Check Ride Driver Training Services Reviews

As a former student for CDL class A, this school was amazing with great instructors, office personnel and a caring owner. They were always on hand ready to help, train and be supportive to be successful in reaching my goals. Number one priority was safety not only for me as a student, but also for the public out on the road. The classroom was fun, but know your going to get out what you put in, so don't be lazy and not do your classroom work, practice driving and homework. I cannot express how important it is to study and restudy your pre-trip inspection. I would highly recommend attending the school to help you for your career future.

Excellent course with knowledgeable instructors! If you want to earn your CDL this is the place! Every member of my class passed including one fella that struggled. They got him where he needed to be.

I recieved received excellent instruction support and advice from the instructors, they can't do it for you but will give you the opportunity to get it done

This is hands down the best CDL school out there. Just got my Class A today. Many thanks and much appreciation to the amazing instructors. Bob and Jeff, you are awesome! Tammy, you helped me so much as well. I don't know where I would be without all of you guys. If you want to get your CDL, Check Ride is the way to go. Don't forget to study that pre-trip!

I came from the aerospace industry in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic to start a new career in commercial driving. After investigating multiple schools in my area I chose to enroll with Check Ride because they were professional, thorough and helped with job location in the areas I needed to fit my lifestyle. As long as you put the time in, be proactive in your learning and take the training seriously, this is the school for you. I would highly recommend this place of learning over all others in the PNW. Thanks Check Ride for helping me with this new career path! You ALL are great!

It's great school to get your CDL license and you will learn a lot about driving trucks. I highly recommend it go for this school.

I just completed the course at this school, and what a great experience!! The instructors are knowledgeable, professional, and really committed to helping each student succeed in obtaining their C.D.L. As a lady trying to obtain a C.D.L for class A, I was a bit anxious how it would pan out. Not once did I feel patronized, or pacified. The school from top to bottom was never less than professional, and helpful . They really go WAY above and beyond to help EACH student succeed! I cant say enough good about my experience, and encouragement if you are looking to obtain any class of C.D.L, this school is the TOP of Class!!

I had never driven a Big Rig before going to this school. I researched what school was best for me and found them. They weren t the closest school to me. I can t say enough GREAT things about this school. It starts with the front office. I had no idea other than I want to drive trucks. The front office took time to talk with me and find the right course for me (class A). The instructors are very experienced with actually driving trucks and take the individual time to train each student and lord knows I needed it. The thing I really liked about this school was how much time I was given to actually drive and practice in the yard . I passed my State Test on my 1st try and that was a direct reflection of the training I was given at Check Ride. If you study what they say to study and don t goof around you ll be fine.

I also came to this school without a job. Within week 3 I had job interviews lined up (thanks to the front office) with good paying jobs focused on my needs I had talked with them about. They never pushed me in one direction or to one specific job. They helped me understand what jobs I was looking at and I appreciate that. I started working the day after I got my CDL.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS School!!!
They actually care about You as a person and a student.

Mike a proud former student

I highly recommend Checkride for CDL training. Jeff, the owner, has several decades of teaching students and is a great instructor both on the road and in the yard. The other instructors (Bob C, James, and Aaron) are top notch in their training techniques and will have you comfortable in cab rolling down the road in no time. Big shout out to Tammie in the front office who keeps everything running smoothly. And last but certainly not least, Handsome the Wonder Cat, the true boss of it all.

Today I completed my road test with the DOL and the examiner was very pleased with my high scores on the three phases on my road test. These high scores are directly related to the training I received at this outstanding school. It is simple, do exactly as they instruct, do not try and rewrite the book. The students that had trouble where the ones who didn't want to listen and learn. This school was worth every dollar I spent and is run by a group of really good people.

I still remember Check Ride from my time there in June 93. Twelve more years and I'm retiring but will never forget my experience at this school.Loved it!

If you want to get good training hands down Taylor Trucking up in north is better! Point one train on what your going to drive on the job! Point two Taylor Trucking is cheaper by over $1000. Point three if you'er having challenges on any part of the 3 phases of the test, Taylor Trucking will get you in a truck and driving! Woodinville Check Ride will say "You can show up but won't be guarantee drive time!

I was out of work and didn't have money or time to waste at Woodinville Check Ride any more! I am a local kid from Woodinville and a USMC Vet! I always try to stay local but this outfit just isn't worth the local stamp of approval!

Taylor Trucking School has weekend and week day options! Its over 1000 cheaper! Tons of instructors (Alot of Vets), tons of trucks, Also off site practice dock. For those shy drivers with testing issues!!

But hey if you want to spend more money! Limited instructors (the few they have are good!) Limited drive time then go for Check Ride!

I just completed Check Ride's Class B CDL course in order to operate our new septic truck and the process was seamless. The level of service and support I received was exceptional.

Tammy in the front office was extremely helpful and provided a ton of resources to help me navigate the various items I needed in order to enroll and complete the course.

The instructors Bob and Jack were very thorough, professional, patient and provided a ton support and guidance. The course added so much value and I will certainly recommend Jeff (Owner) and his team to anyone seeking to get their CDL

Very knowledgeable staff. Yes I did pass my driving and pre-trip on the first try.

Don't work or go here. I just spoke with the manager and they only pay $18 an hour. Any school bus driver or class A holder is worth at least $23-25 an hour now days. I'm even a driving school teacher and they still just said $18 that's basically them saying we don't respect your skills or abilities.

I went through Check-Ride a few months ago and had a great experience. The instructors were very knowledgeable and professional and taught me everything I needed to know to pass the CDL class A tests. I was working a week after I passed thanks to TammieO who was very helpful throughout the whole process. I would recommend Check-Ride to anyone seeking to obtain their CDL.

My employer sent me to this school and upon completion of the class, myself and my classmates that tested in the automatic volvo passed with flying colors. Plenty of time behind the wheel is provided in this course, whether it's in the yard of the school, or on the road with an instructor. I worked with multiple instructors and in trucks pulling varying lengths of trailers. The instructors are knowledgeable and hardworking, with a wealth of information to give. The school schedules the test for you and provides the truck for you to test in, which is a load of pressure off of your shoulders. I am glad I took this course, and was able to obtain my class A CDL.
