Alicia Stanford

Instructor

Alicia quotes her greatest accomplishment as “becoming a CDL instructor.” She is very grateful to be able to help others gain the knowledge needed to become great truck drivers.

The instructors are very knowledgeable about the trucks. I’ve never been in a truck before this course. With all the tips and tricks they tell us, I highly recommend R&J Elite CDL Training.

I enjoy this school because you get more one-on-one training time with the instructors. We only have 4 students in each class. It’s been a great experience. I’m looking forward to the truck driving experience. It doesn’t feel like a job; it’s an adventure. Great training, one on one and attentive.

Before this course I had no knowledge about trucks, let alone about driving them. This training has given me the opportunity to learn a lot and given me insight on safety and different protocols to take. I would recommend R&J Elite CDL Training to anyone interested in getting your CDL.
