Review & Rating
Katlaw Trucking company of Austell is the only trucking school I've attended, so I can't compare them with anyone else. But from my experience it's not a good school several of the instructors such as Mr. Steve, Jim and Gwen were insightful and I learned a few things but overall I would say they are not a good company. The equipment is faulty such as unaligned steering wheels on some of the vehicles. Instructors do not have patience with the students and due to a clause in their agreement they can drop a student without warning before you get to test at DDS. Taking a student's hard earned money or federal grant leaving a person out in the cold. So be very careful when dealing with this company. I am looking into legal actions as I am typing this review. At first I sent at least two referrals to this company but that was before I witnessed their sheisty politics first hand. Also I witnessed their passer rate with 7 guys in my class going to test and no one come back with their cdl's. So have caution when dealing with this company.
My name is Zandre and I attended Katlaw driving school and passed with flying colors thanks to the staff Katy Gabby Archie and can’t forget Helen best instructors best school best help loving staff that really care about there jobs they go above and beyond for there students.I wouldn’t attend any other school thanks to them I can finally move forward in life thank you Katlaw..I will be getting the Katlaw logo tattooed Very soon.
Katlaw was great. I learned so much about a truck in 2 weeks it shocked me. I passed my class b exam with flying colors. Thanks katlaw and my instructor ms Hellen. I highly recommend this company.
I am a soon to be student and female driver. I came into the school a fee months ago to get info and was very excited. While i was there there was a guy walked from the back i felt him staring at me. He was looking at me as if i shouldn't have been there. He then said "Do you need something?" I told him i was there as a potential student and i was filling out my paperwork. He then said " YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE A TRUCK DRIVER!" and omg from that point he discouraged the hell out of me. I found out he was the OWNER of the school. That is absolutely no way to talk to a student. You shoukd rather encourage all drivers and in no way DISCRIMINATE against a FEMALE TRUCKER. That was very unprofessional of him being in BUSINESS period. I felt so discriminated against. I was supposed to start in December but i told them i couldn't get the money when in fact me being discouraged to start or not go full throttle to get the money had 90% to do with what the OWNER told me to my face. I feel so discouraged at this point and like i cant do it. He left a really bad 1ST IMPRESSION on me and he also talks horribly to some of the employees. I understand you're the BOSS and big KAHUNA or BIG MAN ON THE BLOCK but there is a way you talk to people that want to do BUSINESS WITH YOU after all the students are how you GET YOUR MONEY in the first place UPDATE:: even the owners response shows how much of an ego he has ... All of his responses are rude on here
I love Katlaw Driving School great instructor Mr. Archie Maines is the best teacher ever made learning so easy . I will recommend this school .
This has to be the best school in Ga to go get your CDL at. Got my CDL today ! One and done ! Got some real good people in there. Gabby was very helpful and motivating and she will try her best to work whatever situation you got going on with you. The class room instructor Archie was very cool, had a lot of knowledge to teach and once you get on the yard there is Steve, Mike, and Jim they are the best out there and they really care about you learning the material. Done expect to come in and just magically get your CDL you have to work for it and put in some of your personal time to study. I had an amazing experience here and I would recommend this school to anybody !
Trust this program has what is need based on the curriculum and guidelines. With this being a crash course who will have to be a willing and able body individual that really want to obtain their CDL. The staff is very knowledgeable about the program and the instructors provide their wisdom which means that they can help. I DO RECOMMEND THIS PROGRAM
Do not go to this school. It’s a rip off. Trucks are old and broke down all the time. Class is over packed. You don’t get adequate driving time. People constantly failing to pass test to get there license. This school is in business to take your money. Try at your own risk!
If you are really wanting to get the training you need to be a professional truck driver, then Katlaw Truck Driving School is the place you need to be. With persistence and dedication you can be a part of the new elite in the transportation industry. The instructors Mike, Steve, Ken, and Archie are some of the best in the industry for training you to be the next top dog. The ladies in the office Gabby, Diana, Kattie, and Mellisa are very professional and work hard to make sure you get what you need. Also, just an FYI, Gabby is not a receptionist!...
I've seen good, bad and great reviews, of course different folks will have their own opinions but I noticed that every opinion that was very good or very bad had a LOT to do with the amount of effort put into the training by the student. Put in a little effort get little to no results, study and pay attention, use your time wisely and you WILL do very well and probably pass the first time through. I studied every night and spent as much time in a truck as I could get. I got to know several of the instructors quite well and really appreciated the amount of time each one was willing to spend with me and their ability to challenge me and I took notice to how much time they spent with some students who were not quite getting some of the maneuvers, not everyone is going to get it right away. Not every one learns the same way. I can say that I took a bit of useful Ideas and help from each instructor, Put it all together and found a style that worked well for me. The're some instructors that didn't seem like the hand holding, baby sitting type and at first I thought to myself I really don't see how this is helpful, but as I gave it a chance I ended up spending most of time with those instructors. I didn't see it at first but their style ended up being what worked for me. I feel like they have a wide variety of instructors because there are wide variety of drivers. Find the one that works for you. They are fair, thorough, understanding and they WILL challenge you to do better. PS. One and Done! Passed the DDS 1st time through. They didn't have a shirt I'm my size so I got one for my wife. Thank you to everyone at Katlaw but a huge shout out to Jim and Steven.
