Katlaw Truck Driving Schools

“Overall, I had a good, positive experience. All staff and instructors were cordial and helpful. The training was intense but I passed my test with high scores. My instructors, William and Ernest were completely professional at all times, very knowledgeable about truck driving and instilled confidence in my abilities to succeed in the classroom, yard and on my test.”

“Katlaw runs a very professional, ethical and thorough training program. Everyone there works toward your goal to obtain your CDL by providing all of the tools and knowledge needed. All one needs to do is apply themselves. The facilities, offices and classrooms are excellent at the Threadmill building. The staff is very professional and knowledgeable and the office manager is spectacular! I would recommend Katlaw Driving School anytime.”

“My driver instructor was Wesley Kilgore. His teaching skills from 1 to 100 is a 100 plus. Hands down I think he is the best instructor at Katlaw. I was glad I had him as my instructor. I am glad I picked Katlaw as my school because they are well known and respected in the industry.”

“Thank you Katlaw for everything you have done for me. I went in not knowing anything about driving a truck and came out with my license. I’m thoroughly happy I chose your school to train me. The driving experience of my instructors (Dan Odum and William Johnson) and the helpfulness of my counselor (Dave Belmont) was top notch. They are the reason for my success and for me receiving job offers by the time I graduated. My hat goes off to the Katlaw team and a special thanks for helping me fulfill my dream of a new career.”

“If you’re serious about getting into this industry, Katlaw is a great place to learn. Everyone here tried their best to get you where you want to be. The classroom time was very informative while being fun. The on the road training was very well done and the trainers do everything to make sure you understand the truck and learn to drive it safely. This school is not for everyone, but it’s a great fit for those who want this career.”

“Thank you Katlaw! The entire staff at Katlaw was very knowledgeable in every aspect of the trucking industry. Most importantly they were able to communicate that knowledge to us, the students using very effective teaching techniques. I would like to thank the staff and instructors for preparing me to get my commercial drivers license. A special thanks to William and Mike for their diligence and patience!

“At 55 years old, I was trying to find a career that would not be as physical as the construction industry. After 1 ½ years of being either under or over qualified for several positions that I applied for, I was about to stop looking. On a Monday I was reading the Sunday paper job section and saw an ad for Katlaw Driving School. I called and talked to Jennifer, a career advisor, came to visit the school on that Wednesday and started driving school the following Monday. On October 31st, I started school and on November 18th I graduated with a diploma, CDL Class A license and a job offer from Werner Enterprises. I spent a year and a half looking for a job that took a career advisor and experienced instructors only 3 weeks to achieve. I am completely satisfied with everyone’s thoughtfulness, ability, and courtesy at Katlaw. I am sure that they will continue to help all their students as they have helped me.”

“I truly enjoyed my experience with Katlaw. The driving instructors were easy to get along with and were very helpful. All instruction was clear and easy to understand. What I liked most was how everything in the instructions were laid out in an easy to understand format. All of the other staff were friendly. My instructor Wes did an excellent job.”

“I had a very good experience at Katlaw. This course is a lot to learn in 3 weeks, but a good classroom experience with William helped and a good experience with Wes in the truck helped, both teachers cared about how we did and explained very well the things we needed to learn. Overall, I had a good experience, learned a lot, passed the course with a top grade and had an easy time with my CDL test.”

“My experience with Katlaw was amazing. From the very beginning when I came to open house everyone was extremely courteous. Being unemployed and trying a start a new career is hard enough but everyone at Katlaw made a seamless transition for me. I was afraid about how I was going to learn everything about a truck in three weeks but the training provided is very thorough and this was money well spent.”

“Katlaw is a Class Organization. In three weeks, I’ve learned to straight line, off set (both sides), parallel park (both sides) and alley dock. My classroom teacher was William who made the learning a new experience fun and enjoyable however, explain the seriousness of handling an 80,000 lb weapon of mass destruction. Helen taught the skill portion. (She was) very patient, informative and a stickler for following procedures. My overall experience was awesome. Dave and everyone kept it a pleasant experience. I recommend anyone to go to Katlaw.”

“It is actually possible to teach an old dog new tricks. Having had no experience in the trucking industry, Katlaw and their excellent staff managed to educate me enough to get my CDL license at the age of 63. Hats off to Misty, Gary, Mike and Brian. Also Kudos to April.”
