The people that are saying this school is terrific are lying through their teeth. They have a very high failure rate in NJ. Their success rate comes from the students they send out to Pennsylvania. Its so much nonsense going on over there. The students who go to PA have a better advantage, because the course they are invited to practice on is the same course they test on. If you fail, you come back every 3 days and you start from where you left off. If you fail at a NJ location you have to wait 2 long weeks and you have to start from the very beginning (3 part test). Students have been at the Linden location for as long as 3 months to 15 months, and the school just continues to take their money with no problem. When you go to RECONN the school, take a look at their trucks. They are horrible, extremely old, and break down. They constantly are sending their trucks to get fixed and they break down again. If you get to go on the truck at 8 am you might not get back on a truck until 2:30 pm. There are lines as long as 20-30 students and they restrict you from trying other maneuvers, even if there are less people on another line. This school is a nightmare. The few people who do pass in NJ actually go to other driving schools to get hourly tutoring. So when they pass, S&S swears its solely because of them, but its not. In addition, these poor people are basically forced to pay for 2 schools because the one they signed up for isn't efficient and lacks professionalism in so many areas. The instructors are impatient. They yell at the students who never drove stick before. They are even worse on the people that speak little English. They are degrading in their approach and the manager there hates pertinent feedback or constructive criticism. He yells at the students during meetings for bringing up issues and concerns. They have very little temperament and to think they are getting paid, not the other way around. The students in the yard are basically teaching each other. Theyre also learning from you tube. The instructors in the yard don't teach you. They just tell you to turn left, turn right the entire time you're there. It's mind-blowing. Don't let these crooks fool you. The pro & cons are simple: they are cons. The only pro is that they are aligned with many trucking companies and the recruits come out often, other than that, this school is a mistake. Again, people are paying other schools hourly rates as high as $75 -$110 per hour because of they arent learning from the deadbeat instructors. And when you talk to these guys who are getting the additional training, they tell you how nice the instructors are at the other schools, and how patient they were and how they grabbed the concept immediately. This is strange when you think about it. They all regret signing a contract with S&S. Furthermore, the trucks they send to the road tests frequently break down and they have to send the students home. That is not fair to the students because now they have to wait for another date, while all the students who get sent to PA to take their test & PASS, PASS, PASS, because its set up for them to pass. And they are very selective on who they send to PA. Students continually fail at the NJ sites. The question you have to ask yourself is why are so many students still there after 2 months? Why are they still there after 4 months? Why are so many students still there after 6 months? The other truck driving schools will have you out of there in less than 3 months. All in all, S&S at the Linden location is a time consuming and nerve racking mess. S&S (Linden location) is smoke and mirrors. Big name, Little results. There are many other schools in NJ to look into that will ensure you get your license in less than 3 months and give you job placement. Thats a fact! If you have time and money to waste and choose to go to this school, you will remember this review and say WOW, that guy was right. They need to get rid of the entire staff includi

Worst school. They said a lot of good things about the school when I went to school and get my training started. It is supposed to be 8 or 10 students but went to school there were more than 25 students. You have to wait an hour and half to get your turn.

dont take the night class!!!!!!!!!!!!
