Coming from a Class B straight truck and not knowing a thing about tractor trailers. Ken, Rich, and Tom gave professional instruction on how to drive and back these big money makers. I finished the 4-week class and now I’m ready to make some real money. Thank you, guys, at Cypress Truck School!

I applied for this company out of the blue, while researching CDL training schools. Received a call from recruit Mark Johnson and set the date for orientation. The truck school and the instructors went above and beyond to get you ready, not only for the CDL skills test but also career as a professional driver. I would highly recommend this company for anyone with no experience to professional drivers alike.

“I went through their CDL School and started working with them right after. Great pay, very easy going about home time and they do get you home, tight knit community of employees. I was also given brand new equipment. I have nothing but good things to say about Cypress.”
