The instructor is Ron, Nick and Robert and Alan the Super instructor really changed my life and demeanor on how to approach taking the CDL license. They will give you all the tools and knowledge that's just a booklet with a PDF. You have to spend the time here and be here for at least 6 to 8 hours to learn all the inspections. They have plenty of trucks and equipment and all the materials for this test. Just ask questions it'll be answer. Ron, very great informative, quiet but will answer every question mechanically and knowledgeable and he also will give you all the videos and knowledge you need for the test Nick Nick is the road guy Nick will make sure you get everything going and make sure you learn all the rules and regulations on the road Robert Robert is very great and very knowledgeable. He's like the iPhone of truck driving he knows all the details and knowledgeable of things and very appreciative Paul Paul is the owner. He's great. He's excellent very straightforward no sugaring and always straight to the point of getting you what you need all business when I mean all business he's all business not just about your money.

I would strongly advise parents to avoid this driving school, especially for teenagers and young women. During lessons, the instructor, Bassir, repeatedly touched my wife on her arms, shoulders, and hands when there was no safety concern or driving-related reason to do so. There was no dangerous situation that required physical intervention, and the behavior came across as overly familiar and inappropriate. We reported the behaviour to the owner, and he first acknowledged, but later said he only watched part of the video and says this is normal requirement for their driving school to touch people. A driving instructor should maintain professionalism and clear boundaries at all times. This experience made my wife extremely uncomfortable, and we would not recommend this school to others.

Like everyone else when you have decided to take the next step into chasing your dream career in…read moretrucking the search in CDL schools begins . 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 experience with Cities Driving School is the equivalent to that perfect hole-in-the-wall…read morerestaurant that you don't want to tell too many people about, because you are worried that business will become too good and they will be too busy. However, this review is for a driving school and not a restaurant! I can't hope to tell enough people! ***AS ALWAYS, LONG STORY SHORT, SKIP TO THE BOTTOMLINE*** Driving schools and driving instructors are not like a restaurant in that you hope that you don't ever need to go back to paying for their services. If you do, it's either because the instructor is no good, or because the student is struggling. Well, I just got back from two hours of training and I feel so great about what I learned today. I am never going to have to pay for a Class C training ever again! I called about a week ago to schedule a behind-the-wheel training and I rescheduled for this week. First of all, I am an experienced driver with a clean driving record, with no major accidents. Coming from L.A., I know what an angry/aggressive driver looks like, and how to drive defensively (will return to this in a moment). Why am I doing behind-the-wheel training? To learn how to operate a standard (manual/stick) transmission. We scheduled to meet at JLSquare, but I was running late, so Steven picked me up in front of a corner coffee shop along the way. He knew exactly where he was going and as soon as we got to a spot off Broadway where there was zero traffic, he pulled over, checked my current driver's license and we got out and switched seats. He had a sheet of handwritten notes already prepared and went through the basics of how to drive stick. I know, it's late for me to learn, but better late than never! Just a few minutes and we were off! Starting off, I didn't stall too many times, but as I got the hang of it, I started stalling more and more, until we got stalled at an intersection! !__! Bad news! But, Steven was very calm, very patient and knew how to relieve the anxiety and pressure of learning something new while actively doing it. Still, I was having a hard time, and ended up stalling again at a stop sign. I have a habit of checking my rear view too often and noticed when the guy behind us was following too close. He starts honking as I'm turning the engine over and pulls around us (in a one-lane road) and stops after the intersection, waits for us to get behind him, and gets out! He starts to yell about how I like playing games and comes up to my window. Neither of us really know what's going on and just stare at him as he's going off on us. The guy comes up to my window and punches the glass a couple times and storms off. Before he gets in, I yell, "Hey man, I'm just learning!" He speeds off. I got his plate number, but what good does that do? No harm, no foul. (But really this was an indisputable moment of legitimate assault). Needless to say, I was in disbelief that someone in the Bay would have an attitude like that and said, "What if I had a gun? Man, he's brave" Steven replied, "You know, if he hits you just a little bit, I would rather sue and make him pay big." We started making jokes and laughing about it and after this, somehow the tension is released and what he's been telling me the whole time just clicks. I can feel what brings the engine to stall, and I get what he means by "Hold! Be patient, man!" BOOM, and just like that (in the aftershock of the crazy guy) my brain understands and my body reacts and there's no more problem! No trouble at all! We even took it to the busier parts of downtown Oakland and the clustered mess by the lake. Steven does a really good job of relaxing you and convincing you not to worry about the other drivers around you, and just focus on your driving. We left it at a very good note and I feel confident to take to the streets on my own. ***BOTTOMLINE: If you need Class C behind-the-wheel driver's training, Cities is the place to call. No hassle, no bullshit. Just an experienced, relaxed and friendly instruction at a very affordable price -- cheaper than any other ones that I've found online. The catch? You won't ever need to go back as a return customer.***
