From my very first phone call with Marcus, the professionalism and dedication really stood out. He was supportive and invested in the process from start to finish, and it was clear that he cared about helping his students succeed. The program itself is well organized and very student-focused. The school works hard to get graduates scheduled for their DMV tests as quickly as possible--often within about a week after graduation. The cost of the DOT physical, permit and two DMV drive tests is also included in the tuition, which is incredibly helpful and takes a lot of stress out of the process. They offer both morning and evening classes, which makes it much easier to fit training into different schedules. Students also get the opportunity to train in both manual and automatic trucks. The instructors were excellent. Bob and Zach were both friendly, professional, and encouraging. Bob brought many years of experience to the classroom, and the practical advice he shared is something I will carry with me throughout my driving career. Zach is a very effective teacher and takes a calm approach which allows the students to look to themselves for what to do next. This builds confidence which is vital for testing and driving in general. Overall, this was a great learning experience and I'm grateful for the guidance and support I received at Western Pacific Truck School.

I'm with a driving school who contacted Andy with this school asking him to verify a students hours…read morewith his school. He refused to verify the hours and was very belligerent. Cursing at me. He also told me his school doesn't verify students hours , and for me to have the student redo the hours she has already completed. After a back and forth with him he told me that the student needed more than 6 hours and don't call him again asking for verification. When a driving school doesn't verify student hours it not only cost the parents extra money but it is a direct violation. Stay away from this school because if this guy feels this way he is only in it for the money, he doesn't care if your child pass the driving test or not. BEWARE!!!

If it were possible to give negative stars for this business, I would! The owner of this truck…read moredriving "school" not only allegedly forges driving hours, but classroom hours, as well. The school has NO classroom on-site (so no classroom hours are possible, as required by DOT). However Kashmir Singh, the owner, allegedly forges these hours on the students records so they can go test for their CDL A license at the DMV. I know this both from my son's peers at school as well as my son's experience himself. They are completely overbooked and understaffed. Their website says you "go from paper to pavement" - yet there is no paper because there is no classroom training. Mr. Singh also sends students out with "instructors" who didn't have their license (Mr. Harry has his license now, but only had a permit three months ago while he was first taking students out on the road for their driving training). There are countless drivers now on the road that have their CDL A license - having been trained by an instructor with no license! I have never seen (nor smelled) anything like that commercial building the school is housed in. It is infested with rats, mice, cockroaches and a plethora of black mold. The walls are, literally, caving in from water damage/black mold. Drive up to the office. You can see Mr Singh's feet through the walls! You could probably put your hand right through the wall. They try to cover up this rat/mouse/cockroach/black mold smell with incense. It doesn't work. The smell is horrendous! The reason the commercial truck building has no classroom is because Mr. Singh houses out-of-state students in all of the rooms in the commercial building. On filthy, black mattresses! Not even any sheets! The kitchen and bathroom are so disgusting and smelly that all of the students spend their time at the school either sitting in their vehicles or sitting at an outdoor picnic table - rain or shine, waiting for their time behind the wheel. The shower looks like something you would see in a Freddy Kruger movie! The bathroom ceiling looks like it's going to cave in any minute. No toilet paper. Only a bidet! My son went out on the highway for some road training with an instructor, Mr. Ballhair, on January 2nd. They came to a railroad crossing with the crossing arms down. After they sat there for about 10 minutes, cars started driving around the arms and going through. The instructor, Mr. Ballhair, gotcha out of the truck and looked both ways down the track. He then got back in the truck and told my son to get out and hold the crossing arms up so he could drive under with the semi. My son refused. Mr. Ballhair tried for another 10 minutes to coerce my son to lift the crossing arms. Finally my son became too uncomfortable with Ballhair's demeanor, got out of the truck and called my husband to tell him what was happening. Then the crossing arms raised up, but Mr.. Ballhair just drove off, leaving my son stranded on the side of the road. When my husband went and picked up my son and took him back to the school, Mr. Ballhair denied he had tried to coerce my son to manually lift the crossing arms. We asked for the dash-cam video (because Mr. Singh said it was a matter of "he said, he said"), only to find out that Mr. Singh doesn't have dash-cams in the trucks. Also against DOT regulations. Mr. Singh is currently being investigated by the BBB, CalOSHA, DOT, Union Pacific, and a handful of other governmental agencies. I can post all of these emails from the varying agencies, should anyone be interested. If you have a child who is considering becoming a semi-truck driver, or if you are trying to decide on a truck driving school for yourself, I would highly suggest you avoid this fraudulent business altogether. The other truck driving schools don't charge you if you don't pass the CDL A test at the DMV. Kashmir Singh charges you $300 every time you fail. This guy is a complete scam-artist! BEWARE!

There was obvious lack of communication between the instructors and the higher ups. Everyone has a different thought process and learn at a different pace although the instructors didn't seem to get that through their head. I felt very small with the constant yelling in your face and in the walkie talkie. They expected students to learn and teach other but that did not work out as most of the students didn't know what they were doing and some were too cocky and was busy playing on their phone. I barely got to drive out in the street and did not get my full refresher before my test as they were down to 1 manual & 1 automatic truck with several new students. The only plus was the hour lunch breaks.
