AAAA Driving School of Staten Island/Secure Driving School

Driving schools have always seemed seedy to me but I had to go to one to obtain my CDL. The whole process started with me heading to the main office on Richmond Avenue first where I met with a few typical Staten Island women. Out of the three only one acknowledged I was standing there and got me started on my paperwork. I don’t remember her name but she was really sweet and explained all the packages available and also explained the whole process from starting the driving lessons to whatever fees might have to be paid to the DMV.
If you’re ever in need of a CDL and already have a regular drivers license I’d suggest you get the smallest or cheapest package because driving a truck is just like driving a car except for different safety precautions and laws. No need for a 20 lesson package unless you got the money to burn.
After paying for my package in full I was able to schedule my appointments with one of the instructors who I can’t remember what his name was but reminded me a lot like Tony Soprano. He gave me everything I needed to know to pass the road test and was patient during the learning process as far the annoying pre trip inspection to different truck maneuvers.
Right before the road test we went along the actual route that I’d use for the test to get familiar with it so I wouldn’t be surprised with the DMV representative. This helped a lot. I knew every sign and every turn before I took the road test.
Thanks to the ppl over at AAAA I was able to pass my CDL B with all endorsements on the first try!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE
