Staff is very helpful as long as you communicate with them. They helped me out and worked around my schedule so I can get my lincense as fast as I can. They are helping my father as well. They are the best. I hadnt had any issues. Driving instructors are the best, they will really teach you how to drive with little of tough love. I do recommend this place because you make your schedule. Thank you CDL MEGA. K

Please dont come to this school, they will lied about the school.... Just they want your money, no student care better if you do your learning in home its going to be faster... Please if you think is cheapest school it will take you 1 year to get the license. Only they have 1 instructor .... Remember the cheapest is more expensive....... ...

Very well camouflaged crooks!!! Took mine and many other students money and closed the doors. They did this just 4 days I was to test. NOTE to anyone for the future, if you see MEGA CDL Trucking School run the other way. Cheapest I shot always best!!!! I Will be looking for them to opening under a different name or location to make sure no one gives them a dime. What goes around comes around.

Mark from pre-trip knew everything the taught, we learned both in class and outside on the trucks everything from suspensions to air brake systems and tests. Yes Mark is a little harsh on scoring to get approved for driving but on state test day there was not one question the tester asked me that I didnt know thanks to Mark. I had open availability for my driving schedule and I got my driving and test date schedule within a week. Wesley, Tim and Jose all had different teaching styles for road and skills all I had to do was to pick one style I was comfortable with. I passed road and skills with zero points on my score sheet. These guys know their stuff and have a pretty efficient program I would definitely recommend this school from my experience with them

Very disrespectful staff was called a terrorist and gangster on the phone by Tania, they are bad at teaching pre trip basically trying to have you become a truck mechanic when average it should take you 1 to 2 months of school students here average 4 to 5 months until graduation, I recommend Everyone Not To Go To This School, by the way I had 1 week left until I had an altercation over the phone with Tania and was called gangster and terrorist to graduation, they kicked me out of school for telling them like it is that there school is garbage, and cant get a refund of $1,600..... smh Stay Away from This School.

Good school if youre smart, have great study skills, and can multi task. I was fortunate not to work allowing me to complete the course from January 6th to March 4th. The following Monday I received my license. Learn the material, get your hrs in, and youll be fine. This was my experience. The negative reviews youll see are the ones from people who need there hands held and have everything handed to them. Its not like that. They tell you what to learn and you learn it. The hrs are mandatory by our crooked state. So if you think you can learn it all in 4 weeks good for you; you still need to put in the hrs. Never stop reading the material and studying untill you pass with the state is my #1 advise! Good luck!

I started the mega driving school in November 2015 I was really excited because the school was only $1800 it was a less expensive school i found, I passed my permit within one week after that they gave me my pretrip study materials and put me in a class with about 15 students at that point I wondered why was there so many people in this class, I looked at the study material and found it to be too much information, the instructor whos name is Mark told me I had to remember word for word on each page at that point I asked some of the other students about how long they have been in this class and they told me more than 6 to 9 months this school is a scam what they do is make you believe you will get your CDL but all they do is keep you in the classroom, if you do not remember every single word on the study material he will push you back week. Once you pass the pretrip with Mark you are going to put on a waiting list for about one month to two months before you can get behind the wheel for your skills test and your road test, so if youre looking for a job and you need to get your CDL license this is not the school! One of ten students will graduate they dont have the staff or the trucks to get you to get on the road. Do not go to the school you will regret it and you will be throwing away your hard earned money they need to close the school down so no one else is scammed..So I lost $1800 and signed up to another school which cost me $2400 but they guarantee I will be working in one month lesson well learned.

Attention everyone who is searching online for reasonable CDL school. Please dont waste your time and money going to this school. when you go to the school, they will convince you about their tuition and that you can graduate in 6 weeks. Let me tell you facts about this school, the average student will spent 6 months in this school before graduating that is if you are very motivated. The school is under staff so expect to go to school and either teach yourself or by other students.All you do there is to try to memorize the package they gave you. There is no class time or what so ever. All we do in our pre-trip class is sit down and complain about the program. There is no help when you needed it. According to IL D.O.T, students are required to have 40 hrs of class time, 80 hrs of Pre-Trip, 20 hrs of Skill and 20 hrs of Road. This school doesnt follow this requirement since there is no real class. You will spend your 120 hrs talking to other students or doing nothing. The same instructor that suppose to teach Pre-trip is the same instructor teaching skill or road. So therefore we have no real class time. Whenever we tell him about lecture he told us to go talk to the boss because he cannot be 2 place at the same time. And also, the instructors are terrible they have no patience or knowledge to teach. I heard that there are students there almost a year. This school is a total ripoff.Google the school and read their review before you even thinking of signing up. They got police called on them on several occasions. Do not waste your valuable time and money on them.I would post some documents to proof to you if the option was available on here

This is the best place to get your CDL if you want to be a truck driver. Dont believe what people are saying about the school you need to go check it out for yourself. All the staff are very nice and friendly and will do everything that is possible to get your CDL. All of the instructors are great and are very friendly and helpful. Mark is the pre-trip instructor he is the best pre-trip instructor and is very hard on you in the pre-trip room and wants you to know everything in pre-trip so when your test day come up you will pass all three test pre-trip , skills and driving. Anyone who want to get there CDL should really consider going to Mega CDL driving school its a great school. Thank you so much Tanya and all of the staff you guys are great. I have no complains from the school at all keep up the great work guys.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR VALUABLE TIME AND MONEY!! It is a terrible school!!Fisrt they hand you a pre trip packet and you MUST memorize it word for word. And you cannot drive until you completely memorize the packet and that can take weeks or even months! And then they put you at the bottom of a list so you can start skills and driving which can also take weeks or months. And once you start to get a hang on driving you forget all about the stupid pretrip and you have to start all over again.Save your money and go to Progressive and ask if they can match you any sorrounding school it worked for many of my friends. Or go to Acapulco its not the best school but you will get your CDL with all Endorsements. Acapulco is only $2,100- $2,300.And to top it all off they have a fat cat walking all over the desk and it sheds. My eyes felt like if I had glass in them bc I am allergic to cats.

I wanted to be a truck driver but i didnt have $3000 or more to pay for other cdl schools so i google cdl schools i found this one and went to their website. They had an Ad that said it was in promo $1,800.00 if you pay in full or $2,300.00 if u pay in installments. To me it sounded incredible, so i researched more i went to read the google reviews and i saw alot of negative reviews so iwas uneasy, but thought that does that wrote the reviews probably were isolated cases. So i decided to visit the school. Upon arriving i met the receptionist i asked her what the school offered i explained to her that i couldnt drive manual transmission. She told me that i waa going to be taken care off. So than i asked her how long on average would it take from the day i start to the day i get my license she told me if i came full time (5 hours daily) it would take from 6 to 8 weeks. It look legit i was excited. So i told her i was gonna sign up, she told me if i pay in full i only had 3 days to get a refund if i changed my mind. but if i did installment payment i had to pay in full before i started driving. So i pay 1800 in full. The following day i started. They put me in the computer room to learn the learners permit material it took me 3 weeks to lear all that and get my Comercial learners permit, once i did that i was placed in the Pre-Trip class and there i got to meet the instructor, and all the other classmates, the instructor gave me a 12 page packet(literally small text) and told me to learn it(memorize it) i been trying to memorize that packet aver seens, like other reviewers said the instructor is never there to explain or teach you. Its all self teach.. This is the worst school u could ever go to. GUYS PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND SAVE MORE AND GO TO A GOOD SCHOOL. This school is cheap, but it is the worst. I seen guys that have been here more than 11 months and they still havent beem able to even touch the semi truck. It takes avery long time to memorize thos 12 pages of pre-trip. This is a truckin school not a health care certification school they shouldnt make it that hard but sadly it is. I already have 6 months and barely memorize 7 pages i work so i dknt have much time. Guys if u want to see for yourselfs when u visit the school talk to the students,

Horrible school, i went and pre trip class was absolutly horrible. The instructor just throws you a packet and says to memorize the first 10 pages word by word. its all memorazation nothing is thaught to you, and trust me you actually want to know how to operate a loaded truck weighing 70k lbs. The 10 pages are an exageration with about 50 paraghraphs. The instructor teaches nothing at all. He leaves when ever he wants, and is not concerned for your cdl licence whats so ever. When you see their pre trip packet you will regret going there, i studied and studied and studied and had so many headaches. Once you think you have everything memorized you get quized by the instuctor and if you pass your allowed to start driving. Completing the road hours will take a couple weeks, then next thing you know bam you forgot pretrip again. The whole proccess is just horrible i actually ended up dropping out with no money back. They get everyone because they are the cheapest school around the area, but also the worst. If your reading this than trust me save your valuable money and DO NOT COME TO THIS SCHOOL. I graduated from star truck driving school in bensenville. Look them up.
