TY AGAIN HARBOR TRUCK SCHOOL! read more

Got my Class A on the first Test ! This school is straight to the point, just enough hours to get your license and not waste time or money. I completed the program doing 2 days per week, 2 hour sessions in just about 3 months. The biggest thing is to study your pre-trip inspection . If you take it serious, the instructor will tell you " I did not need all that information, idk what they're teaching u at that school" lol .. Memo made sure I was prepared beyond expectations. And Sergio was real easy going . If you need someone to set the standard and make sure u pass spend some time with Memo and once u got it down and want some confidence, spend some time with Sergio. Great instructors great price , great schedule . Thank you guys - Logan read more

Thank you to Harbor Trucking School, Martin, and Memo for assisting me to obtain my Class B CDL. Prior to starting school I had never even stepped foot into a truck and today I passed first try at the Gardena DMV. I took a one on one course and both Martin and Memo taught me how to safely operate a truck and a month in a half later I am a licensed commercial driver. Come to Harbor Trucking School if you want to learn one on one and not in a big class sharing just one truck. Thank you Martin and Memo. read more

Best CDL school in Southern California!!! No need to look anywhere else but here if your looking to get your CDL. Most schools have group training and don't even teach you pre-trip, here you get 1-on-1 training every session for 2 hours. Your not sharing a truck with 10 other people in crappy equipment either. Thanks to the team at Harbor Trucking I passed my test first try with complete confidence. Normally I don't do well under pressure but this school made it easy. It worked around my 9-5 work schedule, they provide you videos for pre-trip inspections, and make sure you actually memorize every part of the process such as air brakes, in cab inspection, and coupling. Honestly, don't waste your money anywhere else. Before i went here I was looking up yelp reviews everywhere, this is the best bang for your buck. Thank you Harbor Trucking for getting me on track to my new CDL career! read more

Very patient and very assuring that everything would come together and it did! Just passed my road test and skills yesterday thanks to everyone at Harbor trucking. They all have a real cool vibe and truly care that you pass. If you're looking for a trucking school look no further. This is the one.

He spent a lot of time training me. Love this guy to death. Martin is super cool. Just thank you to everyone. I truly appreciate you read more

I chose Harbor Trucking School after researching and visiting all of the other schools in the area. The pricing caught my eye, and the 1 on 1 training that I saw when visiting is what made me enroll on the spot. I'm extremely glad I chose Harbor since they worked around my schedule and my DMV appointment. Ysidro was great at teaching the basics and getting me comfortable backing the trailer. Guillermo really hits all the details on the pre-trip inspection and helped me with alley dock and parallel tips. Luis, the owner, really came through with showing me how to fix errors that can happen during the maneuvers and how to fix them. Street driving was a breeze after Luis and Guillermo pointed out all of my errors so I was ready for my test at the DMV. I took my test today and passed, and now have my CDL thanks to Harbor Trucking School! Also the 6-speed truck for the test is awesome, no double-clutching needed. read more

At first when I attended this trucking school it seemed too overwhelming with everything you gotta learn and memorize. Believe it or not I was being doubtful on myself that I wouldn't be able to pass the actual exam and maybe this just wasn't for me. I was already thinking of quitting on my 2nd day. My family told me stick to it and try harder. The pressure felt too much. Thankfully I tried my best and was paying attention to every detail and was willing to learn. Shout out to Martine, he turned out to be down to earth chill. Shout out to Ariel for being a cool and patient instructor. He really helped give me that extra push. Shout out to Don Memo for teaching me to drive stick shift and how to drive on the road. This school is well worth every penny. Just do everything you can on your part and be willing to learn and don't make the same mistake twice. Passed on my first try today. read more

I dunno why I am giving this review now, but I guess its because I referred a friend to go to this trucking school recently. I actually went to this trucking school back in 2010 with a buddy and I am actually glad this place is still open and teaching. Judging from the pictures, this place looks exactly the same as 10 years ago. :D For those wanting to attend this school: 1. When you go to the area, since its in an ACTUAL container yard, the roads that lead to this place are not the best (because trucks go in and out), meaning that you're going to have to drive really slow so you don't ruin the alignment or tires of your car. 2. My teacher back then was Misael, a really cool Hispanic Jew. My teacher back then let me work on my weaknesses instead of having to work on what he wanted. 3. What I really like about the training area is there are real truckers going in and out of this yard with real containers. This means you are baptized by fire and will actually have to move out of the way of other truck drivers. There's no cones to park and you park inbetween containers with only mere inches to spare on each side, which leads me to this point.... 4. Mainly practice BACKING UP. Anyone can drive forward. Currently I work in logistics and some truck drivers that come to my warehouse don't even know how to back up properly onto our dock doors. One of the tests at the DMV is backing into a specific area of cones. I believe during my test that once you started backing up on your test, you can't stop, adjust, move forward and try again. It has to be one smooth motion even if you are going really slow. They give you a certain number of chances, and by stopping and moving forward, you have to restart and burn one of your chances. Take most of your time learning how to back in-between containers when you are here. Do it slow and do it often. read more

Just passed my CDL Test on my first try at the DMV today. This is my first time in a commercial truck and my first time ever driving manual/stick shift. Can't recommend a better trucking school than Harbor because they go into depth with all of the inspections and maneuvers. Plus, they teach you how to drive a manual truck. ALL classes are one-on-one compared to some schools. Shout out to my team which was Ariel, Martin, and Guillermo who helped me through the process. They work with your schedule and they actually care about you passing your test. Sure - they only have manual trucks but that's better because then you wouldn't have restrictions on your license. Man, just sign up. That's all I can say. read more

Highly recommend Harbor Trucking School if your looking to get your CDL. Great management and instructors!! Reliable prices and they work with your schedule. Stop wasting your time and call now and get your CDL. THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME GET MY CLASS A LICENSE!!! read more

Great school! Highly recommend them. Just passed my DMV test last Friday for my Class A CDL on the first try. If you want one on one personalized 10 week training with solid instructors this is worth it. I researched other schools in LA and none in the area had the same personalized training but were priced similarly. Luis and Martin customize your classes around your work schedule which was great. I never drove a manual car or truck prior to this but with the help of Guillermo, Isidro, and Martin's different teaching styles they all provided their own techniques and pointers that were extremely helpful in operating the manual clutch both on the road and for the DMV skills portion of the test. The trucks were all in good condition and maintained. They prepared me for the entire DMV test which includes, outside truck inspection, truck cab inspection, Air break systems inspections, basic control skills test, and the DMV road test. The Reverse Straight & Off-Set Backing skills were most challenging for me early on in the course but by week 4 Guillermo, Martin and Isidro had me ready. They're passionate about teaching and push you to be ready. Thanks again guys. read more

In my opinion I think one on one training is a lot better than being taught as a group. I looked up maybe 3-4 other trucking schools before considering this one, I'm definitely glad I chose this one. 30 hours for 2 grand ? Invest into yourself and don't be scared ! I just took my test at the Gardena DMV yesterday and passed first try ! I have a buddy from work who currently goes to a school in Gardena and is taught as a group, the dude hates it lol. No drive time, nothing. Right here at harbor, i got all the tools I needed and then some. Luis the owner even comes out of his office to teach you! I'd recommend this school to anyone, a lot of guys/girls pass their CDL test at the DMV coming out of this school. Thanks Harbor !! read more

When I first was recommended to this school was from a co-worker that had just got his CDL A and I had been wanting to get the same license. I had went to a different school but it wasn't considerate with my time and schedule and Harbor Trucking School was very good with what I had during the time I was attending there. It is very good to know these instructors because they were very attentive and want you to pass not just for the money. They will work with you and time is essence. If you really want your Class A license then you need to check this school out. There has been 5 people that I've known that has gotten their license here and all have good things to say about this school. read more

Best trucking school out there hands down . I passed my DMV test the 1st time . Huge thanks to all the instructors. I couldn't have done it with out you guys ! read more

Great truck driving school, I highly recommend! They will set you up for success,l! They've been in the business for awhile and all the instructors are knowledgeable. Competitive pricing and they're there to help not just to make money. As long as you study and practice well, you'll pass the tests the first time around. They're very flexible with your schedule as well and do their best to work accommodate you. Thank you Luis, Guillermo, Ariel, and Martin! I couldn't have done it without you guys! Save the time and money and give this place a call/try, you won't regret it! read more

Great school the instructors are very informative and show you exactly what you need to know to pass the one on one experience you get doesn't compare to sitting a class with others learning at a different pace. read more

Harbor trucking is a great school for anyone trying to get there CDL. I passed on my first try thank to the knowledgeable instructors this school has. They take the time to make sure you are fully confident and knowledgeable about all of the things necessary to pass it the test. With affordable prices this is the best school around and I would recommend it to anyone trying to get there CDL! read more

HANDS DOWN, the absolute best trucking school in Southern California. There's no other school that compares. Harbor is the only school that offers a ONE on ONE program, so there's no other students to take away from your training. Martin is great about working with your schedule. I worked full time 5 days a week 12 hour shifts and Martin made it happen. You must show up with your CDL permit first, so study and take the DMV written tests before you attend training. You will get 2 hours each training day of seat time in the cone exercises, road time and pre-trip inspection training with manual transmission (No Automatics, so no restrictions on your license) with not another student in sight, just YOU. You will be so prepared for the DMV test it's not even funny. Not only does Harbor teach you how to pass the DMV skills test, but they teach you how to be a great driver and you will appear to be an experienced driver to any employer. I took my HAZMAT, Tanker, Doubles/Triples tests when I got my permit before attending Harbor. Shout out to Martin, Guillermo and Luis for everything. They are awesome teachers, THE BEST. Don't waste your time and money at any other school with 20 students in a class waiting to get seat time. You might get 5 or 10 minutes in the drivers seat with these other schools because of so many students in each class instead of 2 hours straight in the seat with Harbor. Go with Harbor's 40 hour ONE on ONE program (One Student, One Instructor). It's a guaranteed Class A commercial license. read more

Great school one on one time they patient you will learn what you need to learn and pass first time

Today I just passed my CDL Class A on my first try all thanks to Harbor trucking School. I came to this school not knowing anything about a commercial vehicle and it's components under the hood or stick shift. After taking their 40 hr course I feel confident giving ANY pre inspection trip to anyone and what to look out for if something does fail. I also learned how to drive stick shift which was smooth especially when they have 6 gears instead of the 10 gears other schools have. The instructors here really do care about you and know their STUFF. They give you reference points/tricks to help you perform a lot of the maneuvers that you will need to do at the DMV. THESE GUYS know the in's and out's of passing the tests. They provide you a FULL packet of all the pre inspections, brake tests and even video's straight to your phone so you can just listen to them explain things while your at work.(That's what I did at my full time job) I can't thank these guys enough, they helped me open a new door to making money forever. It all starts with a phone call and little bit of investing in yourself to make Truck driving money that will change your life. Big shout out to Martin, Ari,Memo and Luis. These guys have helped me the entire way read more
