Hi, I never had the chance to review this School. They stole $800 from me, claiming it was non-refundable after the fact. I was choosing to do payments before starting the schooling. This way I could strictly focus on the schooling and not worry about payments. I then chose to go to a cheaper school. Keep in mind, I never signed a contract. So I informed the school, they said that I would be able to receive the money I paid forth. I continued to harass them but never received my money. Yes, other reviews claim that they are a good school. But believe me, they will keep your money, messing you over. I have the forms that they gave, nowhere does it state my payments were not refundable. This is a messed up school that will rob you, please go to another school, don’t support a system that rob those of their hard earned money. Hope someone hears me on this.
I’m keeping it short, not a good school at all. I left after 4 days. There are a lot better school than this one.
Got my class A license with them in 2009 and they were fantastic instructors got my license with in a month period! Great school highly recommend it!
If I can rate this school I will give it -10 I would not suggest this school to anyone they do not Have enough vehicles for the students one thing I have to said the instructor name Jeremy is always threatening n intimidating students so students dont go n complain about his abuse of power n when students go to complain the owner Carla Galves, never believe the students when students go to office n complain about the instructor Jeremy of abusing his power also Jeremy the instructor always is unprofessional n constantly threatening n intimidating students with his Jail mentality. Dolphin trucking school is one of the worse trucking school, but besides that when you call the office they don’t never answer your call The bus for the class B is always broke down The owner will tell you one thing and then the office staff and his wife will do another it took me from February 2021 to February 2022 and I’m still waiting to go to the DMV for my skills test its The worst school ever if you’re trying to go to Trucking school please pick another one besides Dolphin. Beware because this school is a scam, and the oneer when she has lots of complaints from students about the instructor Jeremy,the owner Carla Galves don't believe the students. Also Jeremy the instructor cherry pick the student he want to train n pass the class. Also Jeremy the instructor Constantly lies on students attendance n hours , also Jeremy the instructor I quote "he said he can fail whoever he feels like failing on purpose " so you do not get your commercial class A license n the students the leave good reviews about the school are the students the Jeremy the instructor cherry pick . The two months I went to the school Jeremy the instructor had confrontation with students n intimidated students every single day. Also they fail you on purpose so you keep paying for your tuition. beware people this school is a scam Also the owner when she have too many complain from students she leave to vacation so she doesn't help fix students problem , also when your dmv date come the school never send on time to DMV students information so you have to reschedule . Very unprofessional
Just got my trucking license today so I had to give it a five stars. Here's a critical review. Alot of trucking schools are going to be overfilled with students and this school is no exception. When I came to dolphin Lincoln showed up for two weeks until we got an instructor named John. John was pretty awesome at teaching pretrip. From there you'll move onto maneuvers. You'll start with straight line back. Than Alley dock. Than offset both sides. And finally parallel on both sides. Carlos and John need a little bit more work with TEACHING this l, but Jeremy is the best. Unfortunately, after writing this post Jeremy will no longer be there. Philip is taking over, and PHILIP IS ONE OF THE BEST instructors to work with. He is really patient, encouraging, and knowledgeable. So, from manuevars you'll have to start driving on the road. The cool thing about this school is that they teach you how to drive stick shift if you don't know. I overheard someone tell me that this is the case in many other schools. Philip is one the best instructors to learn how to drive with, also Jeremy, but unfortunately Jeremy isn't going to be at the yard. The office has to deal with 4 classes and schedule student to DMV for all 4 classes and there only one DMV truck. So scheduling an appointment will be hard but they will work with you. So here is what I recommend you do. GO TO THE GARDENA DMV AT 7 AM CDTC DMV OF GARDENA. Look at all the trucking schools at the DMV. Look up the trucking schools and look at the reviews. REVIEWS ARE AN INDICATOR OF HOW WELL THE SCHOOL WILL BE. From there choose which school is right for you. Here's how to survive at dolphin ? if you end up choosing dolphin First, you need to study pretrip videos from the school. Ask your instructor if your allowed to record them doing pretrip and study the duck out of pretrip in the first two weeks. Than for every manuevar master it in two weeks time. This includes driving. You should pay for the two month program if your coming to this school to have more time to practice. All in all. Dolphin ? is where I got my class A so I cant hate on it. Just read the reviews and GO TO THE DMV to see your options. Good luck to all my future truck drivers ✌️.
Yo this is the best school in Los Angeles No doubt bout that I graduated with my class A license in 3 months that’s all And my instructor Philip cool cat and a very good instructor over 20 years of experience Tell them Mario yall
I recently completed my training course at Dolphin Trucking School. I took the test and received my CDL!. A great BIG thank you to Lorenzo, Ricardo and Lincoln for their time, knowledge and training which helped me in accomplishing one of my goals. These three instructors are very knowledgeable, took the time to answer any questions asked and focused on each one of us as needed. They provide the tools needed and now it’s up to me to apply them in my next endeavor. I appreciate the Dolphin Instructors (and students) for their support amongst each other which makes them one great team!. I highly recommend Dolphin Trucking School if you’re up to learning and ready to hit the ground running. THANK YOU Dolphin team!
Great experience with Dolphin Trucking. The instructors are knowledgeable and helpful. They go the extra mile! Shout out to Philip, Isidro, and Lincoln for helping me succeed. They do their part, the rest of the work is up to you. Work hard, use your time and access to practice as much as you can for the skills and drive test. I really enjoyed how all the students help eachother and encourage one another. I am very happy!
I got my CDL license with all the endorsements in February 2021. Passed the driving test from the first try. My experience at school was good. The instructors were , Mr. Herrera, Lawrence and occasionally Mr. Lincoln. They all were very patient and good.
THEY DELETE BAD REVIEWS STEAL MONEY . I had a really bad experience here after putting in $3,000 worth of cash invested in my last savings to support my family daughter wife I was really relying on getting my certification for trucking they supposedly passed me when I had no idea what I was doing and they never taught me anything the instructors themselves didn't even know what they were teaching and even then they yell scream or gave me issues and made me feel completely uncomfortable this business is family owned and including the structures and the facility and equipment is poorly taken care of your life is either in Jeopardy because the homeless activity where the training is at or because one of the trucks is going to shut down and blow up on you do not trust these people at all with your money save your money and go elsewhere I should have sued the company
This company is horrible they completely Rob your money and eventually will be sued within timing they still money and promise you things they can't even keep I couldn't believe how badly poorly the company was and how horrible the training was where they train you at is inside of a facility where homelessness are living at gang members that can support themselves and you'll probably catch a disease from them not to mention the horrible equipment and trucks they have all of them are old the instructors have no idea what they're talking about and are going based upon a book wish you could basically purchase online the hands-on experience is what's important and these people do not have it they just make it look like they do because they drive on Street all the time you're not going to learn nothing out of them other than the fact you should have listened to me in the first place do not and I repeat do not trust them with your money
THIS SCHOOL IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL THEY TOOK THE MONEY DIDNT PROVIDE EXTENSIVE TRAINING TRUCKS BROKE MOST OF TIME I HAVEN'T PAST DMV please go somewhere else not Dolphin

Best school you learn fast!! Great teachers 100% you get your license. With the capacity to work for any company.
Graduated in winter of 2013, and have been rolling with the finest,of truck driving, started out with CRST, and in 3 months JB Hunt called me with a huge raise in pay, all my training with Dalphin trucking paid off greatly and recommend this school to anyone who wants to be a truck driver
6-8 weeks you will be ready to drive trucks. Great instructors and the staff work closely with you to obtain your license.
