may be struggling with. Theyll make sure you are totally ready for the test before you take it. All the staff was very supportive during my time there. I did not take advantage of their job placement program, but I saw it work out well for other students.

Staff is very helpful and they allowed me to have my service dog with me.

Great school got a class A license and a job three weeks later

In school now last week of school. Kinda concerned only have had less than a hour city driving and backing time your lucky to get one shot at all 3 backing tests . Meanwhile you are supposed to fill out time sheet that states 2 hours of backing????

Great School and great staff. There instructors are on top of helping you and making sure you fully understand everything you need to become a successful truck driver.

This is a Great CDL training School for anyone who wants to be a professional truck driver. I highly recommend this school!!!John K

Also passed my CDL first time. It seems hard at first, as long as you want this. Just listen and learn. It was fun.

The best CDL School in Washington!! They provide awesome customer services and 10+ training!! Check it out!! Exited for my new Career and oportunities!

This school is top notch. All the instructors are so knowledgeable, and make time for 1 on 1 teaching. I even left there with a high paying job that there counselor Angel help me get after hours on the weekend. Thank you Pacific NW professional driving for changing my life.

Great School!! After receiving my CDL from PNW Driving School it opened up so many doors for me!! Best Investment Ive made.

Good knowledgeable and friendly staff.Its a guarantee success with this school.The instructors especially Dwayne Sullivan dont give up until they are sure you get every detail about the truck.Ask for Dwayne Sullivan he will assist you in pre trip.

Excellent staff and very helpful. Thank you Dwayne, Steve, Henry, and Matt for ensuring I received the proper training. Im especially thankful to Angel for fulfilling his promise of finding my wife and I work afterwards. Thank you to the office staff as well. Although the course can be tough, I think this school truly cares about our success. Thank you, Josh Reichert...

Do you guys know if this guys do hazmat training courseI’m trying to get hazmat training

Cunning. Took up my money, I did about 3 days of less than 20 miles of driving...then my priorities changed and I had to drop out. They could not refund...I pressed them and all they could do is return a mere $200. If you want honesty...go to CDS Lakewood, not PNW CDL.

This school is absolutely one of the best to go to in my opinion, they work with you and teach you in the way you want to learn, they dont hover if you dont want them too, the staff is extremely friendly and they go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Angel Suarez is the student counselor and he goes above and beyond to make sure any student is ready to test, he took time out of his weekend to meet up with me to work on my upshifting, downshifting and driving with no issue early in the morning at no extra charge, he wanted to see me pass. He also goes out of his way to help you find a job after you afterwords not only when you pass but when you graduate and get a job if that job doesnt pan out you can give him a call and he will give you all the info you need to find something else.Dwayne Sullivan is one of the best instructors there extremely friendly he will also go above and beyond to help you out to make sure you pass, any questions you have any issues with learning he will go out of his way to help you, he knows exactly what the examiners are looking for come testing day, and if he says youre ready to test then you are definitely ready. Everyone there wants to see you succeed, they know your spending money to go to their school and they want to help you anyway they can.Thank you pnwcdl school you have changed my life for the better.

Everyone at this school is very knowledgable and helpful, I couldnt have gotten my CDL without them. Dwane was very helpful and smart. These guys are really good and i highly recommend this school.

I studied at this school as a truck driver; this school greeted me with a good friendly team and spoke many languages in English, Russian, Spanish, Moldavian, Ukrainian, Indian and many others you can be trained both on an automatic gearbox and on a mechanical one. I chose a mechanical, the price of tuition was excellent for me now I work as a driver and I don’t regret that I went to this school and referred my friends. I would recommend this school to anyone learning to be a driver.

How much going to cost me to get a truck driving license? How many weeks, and how many hours? Do you offer payment plan?!It’s seems amazing school and stuff.

5 stars aint high enough.These guys are awesome. Theyre kind, understanding & they are very flexible with how often or how long you can attend school each day. I work nights & they allowed me to learn when I could. They worked with my schedule. They also really invest into their students. They genuinely want everyone to learn correctly & pass. Very patient & professional. All seem constantly possitive. Not only that, now that I have my CDL I can still come in & continue to learn or get more driving experience at no extra cost. They also speak multiple languages if thats important to you.

Passed my class A test on my first try after completing the 4 week course. The instructors are very knowledgeable and patient with you while your learning to drive. They give you all the time you need to practice your backing and pre trip inspections. I felt more than prepared for my test by the time I took it.

The school was excellent very helpful staff instructors were super knowledgeable and very easy to work with I would refer anyone to go to this excellent School. Also they were very good at helping me find a job...

This is the best place I know,all the staffs are so kind, PROFESSIONAL, friendly and they work around the clock to see you succeed. Its a place Id recommend, every one to go.

Great school with great instructors

Great instructors! Very knowledgeable! Thanks Henry for giving me all the information to get me started. Passed my test on the first try! Thanks everybody!

It is great school with a honorable and knowledgeable recruiter Mr. Angeles.

Best trucking school! The staff are kind and very nice. They are flexible with your schedule, which is really nice. I got my CDL in 4 weeks. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking to get their CDL.

First I want to say thank you to PACIFIC NW PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL; for one of life changing experiences. To Doina in the Kent location, Thank you for being a friend, positive motivation for me, you keep me grounded and pushing forwards my goal. Omar- Instructor, words escape much gratitude and appreciation I have for you the time you took out with me; both in a group and one-one, to help me over come my fear of downshifting and handling that truck. You have the patiences of a saint. I will never forget our first bobtailing experience, how calm you stayed and how panic I was. LOL. If Omar cant teach you to drive a manual than you may just stick to automatic, his amazing and patience man. Thank you Omar. Now for the rest of the staff in the Kent WA location, thank you so much for being so caring and motivating. Although I only pointed two of your staff who has truly impacted my life each one of you gave me a different experiences I will keep with me forever. We family now.Thank you for the amazing experience. Officially CDL A manual holder.Teresa Jimenez ❤💛❤💛❤💛❤

They worked with me and supplied great service, very easy going, the office staff very professional and helpful... definitely recommend the night school!

Great instructors and the ladies workin in the office are very nice friendly and helpful if you are looking to get your CDL I highly recommend signing up here

I had very good experience with this school . They train very well and they guide very friendly in your problems . I m very happy i take my CDL license and make many good friends in school.

I got my CDL fom this school and they help me find a job that I really like. I make really good money. They are very knowledgeable and I have referred friends. I can tell you that I make almost 75000 a year thanks to this school. Working for a company.

My husband Ian went to this school and loved it. Great instructors and plenty of individual time for students. We would recommend this school to anyone looking to get their CDL.

I have just completed my CDL training at PNW Professional Driving. As with everything, you will get out of it what you put into it. Many students come in late, take long lunches, and/or leave early. Study hard, come for all of the hours available, and you will pass. That said, driving a combination vehicle is not for everybody. This school gives you all the tools you need to succeed. Use those tools and you will do great. Thank you, to all the employees at PNW. Maybe I’ll see you again some day on the road.

Great instructors!!!! Love for all th help. Financial payment plan really help me.

I just passed my test today on a 6 speed. The school was a good choice for me. The best instructors are Charles, Eli, Armen and Vlad. I’ve never driven a manual and they gave me the courage to do it. Go to school early put your name on the list to do backing and the city drive. Study the pre trip everyday all day. And the most important thing is to LISTEN to the instructor and pay attention. Don’t try to be a professional truck driver that’s been driving for 20 years while your in school. They will work with you and help you until you pass.

Great school instructors are very knowledgeable and ladies in the office are very helpful. I would recommend this school if your looking to get your cdl.

This the Best CDL School in Washington!!!!If you want to get your CDL go here.Thank you so much Henry, and everyone who helped me at the School!!!

Thank you so much team Pacific, school it was realy good to been with you.I can’t explain how much you showed me that you were my side from day one I started the school to the last day until I got my CDL, I really appreciate it that good things you guys to helped me.

Very good school, very good teachers and staff. Material for study is very affordable. I came to school, I was met, provided with a machine for the duration of my studies, provided housing, all conditions.Particular attention to those who have an English second language. I advise everyone to study at Pacific NW Professional Driving School

At this school they give all the necessary knowledge and prepare for everything. And most importantly they speak Russian and not only.
