"To the prospective student: I believe CROSSROADS Training Academy is the best educator for entry level drivers. I have found that although some of the training centers possess some of the parameters, not all of them seemed to offer qualities to the same extent as CROSSROADS did. CROSSROADS Training Academy is a good, solid course staffed by great people wiling to spend the time you need to succeed. I also found that prospective employers have a high regard for CROSSROADS and it's graduates. I would be happy to talk to anyone considering CROSSROADS for their driver training."

"During the 6-week program, all the staff were very helpful in assisting with any aspect if the program. They were also very helpful in guiding me with all the information and know- how in getting a job as a professional driver. I'm glad I chose CROSSROADS and not the cheaper, non-accredited schools. Their success rate speaks for itself. They set up information nights where you can speak to students and meet representatives from future employers. in my personal case that turned out to be Schneider International. Many thanks to the entire staff- of "family" as they call themselves for a most enjoyable and productive learning experience. They speak the truth! Trust them!"
