San Jose Truck Driving School

Fantastic experience: Attended this institution from February 2023 to August 2023 when I graduated and was able to get my Class A license. I genuinely enjoyed my time here and would say that the instructors provided the necessary hands on experience. I recommend this school to all close friends and those interested in obtaining their Class A license.

Fantastic experience: Great instructor, got my permit was out of the school within 2 months of hard work. Instructors where very experienced and knowledgeable on every aspect of gettin me in and out and learning everything I needed for my test. Thank you to the San Jose trucking staff on to my next journey.

Fantastic experience: Pretty good school for the price, got my license in 6 weeks. Instructors are cool they’re not on you 24/7 so not 1 on 1 training but they help you when ur stuck on something, so it’s best to get along with the other students as well to help each other out. The faster you get everything down the faster you get out so it’s all on you ! It’s best to go permit ready so u can be out in the yard and won’t be stuck in the classroom.But overall, great school and affordable compared to other schools !

Fantastic experience: Great school, shout out to the instructors especially richie and Dave for the energy they bring to preparing us for the CDL dmv test.

Negative experience: Old student. Pros : cheapest around Cons: over crowded, learn by yourself pretty much.. my experience they lost my info saying there’s no record of me attending when I needed help to get a haz mat endorsement. There’s me getting credit for referring my cousin tho and what about the truck I used for the dmv test?management really has an attitude and doesn’t care. Arecele manager wanted to charge 1500 to get my endorsement. SMH she wanted me to pay for the whole class again but really didn’t really care and was lazy non chalant when they can find my info. Don’t go here unless you really need to.

Fantastic experience: Great school! Very professional and organized

Negative experience: I paid upfront. I thought that since I worked down the street and went to the night classes, I would have a good chance at getting my license quickly. Since I signed up for the night classes, I could take the study packet home. Unfortunately, the packet had many errors. It wasn't much a study guide, more of a test with the answers in the back. Some of the questions were even wrong. I struggled to study with it and did what anyone else would, I turned to YouTube. Thanks to that, I got my permit. Studying at the yard was... strange. There are so many broken-down trucks. I signed up during the winter season. They have only like 3 - 4 lights above their portable office. There is no pavement, only dirt. Pot holes everywhere. I had to learn the parts by myself with a flashlight. After finally learning the parts and the air brakes, I was told I could practice in the truck. I can drive stick, but this isn't like driving an old acura or Honda. The other student that was in the truck with me told me, "Yeah, you're not ready for this. You might as well give your time to someone else." I wish I was kidding, hearing that was disheartening. As far as the actual practice, this is where I got upset. Night classes were 3 nights a week from 6 pm - 9 pm. They only let you practice in the truck for 10 minutes. When there is a list of over 10 people, you don't get any time to learn. I kept a record of the time I actually practiced. For every 9 hours I was there, I only got 1 hour of practice. I was wasting time. The trucks are also really old and not really working. When I practiced the air brakes test, I couldn't use the emergency trailer brake because it didn't work. The Volvo truck had the panel with the emergency brake knobs literally sticking out. I'll never get my money back. I'll never get my time back. But what I can do is leave a review, so hopefully, someone reads it so they don't make the same mistake. Look around and do your research. Cheap doesn't mean better. If something seems a little too good to be true, it probably is. Have a blessed day.

Fantastic experience: Great School. You will get your license guaranteed. I am living proof. With some hard work and dedication the administration will make sure you get your license. The school prepares you for the ruggedness of the trucking industry. Very inexpensive. Definitely worth every penny. Highly recommended if you are dedicated and committed

Negative experience: If I can give a review than 1 star I would you register students more than your capacity and ask for more money. changing your name on Google is not going to improve your rating .

Fantastic experience: Best school in my opinion more than just a school felt like a family after a while rich, John and Dave are the best . They really help you out and push you thru it. If your think about joining the school don’t think to long . You won’t regret it

Fantastic experience: Great place to get your trucking license, everyone is committed to helping each other pass and the atmosphere is really good and family oriented.

Fantastic experience: Great price Offers both day and night lessons The lady in the front Candy is very helpful and the instructors were great Dave is a day time teacher who was super helpful Edger was awesome He’s a night teacher Spanish and female friendly fyi Would recommend to anyone who’s looking into getting their CDL

Negative experience: Malísima! Si quieren perder dinero este es el lugar apropiado.

Fantastic experience: I want to give a special thanks to the team over at San Jose Trucking School. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and gave me every bit of info that led me to passing my DMV Class A test. I recommend anyone looking to get their commercial driver's license to check them out. Shout out to the home team Richie, John, Dave, and Candy for all the help and motivation along the way. Thank you, Isaiah A

Fantastic experience: I really recommend

Fantastic experience: Great place. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: Great price, decent instructors, the equipment is a little bit old and clunky but it gets the job done.

Negative experience: Good school

Fantastic experience: This school is not for the weak in Heart! You have to do the work. Getting your Class A driver license is possible Herr. You have a team of instructors that will assist you with your driving skills daily. There are also updated Videos on YouTube that will help you successfully pass the pre trip and air Brake inspection and test! Richie, Candy, Salvadore, Dave and Carlos, are great staff members there to help push you to success.

Fantastic experience: My experience here at this school was great all the staff is so helpful all the instructors have a lot of experience the price of this school is the best around the area most of staff are bilingual (Spanish) and when they say Cdl guaranteed they mean that all in all this is a great school and I would suggest it to anyone who is trying to get there Cdl license thank you San Jose Trucking School

Negative experience: Really terrible Scholl. my worst life experience

Fantastic experience: I want to appreciate everyone in this school they were really helpful if u planning to get your license just be patient and they will help you a lot. Also I want to appreciate to Ritch and all the instructors that help me to get my license A thanks you Guy’s.

Negative experience: I don't recommend it, they just took my money, I had health problems and I couldn't follow up for a while and when I recovered, they just told me I would have to pay everything again, in short I lost around two thousand dollars and that's not right, they simply say that they can't do anything and when I ask to speak to a supervisor, nobody there answers you, I wasted my time and money, they are not honest.

Negative experience: The worst Trucking School ever ! Never ever try to come to this school!!! Can’t get the license in six months they make the students to leave the school after receiving the fee as they did with me and others that I know . their trucks are too old always break down can’t go BTW Practice and the behind the wheel test (BTW Test) is keep rescheduling.

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn. Staff is patient, nice friendly and help you all the time. The Instructure are amazing and care about your learning. Thank you for everything

Fantastic experience: I went to San Jose truck driving school to get my license A CDL it was at great experience instructors ware excellent Richard, David , and Rogelio really help me a lot and Candy office manager was great helping me with anything i need it to have all my paperwork ready and my driving time and appointment i really recommended this school

Fantastic experience: I studied at this school, I am very glad that I studied at this school, a good price for education and a payment system. good and professional instructors, full preparation for the exam, the atmosphere at the school is very homely, thank you very much for your work, I am very glad that I chose you, thank you all very much!!!!

Negative experience: Don't west your money & time. I was a formal student, the place is so dirty & yards are small they have old trucks. If you go to this school you learn none. There is a student for 6 month they still don't have license. Please save your money & time.

Fantastic experience: Muy buena escuela, muy buenos instructores, tienen mucha paciencia todos en general t ayudan y te dan buena orientación desde el principio q haces el contrato ya t dan una idea de lo q trata la escuela en lo personal muy buena escuela solo me tomo 5 meses agarrar mi licencia...

Fantastic experience: This school is excellent if you are the type of person that knows how to utilize your time wisely. You have to be a social person if you wish to achieve your goals in a timely manner at this school. Yes there are limited number of trucks & yard space but it's important to make the most of every minute you spend at the school. The yard space is used to master 4 different concepts which are all equally important. Do not spend your time sitting and waiting between rotations for your turn on the skills.. Instead, grab a partner and take turns doing the walk-around, in-cab, and air brakes inspections. Repitition is the key to cementing these concepts in your brain. As long as you are determined to get your Class A CDL it's only a matter of time before you do. The instructors there at the time of this posting (holidays 2021) are the best, don't shy away from asking for help. Candy, the boss lady in the office, is very helpful.

Fantastic experience: I was a student and later became an instructor i had the best experience at this place. I obtained tons of knowledge and made lots of friends.

Fantastic experience: Amazing school, amazing instructors. Any time I had any questions, the instructors helped me out and told me what I needed to hear. The sales manager, Candy, was extremely helpful in scheduling drive time and my dmv appointment. Plenty of time to master the skills and the driving portion of the exam. Got my drivers license in 2 months. As long as you put in the work and time, you will succeed here. Highly recommend the San Jose Truck Driving School. I will add if your starting the school without a CDL Permit. I had great success with "CDL Written Test Prep" in the app store. I spent a total of 8 hours studying and was able to get my Permit with ALL endorsements on the first try. For the Yard education. for the 2 months i was their. I spent a Average of 8 hours a week on the yard. I out of the school I had spent about 20 hours going over the walk around and air brake tests on a study worksheet they provided. Going forward getting your CDL will take longer then 2 months due to the new state law of having 15 hours behind the wheel time before you can test. I had a total of 4 hours and was able to pass no issue. But I WILL stress this, they wont hold your hand. it is on you to use the tools they provide. The instructors are their to help you polish your knowledge and help you from their.

Fantastic experience: Amazing school, amazing instructors. Any time I had any questions, the instructors helped me out and told me what I needed to hear.

Got my drivers license in 3 months. As long as you put in the work and time, you will succeed here. Highly recommend the San Jose Truck Driving School.

Negative experience: 浪费时间

Fantastic experience: It’s only takes me two months to get my license. This school provide trucks for you to practice freely. I believe if you set your mind to it then you can do it. It can be done guys. Look for a girl name Candy. She is very nice and friendly. She will help you if you are there to learn and make this your career.

Negative experience: La peor escuela que tenido tube que pagar otra escuela, porque ellos no les importa tu aprendizaje solamente les importa el dinero estuve por 3 meses y nunca avanze nada, la única escuela que me ayudo fue coast to coast trucking school en 4 semanas termine mi curso con ellos

Negative experience: I checked out this school and i see instructer was rude and careless but they hungery for money how come you teach someone when you're not welling to do so very very dust area wooow

Negative experience: My worst decision is this school. 1. Instructors are never teach even you ask question they do not answer or help you they just wait their lunch time. 2. Trucks are not functional you will spend 30 minut to put in reverse. 3. Too many students on per truck you will wait 2 hours to get your turn and 5-10 minut practice. 4 dirt road all yard you will breath dust all day. 5. Not enough space to for practice. For those reason I cancelled this school before waste my more

Negative experience: Total waste of money. They are not gonna teach you. Not gonna get you license i have to go to different school after giving them full money. They are not gonna make your dmv appointment. They are rude also i have proof for there rudeness.

Fantastic experience: This school is great, they are very flexible with the schedule, very affordable, and the instructors are great, they give everything you need to succeed, it is what you make of it. I got my licence in two months, at the first try on the dmv, totally recomended

Fantastic experience: In my opinion San jose truck driving school is a great school! The only problem was due to DMV not scheduling appointments due to covid. I went to the DMV to confirm this myself. I myself was upset i couldnt get an appointment but like i said it was DMV not the school,I am happy with my decision of attending this school. I like that they have two trucks to drive on the road.i got my license in only 6 weeks,they have a big yard,bigger than any other school i visted before deciding to enroll,students and staff are friendly,Thank you staff and instructors for helping me every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service Aracely the office girl was very helpful i did have to wait for my dmv appointment but that was just due to Covid .I was ready for my driving test but the stupid dmv kept pushing back the appointment . Over excellent experience with this school .I got my license now and working full time thanks guys life changer

Negative experience: Trucks are super old and broken down and you pretty much have to either learn on your own or from other students. Do not waste your time or money on this place, completely not worth it.

Negative experience: This school is not worth my money or my time! My time more because they never say what they mention at the beginning and all they want is your money but they do not invest time in you and they can careless. All the trucks are broken down and not in good conditions. Everyone waits in turns to start practicing driving and there is no instructor who teaches you, you learn by other classmates instead of the actual instructor. THEY CANCEL DMV Appointments and they never notify us/ classmates on a timely manner. NOT PROFESSIONAL at all! Definitely do not recommend this school.

Negative experience: Bad service, they didn’t let you drive enough in the street , there is a lot of students and few trucks to drive so you need to wait 2 hours to have turn on the skill training the teacher didn’t teach us the skills just the students teach each other

Negative experience: I don't recommend this school. Don't waist your time and money especially time. They continue to accept new students and if you plan on staying all day you only get to practice 4 to 5 times due to only having 2 trucks. The trucks always have complications in fact the truck that one tests on the DMV is not in great conditions. This school has gained bad reputation at the DMV.

Fantastic experience: Very happy to become part of San Jose Trucking School,Great school,They teach you everything you got to know. I highly recommend this trucking school for those who are trying to get there Class A.

Negative experience: Please don’t go to this school I deposit $600 I took 3 weeks to take care some stuff they wanted me to pay again this a ripped of warning No vallan a esta escuela me robaron $600 nome los dieron para atrás di un depósito No degaria este comentario si nome abrían robado

Negative experience: Only call me , they need the next payment Only, after that they don't care , even they never answer the phone if they already know you, I have ever seen my life such greedy company been. I don't recommend you join this school rather than speak Spanish.

Fantastic experience: Happy to be part of San Jose trucking school,great school,they give you what you need to succeed one must put the time and effort into completing the program,If your thinking of becoming a truck driver I recommend you visit this school.

Fantastic experience: Great school ! I love the environment. Students are nice, friendly , supportive and team players. Instructors are nice and friendly as well they explain everything very profoundly they give good tips and advice. I also liked that the school is at your own pace so you don’t have to worry about rushing through it,Girls in the office are also great,the school gives you everything you need to succeed,it took me 3 months to get my license,I’m happy I chose San Jose truck driving school help me achieve my goal of becoming a truck driver! Thank you San Jose trucking School.

Fantastic experience: I attended San Jose Trucking graduated in 7 weeks and shortly after I got a job. Great school nice people. I couldn't have done it without their help. Thank you to everyone from the instructors to the ladies in the office. Will surely be recommending to my friends and family. Keep on Truckin'

Negative experience: Beware Depending on how the office personnel feel u will be charged 1800-2500 for tuition u will also be charged 90.00 a pop for bogus random drug test during the time u attend. 90 percent of students have been struggling There about a year or more many students here fail the dmv test multiple times than this place will charge you to make faster dmv appointments at 80 dollars an appointment.all students attending this place are un happy due random fees and office personal Picking on students I urge you to stop by an speak with students and ask how this place operates you will definitely not give this place your hard earned money.

Negative experience: The worst school I have ever been .

Fantastic experience: Good school, friendly people

Fantastic experience: Girls in the office are great. Self pace was good for me. If you practice your skills there you will get your CDL no problem.

Fantastic experience: အရမ္းေကာင္းတယ္

Fantastic experience: Happy that i picked this school to get my license,great instructors and the office ladies are very helpful,best decision coming here i did it all at my own pace.

Fantastic experience: Great school, got my license in 3 months attending Saturday's only! Flexible schedule, at my own pace,I higly reccomend San Jose trucking school, I would pick this school again! If you want the best forget the rest.

Fantastic experience: After visiting a few other schools looking to obtain my class A training I decided to attend San Jose trucking school for many reasons,one being the Girls in the office are very helpful,Priscilla took the time to answer all my questions,I didn't feel rushed,another reason was that one of the instructors took me out the yard to show me around and also answered a few more questions I had,I'm happy I picked This school to help me obtain my class A And happy to say I now have my Class A,I did it in under 2 months,they provide you with everything you need to learn but it's up to you to learn,if you put the time and effort you too can do it too!

Fantastic experience: thank you san jose truckin school for all your time and support i love it.

Fantastic experience: It took me like three months to get my Class A License Everything went very well . I;m working and soon to get a better Job , i recommend san jose trucking school to any body Anthony Salazar

Fantastic experience: I must insist , who ever left such a negative comment about san jose trucking school, i totally disagree ! First off , to be a truck driver you must have a lot of patience and show maturity not only to the school , but to the trucks as well. Thier trucks are not the newest and like everything , they do break down . But i've seen quick improvements and they do take big interest in thier students progress as well as in their truck's maintenance . Plus , their schedule is open for anyone to show up at any time available. Right off the bat they guided me through all the steps to get my class A with the soonest route possible . What i liked the most is that they worked with me and were very flexible .The school did an excellent job on making me feel like they wern't just interested in my money , but in my progress wich was very important to me. I've called other schools and felt very pressured with their salesmen. This is definately a people's school !
