Hi my name is Hesham Abdelrahman, I just recently graduated from this school and got my CDL license, the class was easy and fun because of the care of the instructors. Special thanks to Mr. Keith for working with me on my maneuvers for the exam and helping pass this exam, as well as Mr. Anthony. Also special thanks to Mr. Don the examiner for being very patient, respectful and supportive. All in all, the entire staff was very helpful.

Yeah I. T.

The worst school ever!!! The last two comments before this one are my classmates and everything they say is true and valid. Do not waste your time or Money. There is 1000 other ways to get into the trucking game whether you have the money or not.

Please Don’t Go To This School. It is a scam, the program cost $7,000, and is not worth that money at all. If you’re going to pay that much go to a different company, road master, 160, anyone else. This school cost $7,000 for 5 weeks. 10 hour a day classes 7am - 6pm, Monday-Thursday. You can easily be there 6-8 weeks because they are highly understaffed. Their trucks suck, they break down constantly. So if you’re a class of 14 and then another class comes in. You are going to end up being on top of each other, and not getting the proper training or experience you need. There’s 3 separate maneuvers and only 3 to 4 trucks for that. If there’s 14 of you and more people come. You’re only going to get to do each maneuver maybe 2 times a day. Point is they don’t have the equipment or instructors and teachers to give you the experience you expect when spending $7,000 this school is not worth it. Also the owner Mr. Crockett does not care about any of the students or even his faculty. Not just the students but a lot of the staff are leaving because they school is not good or professional. He doesn’t even provide them benefits, what job doesn’t provide some type of benefits. He puts the minimum amount required by the state of Ohio to run the school. That means the minimum equipment, minimum staffing, small yard. Only thing good about the school is the instructors themselves, but they won’t be there long. There are plenty of schools out here below $7,000 where you can get what you need, without any drama, or feelings of not getting your money worth, or simply not passing because you didn’t get the proper training.

Really an all around great school. Sometimes they seem a little disorganized, but at the end of the day it all comes together. Really it is all about the effort that YOU want to put in. If you do not put forth the effort you are probably not going to succeed. The instructors at this school are very skilled and knowledgeable about what they are teaching. They switch positions frequently so that you will get different forms of teaching/learning. Sometimes equipment breaks down but that is just the industry. Not everything is going to go as well as planned. My class was small and we worked together to make sure we all succeeded. Every instructor also cheered us on and reveled in our success as well. I recommend this school to anyone looking to get their CDL--you will not regret it.

A few great instructors. Other than that the staff sucks they don’t care about actually helping you achieve your goal they just want to get as many people through as fast as possible

Enrolling in Capital for my CDL training through Road2works program was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and patient, providing hands-on training that prepared me thoroughly for the road. The school’s curriculum was comprehensive, covering every aspect of trucking, from driving techniques to safety protocols. The facilities were decent, equipped with manual and automatic vehicles that enhanced the learning experience. Thanks to their excellent guidance and support, I passed my CDL exam. I highly recommend Capital to anyone looking for a reputable, professional, and effective trucking school.

Special thanks to Henry, Charles, Tom, Ron and Anthony. They were patient and exceptionally helpful. Anthony provided tremendous support, helping me overcome self-doubt and boosting my confidence. Additionally, Ron not only assisted me in mastering parallel parking but also guided me on correcting any initial setup errors.
