We are now in our tenth year as a training organization for commercial trucks and buses, and we are proud to announce that we have rapidly become a leader in our field. This year promises continued success as we strengthen our focus on job placement and job retention as well as expand our curriculum to include a Safe Commercial Driving seminar.

Our training facilities are strategically located at the Port of Oakland/Oakland Army Base, which is in the hub of Oakland's trucking activity. Training at this location routinely exposes our students to the realities and opportunities of the trucking industry. The second location is in Stockton, CA supporting our central valley students. Our instructors have extensive, long-term commercial driving experience and are certified by the State of California.

Our staff is highly-skilled in the trucking trade and vocational education, and our entire team is committed to supporting our students in preparing to enter promising careers as Commercial Drivers. Additionally, we enjoy strong partnerships and collaboration with Bay Area funding agencies and job placement organizations.

Standard Class A
This is a very intense program with a huge emphasis on safe operations and accident prevention. When you complete this training program your overall driving habits will change and will greatly improve. After successfully graduating from this program your skills will exceed the requirements of many employers. You will be challenged and exposed as many real life situations as possible so the DMV drive will be the easiest drive that you will every experience. We teach 10-speed shifting, backing, safety driving and combination driving.
Super Session
Our best-value program. We will provide you with the necessary training to obtain both your Class A license and an unrestricted passenger endorsement on a 40 passenger vehicle. Get the experience of driving a full size bus instead of a mini version. This program will increase your employment options.

  I am incredibly pleased with my experience at this school

I attended the Stockton location and Woodrow Lucas was my instructor. I went from a "B" CDL to an "A" CDL in two weeks and learned much more than I expected. Woodrow is a great instructor! Calm, patient, can convey his message in multiple ways, just awesome! The equipment is in good repair and relevant to what one would drive in the "real world". I was very adequately prepared for the exam and successful on my first attempt, largely due to the quality instruction. I am slated to begin training at the company of my choice just two weeks after completing the program too! My class was "me" and the one on one instruction was invaluable. I couldn't expect a more positive experience for twice the price, but this was among the most affordable (and fastest) programs I found. Great program and thanks again Woodrow.
