Universal Truck Driving School - Driving Schools Near Me - San Bernardino, California

Thank you! Class A COMPLETE! I am extremely grateful for everyone over at Universal Truck Driving School. The ladies there are the personification of professional! They are genuinely kind and always polite well informed and supportive of all their students. Patricia was the lady I spent most of my time discussing the specifics with and she was ON IT! She did everything in her power to help me get in and out, one & done testing! Trainers, Mario is THE MAN!!! Mario appears to always be in a good mood and ready to help the students out with as much as he possibly can. His positive attitude and encouraging words are contagious! I was excited every time we were able to work on tightening up my skills for the DMV exam. "Remember, It's not a beautiful contest! We just need to pass." SPOT ON!! Mario worked with me on a tight schedule sometimes as much as twice a day for multiple days & help build up my confidence and sharing pointer along the way to guide me in the right direction. Thank you again, I really appreciate you coming in early and remaining patient with me. Sincerely, thank you! Albert, covered for Mario when he had to handle some business and helped fill in the gaps. Gave many pointers regarding the parallel parking maneuver & alley docking. Coached me through it and provided a different perspective that helped me work out the timing I was having difficulty with. Albert, thanks bro! Albert (DMV) thank you! Helped me ease my nerves at the DMV. I was able to relax with the overall explanation given by Albert on what to expect and the tips on how being a people person might play into successful completion during the exam. DMV people are people too! lol... Collectively, they all make a great team at Universal Truck Driving School! I passed on the first attempt and DMV made me do A, B, C, & Coupling for pre-trip! After my nerves settled down, I got in the ZONE like it was just me & Mario cruising down Route 66! EZ-MONEY! Thank you all so very much! I will be sure to send all my drivers for training once I hire them. read more

Universal Truck Driving School - Multiple Yard Trucks - Driving Schools Near Me - San Bernardino, California

I was looking to acquire my class a commercial drivers license. I looked at many schools, most of them with bad reviews and the prices were nothing short than stuppedly high. My good friend recommended this class because it was the class he used to cross that accomplishment milestone. I looked into it and gave it a shot. Let me say I'm glad I did. The girls in the office were so cool down to earth and incredibly helpful. They worked with my schedule and made this happen. Also my instructor Julio was amazing his knowledge of his craft is well above average. When I passed my test . I felt like a little kid running to his dad to show him what he did at school lol. I quickly went back to brag. All I have to say look no further this is your school to go to. My name is Frank j and I approve this message lol.. read more

Universal Truck Driving School - Driving Schools Near Me - San Bernardino, California

If you go to this trucking school make sure to deal with Mario. Mario is a great worker and instructor. Mario is the only reason I think this place is still open. The other trainer is no good at all and does things his way not the right way. My first day at this schools was a total wast. The day I went to take my test at the DMV the person that was supposed to be at the DMV to use the truck and trailer was very rude and very lazy. The truck had a few issues. The truck felt way different then the ones you get trained in at the school. The two girls that work at the facility are nice when you don't complain or point out the issues you notice during your time with them. I was excited at first but very disappointed at the end. read more

Universal Truck Driving School - My certificate! - Driving Schools Near Me - San Bernardino, California

This is the real thing . They are very up front and honest about what they do . Veronica from the beggining was very informative and upfront how they run there school. It took two months to begin classes because they are so full , there classes are one on one and that's the reason for the delay start . They write down your schedule so your on top of your classes and they also guide you threw the dmv process. Mario is the primary instructor and he is very knowledgeable and very patient . Donald is the weekend instructer and he is very knowledgeable and passionate about driving. Albert is their newest and very good employee he is the one who takes the truck to the dmv and you do your test on, from the beggining he is very friendly and very very helpful with tips to pass your test . Thanks to all the staff, and many hours of studying I was able to pass all my permits endorsements and three driving test at the dmv on my very first try. The school provides your with all the nesscceary to pass it's all up to you to take the time and study. Other schools make you take more and more classes and are in group classes and more expensive with hidden fees not this one at all very honest family business read more

He made sure you understood every single part and was always open to help you even on your days off. All in all I had a great experience I passed at the DMV first time with the help of Universal trucking I would highly recommend coming here to get your class A read more

Universal trucking school changed my life. They gave me the tools and the knowledge to start a career. From the first time i called and talked to vero she lured me in with her sweet voice and great attitude and julio is the best instructor ever. He is firm and dosent sugar coat shit but he is fair and expirienced. But i owe it all to patricia, she is the heart and soul of this operation. She is sweet, tender and she really does care. Even when i had gave up on myself she never gave up on me and ecouraged me to pass the DMV exam. Thank you patricia i hope blessings rain on you every day for the rest of your life. So if youre thinking on getting your class A this is the place to go but remember that they are not gona hold your hand the whole way you have to work hard and do your part too. The only reason im giving them 5 stars is because i cant give them 10. read more

Universal Truck Driving School - Driving Schools Near Me - San Bernardino, California

We haven't registered yet. But after bad experience and compared with other truck delivering school we decide to choose this one. The lady working in front desk is very patient and nice. 30 hours training which is nice and valued compared with 20 hours. read more

Patricia and the crew at Universal were awesome! They went above and beyond! I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to get a CDL. Very friendly and helpful! read more

BEST SCHOOL EVER‼ went to another school before and it was terrible, had to change schools and picked universal. The instructors are so patient and nice and so easy to work with and learn from. I ended up passing my test after a couple weeks at universal. AMAZING SCHOOL‼‼ read more

This school was not worth it. Old ass trucks and the girls in the office are a bunch of idiots. My instructor was cool but barely spoke English and I don't speak Spanish. It didn't make sense why I'd have an instructor that mostly spoke Spanish ESPECIALLY since you can only do your test in English. Zero help with getting my permit/endorsements. Sucky school if you ask me and it's obvious their #1 goal is money. If I could go back I'd go to SPCDL. Even though I was not a student there and never paid them a penny they were exponentially more helpful especially when it came to getting info about the text/dmv processes. The weekend instructor (Oscar I think it is) is cool as fuck tho and very helpful. read more

Don't waste your time with this school. Long story short, their teachers play on their phones while you're training and the ladies in the office are nosy as hell. You don't train in the same truck that they bring to your test and their trucks are out dated. read more

Big thank you to the Universal Truck Driving School family Patricia, Verónica, Mario and Donald! Great and very helpful people who have nothing but great intentions for their students to pass. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is looking for a school to help them out with their CDL. read more

First of all. I want to thank Julio my instructor who showed me and taught me everything I needed to know. From start to finish showed me the basics. Straight line backing. Offsets right lane and left lane. Parallel parking. Alley docking. Air break inspection . Pre trip inspection. He shows you 2-3 times n then ur on ur own. Any mistakes u make he's there for u to correct them. Correct your mistakes. Do it right. I signed up in September. And passed on my first try at the dmv in november. Take advantage on ur practice time and get it down as quick as you can. It's not hard. It gets easy if you really put your effort in it. I knew nothing about driving a tractor trailer and now I have a CDL A with doubles and triples and tankers. Really study the air brakes inspection. You cannot get any errors at the dmv or you will fail . Know the in cab inspection. Study the pre trip inspections around the tractor and trailer. It's not hard. Don't wait to the last minute and practice practice practice. You don't want to fail at the dmv and then wait another 3-4 weeks to retake the test. Best part of this was when we were driving on the road . Jumping on the freeway and really testing your skills handling a commercial vehicle. Practice your turns and for the trailer not to hit or scrape the curve. It's an automatic fail at the dmv The ladies in the office were great. Had all the answers to my questions and very knowledgeable. Prices are reasonable and if u want I think you can make monthly payments. Overall my experience with this school. I can say I'm glad I chose it. I now have my license and it's open up doors for a new career and start making this money. Good luck read more

Universal Truck Driving school is a pretty awesome little gem in Upland Ca. Since my first phone call to Patricia and her Sister Veronica I felt welcomed and part of the family. These ladies welcomed me with open arms and truly care about helping to obtain your CDL. Upon my fist day and meeting Mario the schools down to earth cool instructor I just knew I was in good hands. These three individuals I can not thank enough they each provided me with information for me to be successful to get licensed. Providing insight and making sure I knew everything I needed to know to pass the DMV test. Universal gives you all the info to pass your written test, but it is up to you to do your part and study study study with the tools they provide you which are plentiful. Once you have gotten your permit they make sure to keep you on track to know the exact terminology the DMV is looking for to pass in cab air brakes and walk around tests. Mario was super helpful teaching me yard maneuvers and on the road test drive to make sure I was successful to pass my road test. He provided good feed back that I was able to take and put it to use and pass my DMV exam. I can not say thank you enough to these people they really helped me move to the next chapter in my journey in my career life. Again Thank you Mario, Patricia, and Veronica you all are awesome. read more

Besides knowing how to drive a manual, I didn't know a damn thing about driving a tractor trailer prior to attending the classes. So, before stepping foot in this place, I went ahead and called their office to get an idea of the process. I spoke to Patricia and she did a very good job at making sure that all of my questions and concerns were answered. She made the entire process easy from the beginning and was definitely a pleasure to speak to. Their flexibility with my schedule was second to none as I've had to make a few changes throughout my time there. The instructor, Julio, is very knowledgeable and more than willing to assist in any maneuver or technical aspect of the classes you are having a problem grasping. He's pretty laid back and straight to the point which is something I appreciated. Unless you're about to crash into something, you don't have to worry about getting yelled at while constantly making mistakes. Just follow the instructions and make sure to STUDY THE HANDOUT. As long as you do that, you'll do just fine. read more

Long story short: I PASSED. They do provide the tools you need to pass the test, the rest is up to you. You really have to work at it if you are having any trouble or any brushing up you need to do. There is a disconnect between the office staff to the trainer to the guy who you meet at the dmv. Follow the instructions given and allow yourself to make mistakes so you can correct them. Just memorize the part names and some functions and nail down the maneuvers and you'll pass. read more

If you're looking to obtain your Class A in a relaxed, comfortable, friendly environment this place is definitely for you. Obtaining your license shouldn't be stressful or make you feel uncomfortable and the instructor, Mario, is super friendly, patient and willing to help you not only learn the material but understand it fully. He's got your back if you're willing to put forth the effort and try your best. One on one teaching and learning definitely helps a lot!! Patricia in the office is super friendly and very helpful with everything especially the paperwork aspect of things. I can't say anything bad at all about Universal. I put forth the effort, spent my time behind the wheel and got my Class A soon after my completion of behind the wheel hours. I gave 5 stars because they didn't have 6. read more

I went there because it was recommended by a friend and sure enough I was abel to get my class A license. the staff is friendly and very helpful and flexible to your schedule.... highly recommend read more

If you are looking to get your CDL this is the place for you. Great school with great staff. Any question you have they can answer. They will help you with everything. They have time slots where only two students per class so you will have an instructor with you for most of the time. Best price for classes not as expensive compared to other schools. Highly recommend universal for your CDL. read more

I highly recommend Universal Truck Driving School! Excellent, and very professional customer service. They took their time, and answered all of the questions I had while enrolling. They were also able to work with my busy work schedule, while setting up my class schedule. The instructor I had was awesome as well. I definitely felt like I got all of the proper training I needed. Also, the price was very good compared to the competition! Thank you Universal for helping me get my license, and the tools I needed to be on my way to my new career! read more

I want to start of my saying thank you to Patricia, Veronica who working the office these women are very polite and patient with all the students they have and all the persons walking in that are full of questions... When I 1st looked into getting my class A license I was very skeptical that I would be able to accomplish such a big goal. I saw it as something I didn't think I could accomplish. Both because of my financial situation the whole covid 19 going on and I didn't have any type of experience... But on February 11th 2021 I am happy to say that I passed my CDL Class A driving text all the exams they gave me at the DMV on my 1st try. And its a great feeling... I want to start of by thanking Julio/Oscar my 1st Teachers for starting me off helping me do all my maneuvers, learning all the right angles , when to stop turning the wheel, helping learn all the air breaks and components.. Having the patience to teach not only me 2-4 hours a day but also having time for the other students. They always had time for me never left any question unanswered they had all the knowledge to answer any question I had.. Finally I would like to thank so much my last teacher Mario, such a great guy and excellent teacher, Mario showed me all the key points of the air break exam, the components from the air break there names what they do, how to check if they are working correctly or not... He showed me how to break down the truck by sections, he showed me what signs to look for when there is a problem with the truck.. He had so much patience when we went on the road, if I made a mistake he didn't yell at me or made me feel bad in anyway, he just pointed out how to correct my mistake. When I was in school with him he always asked me what I thought or what I wanted to work at, that is one of the best things a teacher that ask what you think you need, not what they want to teach you... Mario made sure and help me really learn all the pre trip exams for the out side. Quiz me over and over again until I got them all correctly I loved that because he made sure I was prepared for the DMV... I want to thank Universal Trucking School for all there time and guidance helping me get my CDL Class A license. read more

This is a great school, awesome staff and the instructor Mario was extremely helpful and learned so much from him I was able to pass my test the first time taking it.

I needed the cdl to keep my job and I did get my cdl thanks. read more
