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".

A heartfelt thank you to Jeff McCort and Namita M. for their patience, professionalism, and outstanding instruction.

He is a brand new driver having only driven a few times and the car is unfamiliar. The instructor kept saying "what are you doing??" instead of offering concrete specific instructions. She made my son incredibly nervous. She asked him multiple times to speEd up beyond his comfort level. I asked him did he learn anything and he said no. This was a very expensive signature for his permit to make it legal. I don't recommend this agency.

First, family members tried to teach me and that wasn't the most helpful unfortunately because there really isn't anything like getting practice behind the wheel with a professional. Then, I went through another driving school in the bay and I did not receive merely as much help. Finally, I took a lesson with ADS, instructor Elton and he was a very calm, helpful, professional that gave me all the skills prior to the behind the wheel test. He's someone who has helped a wide range of people pass, he exposed me to a very similar simulation to the exam, and explained my errors with practice tests to give me a feel for the actual exam. Truly, my moneys worth! After one try at the DMV, I passed!

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.
