Domestic Truck Driving School's location is new and the lot is so big and clean so plenty of space to maneuver those trucks :) Program cost between $3500 - $4000, and the range is for multiple referral sign-ups you get a discount. The class/training runs about 4 weeks for manual, and 3 weeks for automatic. They labelled their truck with numbers to assist the walk-around inspection to make learning easier; very good!

American Truck and Bus Driving School is an awesome place to get your commercial drivers license…read more It is centrally located in the East Bay making it easy to get to. The instructors, Erick and Reuben (as a backup) are competent and patient as they begin teaching you. As you progress they act as mentors as you review (and review and review) the DMV requirements for successfully passing the test. As you progress to the skills portion and then the "on street" driving portion, their patience and experience is where they really shine! It's as if your brothers are teaching you as you get more and more familiar with the routine. One more thing I want to mention is that you learn at your own pace. And when they think you're ready for the DMV, they take care of all the details. I did compare American with the other schools before I committed. I felt the most comfortable at American. ***Highly recommended ***

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.

I had no mechanical background and no experience driving trucks. I called a few CDL schools in the area, but some of them made it feel like they were more interested in getting my money than actually helping me learn. What I really wanted was a program with patient instructors who would take their time and make sure I truly understood what I was doing. That's exactly what I found at Aktar. The instructors were supportive, patient, and worked with me at my pace. They made sure I understood everything from pre-trip to maneuvering and road driving. I started the program in early January, took my CDL test at the end of February, and passed on my first attempt. I'm very grateful to the entire team at Aktar for their guidance and support throughout the process. If you're thinking about getting your CDL and want instructors who actually care about helping you succeed, I would definitely recommend Aktar.

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.

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".

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.
