What
graduates have to say about DRC and CDL careers!!
These guys are the bomb!! Our instructors all know their stuff, they trained us well, and treated us like family. Our class bonded well because of it, and we were prepared for our CDL test. Thanks, MTC!!

This training was definitely an experience I can say that I enjoyed. The instructors had a lot of knowledge and made learning fun. They take their time and make sure you are prepared. I can say that not only did I gain experience, but I also gained friendships.
