Student Reviews

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Hello and I hope everyone reading this is having an amazing day! My name is James Dyer and I recently completed my CDL-A through RKTA. I have to say that in my years of training and attending institutions, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of training that I received here. The attentiveness,knowledge and the abilities of the instructors were amazing! You could ask questions and they would take whatever time was needed to ensure that you were comfortable with the task! The classes are small enough that every question can be answered, this was very important to me! I was driving and backing like a pro in 2 weeks. I can't really express how happy I am that I chose this particular school. Clarissa Rankin, Tanya and Eric are some amazing dedicated instructors. If you are looking to learn how to drive, whether its tractor trailers, dump trucks,buses,cars etc, this would be the place I recommend!

ROAD KNOWLEDGE TRAINING ACADEMY!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Dyer

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️THE BEST CDL A DRIVING SCHOOL...HANDS DOWN!! The owner and instructor Clarissa Rankin did the near impossible and that was teach this old dog (60 yrs old) new tricks!! With no prior knowledge or experience behind the wheel of a semi tractor I was able to ACE my test in all three phases my first try which included Pre trip, backing maneuvers and road test. I had the most amazing experience learning and having fun at the same time. With smaller class sizes you get so much one on one training and practice behind the wheel. I didn't want to leave! I loved this school and gained a love for trucking so much so that I'm looking to go buy my own truck and start running!! You will pass and you will love Clarissa and this school. Just be willing to work hard, listen, study and learn and you will be successful. In regards to the one star review, she was in my class and didn't listen and apply what was being taught. It was dangerous to be in the cab so unfortunately she would never have made it through.

Road Knowledge Traing academy is the best around, sign up and you will see!! Thanks Clarissa💯

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Unbelievable teaching and direction with becoming a new truck driver. Ms. Clarissa was a great instructor she helped out making everything relatable and understanding so you could grasp the concept of trucking. Also she is a ball of fun but understanding when you are halving a hard time. Ms. Tania was also a great help with getting me started with everything i needed for class. They both are very nice ladies and very genuine people. If you are looking for a school to do CDL training or any kind of driving this is the place to go. Im forever grateful for RKTA they definitely helped change my life as Ms. Clarissa would ask at the beginning of class everyday.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Road Knowledge Training Academy is life changing! It's so much more than what I expected. The staff are all very positive and you can tell they really take pride in helping people elevate themselves. Mrs. Clarissa Rankin is genuinely concerned about her students success, there was more than one occasion where I was struggling with certain maneuvers on the range, and she really stayed out there with me overtime until I got it. She has such big energy and really lets you know what to expect as a truck driver, not just how to drive trucks.

Tanya was also a really big help with directing me with everything that I needed to have before starting class and just always being so supportive. I'll forever be grateful for the experience!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Clarissa was truly the best instructors I could have ever asked for. Not only is she an incredible teacher, but she's also an even better person. I was extremely nervous about my pre-trip inspection, but she has a unique way of teaching that made everything easier to understand and helped build my confidence.

I'm beyond grateful for my experience at Road Knowledge Training Academy. Clarissa, Tania, and the entire team are amazing people who genuinely care about their students and want to see them succeed. I can honestly say this experience changed my life for the better. 10/10

I highly recommend them to anyone looking to start their journey.

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Amazing experience. Well staffed and the owner is passionate about trucking. The school will have you covered and knowledgeable in the business of moving freight. Everything from trip planning to OTR. You will also learn the pre trip in no time. If you are thinking about getting your CDL’s this is the place. Huge shout out to The Academy and Thanks to Clarissa because I am now equipped with my CDL.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I am so so so grateful for Road Knowledge Training Academy. I recommend this trucking school to any and everyone. Mrs. Rankin is the absolute truth.. Not only did she teach me what I needed to know to get my CDL A, but she was so informative on anything she could think of when it comes to Truckers Life. When I first got there it seriously sounded like she was speaking a foreign language to me when it came to trucking. I wasn't so sure I would make it to the end. However, she whipped me into shape in no time with so much patience and encouragement Her and Ms. Pozo both made me look forward to coming to school the next day just from their positive and genuine energy. I couldn't thank this school and staff enough for helping me start this new journey. Much love!
