Camino Real Truck Driving School exceeded my expectations in every aspect. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The instructors at this school are nothing short of exceptional. They not only possess an extensive wealth of knowledge about the trucking industry but also demonstrate remarkable patience that is truly commendable. One of the standout features of Camino Real Truck Driving School is the dedication of their instructors. They take the time to ensure that every student, regardless of their prior experience, is given the opportunity to excel. As a novice in the world of truck driving, I was initially overwhelmed, but the instructors guided me with a level of patience that I hadn’t encountered before. They provided step-by-step explanations for every aspect of the training, from pre-trip inspections to maneuvering and road safety. It was clear that they genuinely cared about my progress and success. The knowledge imparted by the instructors was not only comprehensive but also practical. They combined classroom instruction with hands-on training, which gave me a well-rounded understanding of the industry. The instructors didn’t just teach the basics; they delved into the intricacies of truck driving, safety regulations, and industry best practices. This in-depth knowledge was invaluable, as it prepared me not only for the CDL exam but also for a successful career in the trucking industry. The instructors at Camino Real Truck Driving School also emphasized safety as a top priority. They instilled in me a profound understanding of the importance of safe driving practices. This focus on safety was not limited to theoretical lessons; it was integrated into every aspect of the training, from practical demonstrations to behind-the-wheel experience. This emphasis on safety set the foundation for me to become a responsible and conscientious truck driver. Furthermore, the school’s commitment to the success of its students is remarkable. They offered flexible schedules, allowing me to balance my training with other responsibilities. The instructors were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that I was well-prepared for the CDL exam and, more importantly, for a successful career in truck driving. In conclusion, Camino Real Truck Driving School is a gem in the world of truck driver training. The instructors are not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly patient, making the learning experience enjoyable and effective. Their dedication to safety and the success of their students is truly commendable. Thanks to the knowledge and guidance I received at this school, I feel confident and prepared to embark on a fulfilling career in the trucking industry. If you’re looking for a truck driving school that goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend Camino Real Truck Driving School. Also thank you to Vanessa very prompt and professional . ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thanks Alejandro Gallegos

I've obtained my class A CDL through this school on 08/07/23 I got to say Camino Real has a pretty good thing going on. It covers pretty much all the things you'll have to do at the DMV. The "entry fee" you can call it is a bit pricey but is I'd say average for a CDL school in LA county. The way the whole course works is starting by choosing whether you want to do automatic or stick shift. I chose stick shift despite never having driven a manual and it worked out. Though I do believe you can change it later. They then give you study materials to obtain your CDL permit which was mostly just memorizing DMV questions. They teach the pre trip inspection through videos that you watch on your own. Quality of said videos can be poor but they do work. Dividing it into sections so you can focus on one at a time. There are 4 trucks you practice the inspection on, 3 manuals, one automatic. One of the manuals doesn't even go to the DMV as it looked as if it hasn't had repairs in 3 decades, so you're in a way reduced to 2 manuals, 1 automatic. Depending on how many students there are you may need to take turns when at least practicing the in cab part of the pre trip, never was really a problem for me. After they pass you for the pre trip your next step will be the "yard skills", which is teaching you the basic controls skills test to the DMV's standards. What exactly do you do depends on what the DMV feels like testing on. Such as when I first started the DMV would test the "Ally Dock" maneuver. But when It came time for my test that was not being tested. The school does a pretty good job on keeping updated on what the DMV wants and doesn't want. There are 2 trucks for the yard skills, one auto, one manual (these are separate from the trucks used to practice the pretrip) . Both are very beat up, couple holes in the floor, ripped up seats, etc. But they do what you need them to do. After completing yard skills, you do road training. Its what you think it is. Go out on the road with an instructor and learn to drive them rigs. With empty trailers that are about 27 feet if that matters. After that you take your DMV test. In either Gardena or Fontana. My first attempt was Gardena, passing attempt was Fontana. When you pass, congrats, you're finished with the school. Now as for the staff, I'd say they're fine people. You have the office folks who are friendly and helpful. For instructors you have: 1. Johnny Johnny is the main guy in the yard, he's a bit intense, but don't take it to heart, he is there to help you. Respect him and you'll find he can be a cool fella. In my opinion, he is the most effective instructor, his intense and brash nature can translate into motivation if you take it correctly. 2. Roger Roger is a lot more "friendlier" who tries his best to understand you as he teaches. He's very patient and made me feel more at ease, he always tries to lighten your mood. Great fella, especially for the new comers 3. Gene Gene is the "by the books" instructor. He's somewhat utilitarian when it comes to teaching, which is great as it makes him effective at giving you an idea as to what you can expect from the DMV. Good guy in general. 4. Fernando One of the road trainers, Fernando is a very cool and effective teacher. Points out your mistakes and how to fix them, he talks good talk and is enjoyable to be around. 5. Nacho Also one of the road trainers, this guy is real chill, really gives off the "wise elder" vibe if you know what I mean, his English however isn't all that good, so if you have no command over Spanish like me, he isn't much talk like Fernando. Still a good fella Only complaints I have are the lack of shade in the yard, the lack of classroom instruction, and some of the trucks are literally knocking on death's door and at least should have some repairs or at most be replaced with new trucks.

School has one of the best instructors there in Johnny. He is straight up and real but will have you confident and ready for the dmv test. Just a solid human being. The other instructors are very nice and helpful. The trucks arent the best to practice in but makes it all the easier when you hop in the good truck for you're dmv test. They work with you at the school as far as schedule and time wise which is a plus!! Special shout out too Ms. Vanessa in the front office whom I was in there always bothering about something...sorry!!! She always accommodated me and helped me with my issue. 5 star just for that alone? THANKYOU TO ALL THE STAFF IN GENERAL. This school is like anything else in life. You get out what you put in. If you there not listening or doing what you want and socializing allday how do you expect too get a license. So when you out school shopping keep this hidden gem in mind. The skills you will aquire in a short time is next to none.
