5 Reasons New Sound is Washington’s #1 CDL School

When it comes to starting your CDL career, there are few decisions more important than choosing which CDL school to attend. In Washington state, you’re required to go through a recognized CDL program before you can qualify to take the exam. But the right school doesn’t just prepare you for your CDL exam; it equips you with the skills, confidence, and connections that you need to succeed. New Sound CDL School is a cut above the rest with a five-star rating and an 80% pass rate for first-time CDL exam takers.

There are five major reasons why this program has earned the best reputation in Washington state. From its expert instructors to multilingual language support and more, here’s what makes New Sound CDL School different from other CDL schools.

1. Expert Instructors: Learn from the Best

The instructors at New Sound CDL School have decades of real-world trucking experience in refrigerated trailers, dry vans, passenger vans, box trucks, dump trucks, curtain-side trailers, flat beds, military trucks, and more. These aren’t just teachers—they’re industry veterans who’ve been behind the wheel for thousands of miles across multiple countries. They know what it takes to succeed on the road firsthand and are passionate about sharing their knowledge and keys to success. Not only that, they’re also experienced educators with decades spent teaching and training students, so you’ll receive the best of both worlds.

• Real-Life Experience: The instructors have personally faced every scenario you can imagine—bad weather, tight deadlines, and tricky road conditions. They’ll teach you how to practically handle these challenges with confidence.
• Expert Teaching Methods: Combining practical trucking knowledge with effective teaching techniques, the instructors know how to break down complex topics into simple steps that you can understand.
• Individual Support: Every student is unique, and the instructors take the time to tailor their teaching to your needs. Whether you’re struggling with pre-trip inspections, backing maneuvers, or road driving, they’ll patiently guide you with personal attention.

What the Students Are Saying:

"I sincerely thank your school for the excellent training! All the instructors are true professionals who always find an individual approach to each student.

From the clean and safe training yard to the dedicated trucks, everything is designed to give you real-world experience in a professional environment. Our classrooms are warm and welcoming with free coffee and tv-screens and whiteboards for an environment where you can learn in comfort.

• Modern, Clean Facility: Our facility includes a comfortable classroom and a fully-paved training yard that’s fenced-in with security cameras for safety. The yard is pothole and gravel-free, ensuring smooth practice sessions that let you focus on learning your backing and maneuvering.
• Up-to-Date Equipment: Students train on clean, modern trucks and trailers that are specifically designated for training and meet today’s industry standards. This means you’ll be fully prepared to handle the vehicles you’ll use on the job.
• Hands-On Practice: You’ll practice pre-trip inspections, parking, backing up, and driving in real-world traffic conditions in our yard and nearby to completely prepare for the CDL exam.

What the Students Are Saying:

"Awesome school, comfortable and warm classroom. Yard is paved, no potholes, and the instructors do their best to help students understand everything about the truck. The yard is fenced and has security cameras and guards to protect students. Yard has no gravel, which helps me to learn how to do the backing movements and city drive.

3. Job Placement Assistance: Go Beyond the Classroom

With New Sound CDL School, you don't have to worry about finding a job after getting your CDL. We’re partnered with leading trucking companies like Sysco, Swift, McLane, and more to make sure you can find a position immediately after graduation. Here’s what our job placement assistance looks like at New Sound:

• Top Partnerships: Our close contacts in well-known companies like Old Dominion and Saia give you access to some of the best jobs in the industry.

4. Language Support: A School For Everyone

Our school unlocks endless opportunities for non-native English speakers and immigrants. If you struggle with the English language, getting a high-paying career in the United States can seem like an impossible task. Trying to pass the CDL exam may feel like a waste of money, but that’s where we come in. Our talented instructors are native speakers of Spanish, Russian, and Ukrainian, so you can get the support you need while learning difficult concepts. Here’s how our team is dedicated to helping non-native English speakers pass their CDL exams the first time:

• Language-Specific Instruction: Trucking terms are explained in your native language to ensure you fully understand the material and can master the exam.
• Personalized Help: If you’re struggling with certain topics, our instructors will work with you one-on-one until you’re confident and ready to move on.
• Welcoming Atmosphere: We are proud of our family atmosphere, where everyone is welcome and can feel comfortable, supported, and motivated to succeed, regardless of their heritage or language level.

What the Students Are Saying:

"The best CDL school in Washington. The instructors teach in English, Russian, Ukrainian, and Spanish. Some of the students didn’t speak English and passed their CDL test with flying colors. Why is that? It’s because the instructors are that good and will work with you on a personal level." – Evergreen Exterior Cleaning

5. Flexible Schedules: Training That Fits Your Life

We understand that many students have to juggle work, family, and other responsibilities while pursuing their CDL. That’s why we offer flexible training options to make sure everyone is able to succeed. Here’s some of the options we offer to make your dreams possible:
