I was a student here from November to December 2023. And if you don't know anything about trucking or have never been in a semi-truck for that matter, DO NOT under any circumstances whatsoever come to this "school" (if they still call themselves that). I truly wouldn't even recommend this place to my worst enemy. I did not earn my CDL from here and trust me it wasn’t from a lack of trying, but because I was not ready to do my DMV driving test after entrusting this school to train me properly. I really only got my CDL because of myself and ultimately going to a different school and messing around with the trucks trying to get it right because I didn't get taught a thing at United, but if you pass with your CDL from here they'll definitely take the credit for all the work the student did

I was a student here from Nov of 2023 to Dec 2023. If you don't know anything trucking, DO NOT under any circumstances whatsoever come to this "school" if you can avoid it. I truly wouldn't even recommend this place to my worst enemy. I did not earn my CDL from here and trust me it wasn’t from a lack of trying, but because I was not ready to do my DMV driving test after entrusting this school to train me properly. Classes are beyond disorganized whether it was instructors clashing several times a day due to differing methods of doing things or heck because instructors wanted to have a random phone break in the middle of instructing at the oddest times. Moreover, the admin staff and especially the yard supervisor (Vee Lampkin) they are just also all around the most horrendous and neglectful people you'll meet they WILL be disrespectful towards the honest learner especially if you are not getting the concept at first, the instructors will find a way to go off on you like maniacs for not getting it right when you're paying them to learn. It happened to me and several others. I really only got my CDL because of myself and ultimately going to a different school because I didn't get taught a thing at United, but if you pass with your CDL from here they'll definitely take the credit for all the work the student did, but if not they’ll just toss you aside and pocket your money. United if anything deals more in quantity rather than quality in the sense that everything was so rushed moving you from one “skills phase” to the next rather than truly caring if the student understood the concept or not. They enroll so many students that it was beyond difficult to get scheduled for classes and even to catch up on behind the wheel time for the active students going through their initial yard weeks which is only 2 because you waste the first 2 weeks getting talked at and watching old videos that have NOTHING TO DO with what you’ll be tested on at the DMV. And oh, how could I forget, they also have a trucking simulator that students get to barely use because they are so worried that a student may ‘break it’, but the recruiter will bring it up to you as to justify you spending your money here AND you’ll get to see every instructor use it doing there break time but damn you if the student tries. After my last class I had to wait over a month to take my CDL driving test. They still pushed me to take it after poorly training me and the result at the end was predictable which shows how ethical they are. I then enrolled at Felipe's Truck Driving School and in only a few QUALITY weeks with caring instructors I got my CDL AFTER I unlearned ALL the horrible habits taught here at United. Because the instructors here at United kept rushing me and telling me i should just quit, which did not help the situation. One in particular, where one of the instructors (I’ll let you guess), had no tact and made a comment to the effect of I'm better than everyone else you better listen to me like he actually "knew something" and would just shake his head and make the dumbest snide comment like he was in high school, he really tried to make me feel less than when I made an honest mistake and instead of honestly just teaching me he'd run his suck, but I guess he’d rather be stuffing something into his fat suck, and ultimately how he's an instructor allowed on the yard and not in a cage at a zoo or mental institution is beyond me. All in all, I have more terrible experiences I could easily cite from this nightmare experience (but there's a character limit). Overall it was a complete waste of time and energy which I'll never get back. Everyday at United felt like I was working against myself. A lot of people are relying on this ‘school’ for their future careers to put food on the table and I feel like they could ultimately care less cause again you’ve paid in full just to start at united regardless if you pass or not they’ve got theirs but the ultimate question is will you at the end get yours.
