Signing up was easy and all online, and the website actually explains things clearly. I worked with Donald and he was the best. I'm an anxious almost 40 year old who had never had a license, and he never made me feel weird about that. He was always on time, very calm, and just a genuinely kind person. I had a few lessons with him and it was 100% worth it. I have a lot of driving anxiety and test anxiety, and he gave feedback in a way that didn't make me feel worse. Driving started to feel doable, which I did not expect tbh! I hadn't taken a driving test in over 20 years, but I did it! I passed! I have a driver's license now!! I spent years renewing my permit and trying to build confidence but it wasn't happening. Especially because practicing with a spouse or family member is... difficult (iykyk). But this was completely different. My driving was better than I thought, and I actually got comfortable behind the wheel. I really can't thank Donald enough. This genuinely changed my life, which feels dramatic but is also true.

First I did my online research, The Bay Area has a couple of options but the reviews from people's personal experiences weren't the best. (It's preferable to not mention those schools.) On the other hand I personally got informed about a instructor by the name of Bladimir. This close friend told me he was his instructor from 10+ yrs ago and the Owner/Instructor of "SchoolOfTrucking", a one man show. I sent him a message and he personally gave me a call back. My overall experience with School of Trucking was spectacular. Bladimir brings a good spirit every morning with motivational vibes. Not only that but he is very knowledgeable and I picked up on how patient he was with each and every one of us. As a graduate from "SchoolOfTrucking", I recommend anyone who is interested in getting their Commercial driver's license to give him a call and take the time to meet him. There won't be any second thoughts about going elsewhere. A thought to keep in mind when choosing the right school for yourself is the more students you have in one class the less attention there will be for each and every one of you. Don't make the wrong decision... choose School Of Trucking with Bladimir "The Teacher Of Life" Como todos los demás, cuando decides dar el siguiente paso en la búsqueda de tu carrera soñada en el transporte por carretera, comienza la búsqueda de escuelas de CDL. Primero hice mi investigación en línea, el Área de la Bahía tiene un par de opciones, pero las reseñas basadas en experiencias personales no eran las mejores. (Es preferible no mencionar esas escuelas.) Por otro lado, me informé personalmente sobre un instructor llamado Bladimir. Un amigo cercano me dijo que él había sido su instructor hace más de 10 años y que es el propietario/instructor de "SchoolOfTrucking", Le envié un mensaje y él mismo me devolvió la llamada. Mi experiencia general con School of Trucking fue espectacular. Bladimir aporta un buen espíritu cada mañana con vibras motivacionales. No solo eso, sino que es muy conocedor del tema y noté lo paciente que era con cada uno de nosotros. Como graduado de "SchoolOfTrucking", recomiendo a cualquiera que esté interesado en obtener su licencia de conducir comercial que lo llame y se tome el tiempo de conocerlo. No habrá dudas sobre ir a otro lugar. Un pensamiento a tener en cuenta al elegir la escuela adecuada para ti es que mientras más estudiantes haya en una clase, menos atención recibirá cada uno de ustedes. No tomes la decisión equivocada... elige School Of Trucking con Bladimir "El Maestro de la Vida".

My son and I felt they prepared him…read more Here we are today and since we had a great experience with them before we thought we'd schedule APlaza for my other child. Something has definitely changed over the past 10 years. My child was not as prepared. My husband and I had to do most of the training. We were expecting A-Plaza to teach/guide my child in the following skills: parallel parking, reversing, etc. Basics- we were hoping they would reinforce what we were also teaching. My child stated they did not help with those skills. My child was to drive wherever the instructor suggested- straight driving. Another note- instructors would be late as well. It looks like many others have a great experience- unfortunately, we're not one of them.

Worst driving instructor I've ever had. Incompetent and rude. Yells and doesn't teach…read more I had recently gotten my license in NYC, but had only learned parallel parking not perpendicular parking (not a lot of parking lots in nyc). I came to her to learn that skill after moving to California. The entire lesson felt like a fever dream. She talked down to me and yelled at me for perceived non-existent slights, doing what she asked or not reading her mind. Some examples: yelled at me for not going when she had her foot on the break, hit brakes hard when I approached a 15mph speed bump going 11mph. I asked her what speed she expected. She couldn't tell me. Yelled at me to go when there was a car coming, I could go on and on... For parking her only instruction was "use your eyes" and "work your wheel". When I asked if there was a specific distance I should start turning from, or any visual cues, she got angry yelled at me that there's no such thing and that she can't "do it for me". I asked her if she could tell me if I pulled in too soon, or when to turn so she could help me develop the sense. Couldn't do that either, and put me down "what are you gonna do when I'm not here?". Ma'am you are a driving instructor, people don't teach themselves to drive, if you can't explain to someone how to correct their driving, you are in the wrong field. I spent the rest of the lesson just "trying" and hoping to get it right, without any guidance or feedback. And that was just the lesson itself. She rescheduled our lesson a half hour later an hour before, and then she parked somewhere else than the meeting spot discussed and turned her phone off. Told me to wait by a sign that didn't exist. I walked around for 20 minutes until I found her. She couldn't point out the "sign" when I found her. We ended up starting 1 hour after our start time. When we ended the lesson I asked to be dropped off by a BART station. She said we were close to one. It was a 30 min walk from one. Horrible horrible experience. TLDR: Gives zero instruction and then yells, talks down and blames students for her inability to teach or explain a damn thing. Save your money and go literally anywhere else.

A Five-Star Experience: Anita is the Absolute Best!…read more Anita is truly exceptional, and thanks to her expert instruction, my daughter passed her driving test on the very first try! The confidence, experience, and trust that Anita imparted were the foundation of this success. My daughter felt completely at ease with her, which is invaluable during such a high-pressure learning experience. As an outstanding business professional, Anita sets clear rules and expectations for passing the test, and she sticks to them. We greatly appreciated her straightforward, knowledgeable approach and were relieved that she provided a reliable car for the official examination. Her systematic way of teaching is a proven method for success. What sets Anita apart is her wonderfully cheerful personality and sense of humor. While waiting for my daughter at the DMV parking lot, I managed to get my own car stuck on the side curb! Anita immediately came over, all smiles, and not only helped assess the situation but also gave me--the father--a piece of advice on how to avoid curbs next time. This unexpected moment drew a laugh from both of us. Her ability to pivot from the focused intensity of training my daughter to sharing a lighthearted, helpful moment with me demonstrated her tireless good spirit and dedication. Thank you, Anita, for the success, the confidence, and the unexpected moment of humor! Highly, highly recommend. Mahmoud M.11/20/2025
