The best choice I have made in my entire life. Great teachers especially Blaine! He has the best jokes. Ron will help you as well if you just don’t get it and need extra help. My examiner Alicia made the skills test easy and the road test she made it a breeze. You will test where you practice. They will put you 1st making the over all experience a perfect one.
MrNowski
This up and coming business in the truck driver training marketplace has nice equipment, experienced and patient instructors, compassionate management and quick turn around times for maintenance issues with the trucks when they happen. I appreciate them working with my specific situation to ensure I could complete my license after leaving another school that I was not trained as well at. The instructors know the DMV standards inside and out and will make sure they get you ready to test and give you honest feedback. They are also getting examining authority soon in their yard. Good instructor to student ratio as well. Best bang for the buck in town, highly recommend!!!

I am trying to get into trucking school and had spoke to Casey about how to get enrolled to start getting financed for my CDL. I had called around to other schools but only OTR had someone available to answered my questions. He also would call to follow up with me. But since I am relocating out of state I will have to get my training where I am moving to. Casey really made me comfortable through the whole process. Great personality and definitely somebody I would refer with getting into trucking school. Very knowledgeable. You can tell he has a passion in trucking. Just an overall great guy.
Brenda Barlage
I was ready to start a new journey in my life. Otr helped me obtain my class a cdl with confidence and without hesitation. The office staff is warm and welcoming. They didn’t make me feel like just a number through the door. They help me understand what I needed to do, and then gave me the keys to open my own doors. As for the instructors they took the time to make sure I understood what they were saying and how to put what they were saying into action. They pushed me when I needed to be pushed and calmed me when I was nervous. To think less than 30 days ago I was scared to parallel park my daily driver, now I’m parallel parking a 70 foot tractor and trailer with ease. Thank you OTR for providing me the keys to succeed!
Richard White

All around this school is great and amazing I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get their cdl

I have a story about Blaine Bowen. I attended his class and I am now a over the road truck driver driving all 48 states. I was in class with a young mother who was working as a hostess in a Denny’s at the state line between Nevada and California which was an hour away from the school. This young mother lived in pahrump so she had to drive one hour to work and then she had to drive one hour to get to school, this young lady didn’t have gas money to get to school so Blaine told her that him and his wife were going to go have lunch at her restaurant and he was going to leave her a tip big enough to cover her gas expenses to get home, to get to school, and to get to work everyday for a month. As we all know gas is expensive and she did not live close to the school or her job. Besides him being a kind person he was down to earth he was funny and he was very patient and kind. He’s just a cool down to earth man and I really loved being in his class. I’m now gainfully employed and I feel great.
Mamita Linda
This a great place to get your CDL very friendly crew and the prices are fair compared to other schools .I was already a cdl holder but needed manual transmission lessons as a refresher Casey helped pick the right classes working around my work schedule. Blaine is a great teacher learned alot more from him on how to shift on a manual truck than anyone else.

If you are looking to get your CDL, I highly recommend giving OTR a call. I did my research and went to visit 5 other schools in Las Vegas before enrolling with OTR. They were able to work with me on a refresher course since I had previously attended another school (NEVER GO TO 160 Driving Academy) and I just needed to work on my skills and retake my test. I was blown away by the difference in this school. The office and classroom had a welcoming feel, the staff were genuine and knowledgeable, my instructors on the yard were patient and encouraging. I wish I would have went to this school my first time around. This school doesn’t just feel like they want to take your money, they seem genuinely invested in you as a person. If you’re willing to put in the work, they will be there to support and guide you with the areas you may be struggling with and make sure you are given the opportunity to be successful.
Everyone I worked with was amazing, thank you Grace, Cliff, Christina, Blaine, Tony, and Big Mike for giving me a second chance!

I recently completed my CDL training at OTR and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The instructors here are top-notch, extremely knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping students succeed.
The school’s facilities are excellent, with modern equipment (ex. a simulator, as seen in pic) and a well-maintained skills yard that simulated real-world driving scenarios. The staff was always friendly and supportive, making the learning process memorable.
If you’re serious about pursuing a CDL license and a career in trucking, I highly recommend this school. The staff truly care about helping you jump start your career.

Coco Melon, the class is very informative and worth every penny. The instructor jerry works with you in class and the driving instructors work with you to make sure you are ready. Cynthia, ray, and matt best instructors by far. Kyle the examiner makes sure you know what you’re talking about and works with you. Definitely one of the best experiences.
Ramon Alojipan
It was like a Spike Lee production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Without Jason, Tony, or Jerry it would have been a disaster.
Brad
Listen up closely, this is Hands Down the best truck driving school in Las Vegas!!!! Jay taught me my incab and outside inspection to perfection. These guys are experts and will train you to be the best. Jason as my driving skills instructor is unparalleled! He made this the greatest experience that I’ve ever had behind the wheel of a combination vehicle. Between Jay and Jason you simply can’t fail. Jerry, Faircloth, and Blaine ensure your success. I’m now making over 129k a year thanks to their diligence and expertise. You’d be a fool to choose another school period!
Preston Maye
I give this school a 10 out of 10!! They have the best instructors Jason is the best!! He is patient and he make sure you know every skill until you almost feel like a pro. Jason makes sure you are very comfortable behind the wheel. I am so grateful OTR hired him to be an instructor. Another instructor that’s amazing is Jay. He is so funny and down to earth. He like to get down to business and the same time he wants to see you win. He is amazing inside and out. He is amazing when it comes to pre trip, guaranteed you will get it down pack with Jay. A lastly Tony… he put the D in Dynamite 🤣 He was the first instructor to help me lose the anxiety my first time behind the wheel. He answered all my questions and took his time to go over any skill I didn’t feel confident in. This school gets a 👍🏽. Choosing this school was the best decision I ever made.
Bernice Evans
