Smith & Solomon Commercial Driver Training, Philadelphia PA

Does anybody know how much the training cost it? I’m in the middle of getting my cdl b permit and wanted to find an affordable place to get my training so I can find a good job

Your 'instructor', the one in the photo's with an yellowish orange shirt on, let one of his students hit a truck and instead of being a decent human being, he tried to drive off, then he started calling the driver horrible names and said he would get beat up.
This is unprofessional as it gets. He literally taught his students to drive off if they hit something, and when they're stopped, act like a bigot and call people filthy names.

Best place ever for learning how to drive, my favorite school is the one in norristown, drew is the best instructor

Helpful, dedicated, socially excellent. Staff is fantastic, teachers are amazing. If u wanna drive a tt n get ur CDL ucome here.

Finally a CDL Training School close to home. Hopeful and looking forward to signing up for CDL training after the holidays. I hear a lot of good things about this company. Especially over CR England and Swift.

I pass my CDL test today after attending classes @ smith & Solomon. Best training school guys. Shout out to Dennis, Ruben, Eddie & Jose.

Thanks in a million guys!

Great place to get your CDL. John is very on point with his evaluations on the students maneuvers. Karen is very very patient on the bobtail & trailer trips. Ben & Bill are very professional & patient when testing the drivers. Mike is very blatant when testing the students on the in cab & air breaks for the fact that he wants to make sure that safety comes first Front office staff is great. I've been driving since the age of 14, & I've only driven manual just a few times in my life. I've learned a great deal of double clutching & the responsibilities that comes along with up shifting & down shifting here at Smith & Solomon. I would recommend anyone to this School. Thank you all for your help.

Worse place their is. My husband went to apply and bc he has a language barrier heavy set secretary told him that establishment wasn’t for him. Well guess what recently graduated got his CDL he went to Global CDL School.

Writing this review for the Norristown Campus. The training yard and it’s Instructors are very unprofessional. They play favoritism and really need a whole new staff. I paid almost 5k to teach myself. While the instructors stand around pretending to work. I was scheduled a road test Dec. 16th 2020 and failed. Then rescheduled for another test Jan. 12th 2021. I didn’t feel confident about that test. I asked one of the instructors to walk through the pre trip with me. The day before to find out that there is a checklist for the entire pre trip, maneuvers, and over the road driving. That checklist was never went over with me and should have several times. Throughout the year of me being in attendance. The words of the instructor and his apology. That checklist is put in place to make sure the students are ready for the real test. So I called the instructor to reschedule my test. I have not yet to hear from them. If zero stars was a option that would be my rating. I definitely want and deserve a refund! The better business bureau need to be called!

Awesome one monkey don't stop no show I have some blemishes on my criminal record so first students rejected my application after I passed all my test and endorsements for my class B CDL. So now I have to pay out of pocket and for me that's not a problem. I overstand that to win you have to be willing to invest in yourself. Smith & Solomon is helping me to do just that.

My personnel experience was great at Smith & Solomon at Philadelphia Location from the start until I got my CDL, thanks to (Lydia, Kiki, ben, bill Jay, Karren, Daniel) they were all great. But I have to give a big thanks to DANIEL for being a great instructor, he was very patient, friendly, understanding and best teacher you could ask for, i learned so much from him that i will keep with me for the rest of my career as truck driver, he has a lot of acknowledge of the business also one of the main things he taught me is SAFETY (pay attention to all your surroundings, read all the signs, be considerate of the others on the road also obey the law all the time). You can be a truck driver at any other school but to be a professional truck driver Smith & Solomon is you place and DANIEL is your teacher.

KARREN she was a great instructor also and I learned a lot from her, specially how to drive a Manual transmission professionally.

Great management, they handle all concerns well. Karen is a good trainer, she make me feel like family. And she is very formal and patience with students. If they have had three teacher like her, it would be excellent. Thanks for being a great the instructor.

I just passed my CDL test today and could not be happier! Great group of people down there, the instructors are very knowledgeable and are eager to handle any questions. Before Smith and Solomon i had never driven a manual transmission. One instructor I want to shout out is Daniel, within only going out on the road twice with him I was upshifting and downshifting smoothly. The guy knows what hes talking about and is consistent with the way he teaches. Just like anything else in life you get out what you put in. If you show up to the school and think you're going to pay the tuition and magically its just going to absorb into your brain you're sadly mistaken. It takes hard work, practice and alot of studying to get to where you need to be! Thank you to all the staff and instructors at smith and solomon, and a especially to Daniel he helped me understand the fundamentals.

This guys I don’t trust anymore I want a refund they fail students pay out of pocket and pass corporate students from amazon without even speaking English. They should be shut down from the state. Instructor working there put a YouTube video today exposing them.

Great place to learn, great people working there. I want to thank specially Dan, this guy though me how to down shift the proper way, he also thought me how to be a professional driver. Dan I really appreciated your teachings brother, god bless.
