Western Truck School

"Don't go to this school. EVEN if you're going to renew your cdl. The admin is poorly run. The first week is nothing but watching videos. It's completely a waste of time.The trucks are always in need of repairs and are not available for driving. The instructors are former drivers and are not real teachers. They will take your money and will not help if you are struggling to pass certain parts of the training. A refund will not happen. They ban a lot of students for no reason. So they can keep your money. It's a very shady program and should be shut down.///////////////////////////////////// I see that you said that I left. When I was actually not allowed to continue training because Loki told me that I was dropped and not able to return to the school.The reason was not even explained to me and couldn't give me or to my va counselor a reason why I was not allowed to continue training and not to return. I didn't do anything to anyone. I didn't disrespect anyone or violence to anyone. I didn't steal anything or call anyone to report anything. I don't know what I did. The only person that I know that lied about me was George told Loki that I was trying to convince him to let me drive on the road.When I told him that I was driving the day before with another instructor. I was not trying to pull one over on him. I got my cdl before from your school when it was in Spring Valley without any problems. As of recently, some of the staff at your school are not real teachers and are just grumpy truck drivers with a chip on their shoulders.Loki lied to me about why I needed to leave the school. She said that it was the VA doing, but it wasn't. It was her doing. She couldn't even tell me the truth. It was her who told my va counselor that I couldn't return and had to leave the school immediately. There was no warning. I am just being myself, and they were judging me. I was treated unfairly. They were not nice or friendly, but I continued to school, but I could tell that they did not like me for whatever reason. I overheard staff talking about other past students who were banned often. They were bragging about it. I didn't even know that your school did that."

"This truck school is amazing. All the instructors were very nice and shared a lot of knowledge with me and I was able to pass my class B. I would highly recommend anybody wanting to get a class A or B to come to the school."

"The school is such a disappointment. They love to take ur money.They blacklist students sometimes for no reason. So they don't have to pay back the money.my teacher wouldn't even do his job and would sleep while I was doing my parking skills. George was his name.they don't have the trucks in working order to train on.The training yard is disgusting no running water and it's in the middle of nowhere.Trash is everywhere.A lovely portable bathroom.I was yelled at for my mistakes. Loki was the admin who looks like a biker who acts like a child and is loud during class You can hear her Laughing And watching YouTube videos all day. Highly recommen Not to Western truck school. I don't even know how they are even in operation as a school. Many people have to re try try to pass because they don't even give you the correct training hours they say they do."

"After reading and researching truck driving schools I decided to go with Western Truck Driving. Loki with Admissions and Career Services was very helpful getting me signed up for the course and answered all my questions leading up to starting the program. They have new instructors, Dakarai, George, and Jim, who have worked in the industry for 20-30+ years each. They assessed how well I drove behind the wheel at the beginning and instructed me as needed. They gave me pointers/suggestions to help master my skills. By the time I completed the course I was very competent maneuvering a truck and trailer through the docking skills and road tests that's required to pass the DMV Class A examination. I now have my CDL license and now applying for work! Thank you Western Truck School for preparing me for the trucking industry!"

"I sign up for 160 hours training hours which is at least 5 hours every day, but in reality they give me 30 minutes only to drive. Also at the 30 minutes there are students doesn’t pass the driving test, so they came and practicing in my truck at my time the time I paid for it. I give them chance for three days, but they still kept did it with me, so I decided to took my money back. Update: MICHELLE great awesome person she gives me my money backwith out the $250 for class registration. Instructors Karl great guy. The office saying something way different at the yard Recommendation: DO NOT SIGN UP WITH WESTERN TRUCK SCHOOL SAN DIEGO LOCATION OFFICE YOU GOING TO WASTE YOUR TIME. Finally: THANK YOU for taking $250 for nothing you guys Lied to me and broke the contract with me"
