I highly recommend Skyway Trucking School! The staff here are wonderful and genuinely want the best for every student. The training and classes have been a great experience, and you can tell they really care about helping you succeed.
When I first started, I was scared and nervous about taking my permit tests and honestly wasn’t sure if I could do it. With the support, encouragement, and preparation I received here, I was able to pass my permit test! That was such a big accomplishment for me.
As a mother and a woman coming into the trucking industry, I was somewhat nervous because I didn’t know what to expect or how I would fit in. But from the beginning, everyone at Skyway has made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and at home. They encourage you, answer your questions, and truly want to see you succeed.
I’m grateful I chose Skyway Trucking School and excited to continue this journey toward earning my Class A CDL. If you’re nervous about getting started, especially as a woman entering the trucking industry, I definitely recommend giving Skyway a chance. ❤️🚛

Keep up the amazing work! 🚛
