My name is Eric Miller, originally from Cleveland, Ohio. I'm the lead Instructor for CDL. I have 17 years as a driver and 9 years as an Instructor. I really enjoy working as an Instructor because it gives me the opportunity to Teach potential future CDL drivers. It is a Blessing to give back the knowledge and understanding of how important it is to hold a Class A CDL License. And I thank the Standards of Excellence Academy for giving me the opportunity to pass again the knowledge that I have gained over the years as a driver.

aka. ZZ I have been driving professionally since 1983, beginning my career with Schneider National as a company driver, trainer, and instructor. In 1996, I purchased my first truck and drove as a team with my wife for three years with Schneider. I then spent 15 years driving tankers, accumulating over 3 million accident-free miles throughout my career. Before the Academy, I worked as a CDL instructor for 160 Driving Academy for two years. I Love being a Teacher, every student learns differently and I’ll step up to the challenge. My Goal is to help You achieve Your Goal!
