Admissions office is kind (they want you to sign up of course! ) Instructors are okay, and more understanding, while the main guy (Chad) is less understand and more unprofessional, from getting upset with students who ride the bus since the bus schedule can be fickle. He was also mad that another student didn't have a ride to the dmv for that specific day (the student said he can go the next day when he would have a car) instead Chad went as far as refusing to let the student into the classroom saying he didn't care if they had to walk 3-4 hours to nearest one and back. Looking at past reviews and hearing stories from previous students and certain current students it seems he picks out certain people to harass and give a hard time hoping to make them dropout of the program, or just dropping them himself for whatever bs reason he wants. Which if you do drop the program they won't think twice about putting the bill on your credit report so they can still take the 7k - 11k from you!!! read more

Idk about all the other reviews or paying out of pocket but they sure scam veterans.I didn't go because they want to charge you 2 full months of benefits but it's not a 2 month program. It's a couple weeks. Way to treat your vets folks. read more

Nothing has changed, it's still a horrible place. If you're disabled you're a target and get ridiculed. I struggled and somehow learned a lot and the instructors will have you doing dangerous things sometimes and they yell a lot. Got out through hell because I didn't fit into their click or wasn't cute enough to be a favorite. They play favorites there. One instructor used a racist term in front of everyone on a student, just very disorganized, might as well hire the three stooges to teach you to drive. Too many inconsistencies in teaching, run down training pass and teaching that keeps changing. Just avoid, so many other great schools out there that don't charge as much. Stacy rocks! Because of him I passed my Cpl test, the rest need to all get on the same page. The vice president, I don't know if he was drinking, called me and began to harass me, close to 9pm. So be prepared, they pressure you to leave a good review and blatantly lie about not asking for good reviews and then harass anyone who leaves an honest review... smh... read more

Instructors were immature unprofessional given to gossip and slander while the classroom training was good the actual driving instruction was not good I would not recommend them . read more

Let me start off by saying this place is a nightmare to attend. This school is a money grab through and through. The individual that leads the location (Chad) does what he can to have students dropped from the course, while I personally was not one of the individuals that was targeted for dropping I've seen people dropped for ridiculous reasons. Such as being late to class, and for the first week I can understand that because that's all book work. But for the next few weeks you literally stand on the pad for hours waiting to complete maneuvers that take max 15 mins. The person that ran pti while I was there acts like a child if someone comes to a student for help (to study) and wants students to study individually. I wanted to wait a few months before I wrote this review to really gauge what they taught vs real world experience. I can say without a doubt that what they teach you there will not be relevant for real world application. You will never parallel park, you will rarely offset and you won't do the "ally dock" backing they do. The pti they teach there is drawn out more than necessary to act as a barrier to finish the course, you don't need to spend 45 mins doing a pre trip. Nor can you see if your slack adjusters are out of adjustment. A good pre trip will take 10 mins to check everything needed to be ready for the day. What they should teach future truckers is how to set up for parking from a 45 degree angle and how to slide your tandems. The place is overpriced and if you can't front the 7k it takes up front you can finance the course through the school for something along the lines of 11k, and if your going to use your GI bill you can kiss three months of it goodbye because that's how much this course takes (oh and it's not seen as full time schooling for the va so you won't get full BAH). Although I do have to say they have two amazing instructors there (Gino and miss janey) other than that the school is an aweful waste of time and money, if I could give less stars I would. read more

One of the worst driving schools ever. I only went for the weekend classes, they might have had like 2 instructors that were good. I dropped out of the program cause I didn't feel like I learned anything, every time I went, it was like every instructor had some issue. There was one that had a sandal attached to a fly swatted so if you messed up she would threaten to hit you with it, and there was another with health issues who was on a breathing machine who couldn't really direct you as you were backing up, so unprofessional. And they have the nerve to put a bill on my credit report. Fuck them!!!! The only reason they get a star is cause I have to post this review. read more

In short - you will learn DOT regs and get your CDL at an exorbitant expense ($7,000) by mediocre instructors and a maniacal head instructor (Chad) but I would look elsewhere. A complete DOT/CDL course should not exceed $3,000. Roadmaster San Antonio is an OK school and the staff is friendly save one complete A-hole jerk named Chad who's bent on compensating from being kicked out of the army or something. Dude has issues. The pre-trip inspection and DOT training guy was great (class March 2022). Some of the instructors are OK, but for $7,000 you'd think they'd have coffee, free breakfast and some f***ing shaded benches to sit on while you watch others doing driving manuevers all god****ened day for 8 hours a day. You STAND on hot pavement in the sun all day, NO sitting down. No reason for this. Has nothing to do with being a truck driver, not a damned thing. There is no continuity of instruction and that's confusing as hell. Every instructor changes what you just learned from the last guy/gal. For $7,000, you get treated like you're an army basic training recruit by people who would not make it through basic training, and you're paying for the privilege. The only reason I did Roadmaster is my G.I. Bill paid for it. I do not recommend this school and would not do it again. read more

Only reason I gave it one star is because I at least did get my CDL out of the school. This school of filled with grumpy old trainers that honestly should be retired already, I got harassed multiple times by one of the old male trainers because he lost memory that I was not in his training group. This school does not value your time or words if you financed the program. These were words from the manager, a tall bearded male. You get maybe 30 minutes out of an 8hour day to actually practice maneuvers, there's is almost no shade on the pad and the trainers get mad if they see you under the small canopy because "you're not with the group" (the group in which you are just waiting doing nothing). They do not provide ice for your water either. Although they do provide training on newer model freight liners which will be the same as many big companies have, as well as set you up with jobs while you're in the school, I would just tell anyone considering this school to be prepared for the suck. read more

omg ! DO NOT attend this school .. any body will walk in George office and say you said something about him are you so called harassed them - George will not investigate anything ! The sad thing about it the person that told him the lie's came thru the door saying her mother died and she did not die . The student was a pure bum she was boring money from me daily to eat ... she became upset because I asked her about my money she owed me ... he call me in the office and stated I could not no longer attend the program behind a lie . Slander / Defamation of character will have you in court and I'm so glad I have all the proof in a TEXT ! read more
