I just finished my online HazMat course and passed my MVD test the first time! The course was easy to follow and had lots of useful info. The practice tests really helped me prepare for the real thing. Super happy I signed up for this—it really taught me a lot about handling dangerous stuff safely!

I was a little worried about the Google voice number but this place is very professional and helped us with all of our needs to get the ELDT training. They are also affordable while other places are charging way too much for the courses. John Wheeler CDL School was one of the few affordable options for our budget. We completed the ELDT training and now are on our way to complete the rest of our endorsements. If you have your CDL already and need your other endorsements like Hazmat I recommend this place.

My husband needed help with ELDT training for his hazmat endorsement and this school was very quick and accommodating when it came to getting him set up online and submitting the results to the clearinghouse after my husband passed the ELDT portion. He officially got his hazmat endorsement 72 hours after finishing the ELDT hazmat course. I recommend this school for any trucker that needs to do any portion or all of the ELDT. They are affordable and they care about the truckers they do business with.

The experience is actually great so far. As a personal conclusion, they’re focusing a lot on having Drivers walking out of school with a CDL license, and enough knowledge, not just on having “CDL/Steering wheel Holders walking out of school and not knowing what to expect nor how to approach a certain or specific situation. Lots to learn from it, as the opportunity is right in front of you. Depends what kind of goal it is that you’re having or being interested in. I really recommend you to be confident about yourself, also..there’s nothing you can’t do, as long as you put enough energy into it to manifest what you’re thinking of. What are You waiting for ?
