I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional instruction provided by Joe Rios in guiding my son through the process of obtaining his Commercial Driver's License (CDL). From the very beginning, Joe demonstrated a level of dedication and expertise that truly set him apart. Joe's approach to teaching is both comprehensive and tailored to individual needs. He possesses a deep understanding of the CDL requirements and takes the time to ensure that each student not only meets but exceeds the necessary standards. His commitment to safety and proficiency is evident in every aspect of his instruction. One of the standout qualities of Joe is his excellent communication skills. He is patient, approachable, and always willing to address any questions or concerns. My son, who initially had some apprehensions about the process, quickly felt at ease under Joe's guidance. Joe's ability to break down complex concepts into easily digestible information significantly contributed to my son's success. Moreover, Joe goes above and beyond by creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. His passion for teaching is evident, and he instills a sense of confidence in his students, motivating them to strive for excellence. Joe's genuine interest in his students' success is truly commendable. Thanks to Joe's effective instruction, my son not only obtained his CDL but did so with a level of ease that exceeded our expectations. He not only passed the necessary tests but demonstrated a deep understanding of the responsibilities that come with holding a CDL. In conclusion, Joe Rios is an outstanding instructor who has made a lasting impact on my son's journey to becoming a licensed commercial driver. I wholeheartedly recommend Joe to anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable, and supportive instructor for CDL training. My family is grateful for his contributions to our son's success in this important endeavor.

I came across Columbia Basin TDS when I was looking to send one of my technicians for his CDL. Joe was a pleasure to speak with and very knowledgeable. You can tell he is in it to teach the CORRECT way. His wife was very on top of it as well sending me all the information I needed to register. I was very impressed. This is coming from someone who has sent 7 people to school between 3 states. This was the best school that I have sent any of my Washington team to and wish I would have sent one other to them as well. (Instead of another well known truck school who I had problems with right off the bat!) Trust me. Come to Columbia!

My experience at Columbia Basin Truck Driving School was excellent!! Joe was a great instructor, with class sizes being small Joe was able to teach to each individual students learning ability and make sure that when they graduated they knew how to safely operate a semi truck. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get there CDL license!
