Don't even think of dealing with Allied Training Systems if you're looking to train for your CDL. The instruction is a joke. They will actually teach you how to break the law and not getting caught. On more than one occasion, Mr. Hutchison himself joked about how easy it is to pull the wool over the DOT's eyes.
I finally dropped out of Allied and went with another trucking school. When I tried to get a refund, Mr. Hutchison got really belligerent and basically told me what to do with myself. I told him I was posting this here, and he threatened to sue me if I did.
Avoid Allied Training Systems at all costs. Don't deal with Allied unless you want to lose your CDL and/or go to jail, because you'll be taughtall wrong, and even illegal things. There are much better trucking schools out there. I found one near Columbus that was much better.
