Carolina Trucking Academy Southwest Raleigh, Raleigh

This place is great! I was hesitant before starting classes because I knew nothing about trucks but I am so glad I pushed myself to learn something knew. The instructors and owners are great there and by the end of the classes I felt ready and confident to start working. Thanks to CTA I was able to secure a job and start working right out of school.

I am speechless nothing can describe this Nightmare , From the Manager to a Lady called D . To the old lady in the reception they are nothing but Rude and ignorant. The manager is the worst person in the school she is nothing but psychopath Karens , instructors are Nightmare too , If you ask a question clearly they will tell you : read the paper that in your hand ( I felt I am doing online course defiantly 100% relying on my self . Overall experience -0 out of 10

I graduated and earned my CDL-A license from CTA on 02/20/24. Best experience ever. The entire staff were very helpful, patient and knowledgeable. Mr. Scott coached me through the classroom portion and helped me study for my permit. Mrs. Dee guided me thru the pre trip inspection training and assessment. For the yard and backing maneuvers i was trained by Mrs. Regina and Mr. Rodger. Without their help and positive feedback I don t think I would ve graduated at all. When I made it to the road training...
Read full review I was placed under the tutelage of Mr. Doug who put me behind the wheel of a Freightliner Cascadia. At first I was nervous but Mr. Doug watched and guided me every step of the way and definitely put me at ease as I drove the streets of Raleigh and the backroads of Garner. Once finished with the road portion it was time to test out. My test was conducted with Mr. Tyrone. He was all business yet very fair. The only pressure I felt was what I put on my self. At times I would freeze up and have to think of what to do next but he was very patient and never once made me feel anxious or rushed. Overall my experience at CTA was 100% positive and I d definitely recommend CTA to anyone in the Triangle area looking to earn their CDL A or B license or forklift and heavy equipment certification. Honorable mention, instructors Mr. Alex, Mr. D and Mr. Edric who were all available to help with any questions. Mrs. Terressa who kept things in order and the owner Mrs. Michaela for giving me the opportunity. (Sorry if I misspelled any of the names)

Carolina Trucking Academy offers exceptional training by the best instructors in the industry. Its not only their knowledge and experience that sets them apart. The instructors care about you as an individual and take the time and patience to help you learn. I also learned from other accomplished students who come from a variety of sectors: master journeymen, seasoned drivers from other countries, folks from the corn and grain industry, etc. Attending the Academy opened my eyes to the beauty of the Trucking industry. Thank you, American Truckers, for your service to our country.

Carolina Trucking Academy is AMAZIIIIIING!!! From the owners, office staff and instructors, everyone was very knowledgeable and willing to help. Being at this school makes me feel so proud of myself, accomplishing something Ive wanted for a long time and this school was the perfect place to do so. I most definitely would recommend this school to anyone looking to get in to trucking. This school will always have a special place in my heart and Im grateful for everyone that had a part in my success.

Carolina Trucking Academy was an awesome experience. The staff is amazing. Mrs. Michaela is the new owner she is doing her best in making sure is ran properly. She is strict, firm but she is fair and wants you to succeed. Scott is an awesome individual who goes out of his way to help in anyway he can. I mainly did my driving with Mr. D and that man will get you right. He is tough but its only to make you better I learned so much with Mr. D. If I had to do it again, I would request Mr. D as my instructor...
Read full review. He is old school and will tell you how it is. With his knowledge I know I will succeed in my driving career. What brought me to them is they work with your schedule. I had a full time job and was still able to attend class. They let me come at 7am and leave at 12pm. Yes it took me longer than four weeks but i dont know many if any schools that will allow you to do that. I would recommend anyone looking to obtain their cdls to check out CTA.

I just Graduated from Carolina trucking, couldn t be happier with the instructors. They also have recruiters come out to the yard for job opportunities!

I have attended the school and yesterday I pass the 160 hours required for my class A. The staff was really straight up on what it would take to pass the school and be successful. Mr. Charlie, Mrs. Donna, Mr. David, and Mrs. Teresa made sure all students have equal opportunity and there was always an open door policy. The instructors on the yard was really helpful from the pre trip, backing, and driving. They made sure every student got hands on. Special thanks to Tony he is a great instructor on backing up a tracker and trailer. Mr. Kevin thanks for teaching me how to shift a manual Transmission. This was an excellent experience. I would recommend this school to anyone looking to get there CDL.

I recently attended this school and received my class A CDL. The team at CTA is very experienced and success driven for their students. Anyone willing to show up every day ready to learn will be taught by great instructors. And with the combined effort of the team they do an outstanding job to not only help you pass the CDL test but to also help you find a career path before your training is complete. Over all great experience and highly recommended.

I recently graduated from CTA and my experience was great, from the first day the leaders explain to you what to look for in this class and until the end every word was true. Mr. Charlie and Mrs. Gray have a wonderful school and a great team. Your dream can be achieved to have a CDL with the instructions from and leadership and hard work at Carolina Trucking Academy. I learned more from this place than just about trucking.
