The teachers and the methodology are good. However the school has NOT ENOUGH RESOURCES FOR SO MANY STUDENTS!! Mornings and afternoons have about 15 students and only one old tacky truck. There was a situation where the students fought over the trucks!!! Ps: If you are applying under OC Workforce, they have a lot of good schools in their database! There is a CDL school in Baldwin HALF OF THE PRICE and there are about 12 TRUCKS, each student drives their own truck!

Tga Just passed my CDL last week. Took me one fail to realize how good of a driver I am lol jokes aside great school to learn at. Price a little high so if you can get any help I suggest you try. First few days spent with cam. This guy is a good dude funny and ain’t afraid to teach you. Sent me to the DMV confident enough to get my permit this was within a couple days of starting the school. My second instructor was Jonathan good teacher was on you. Taught you what you needed to move onto the next step. Christian was my next instructor. Another good teacher made me feel real confident taught me a lot. He made my experience a lot easier. Next instructors were Stu and Esmeralda. They were both very helpful as well. They were the ones that took me out for my driving skills. I guess I drove so good on my test the person actually testing me at the DMV asked if I had a class a license before. Guess this ment I drove good lol. Thanks guys. My last month was spent in Downey due to all the new changes. Martha also was a great help with my skills. Thank you as well. All in all great experience at TGA. Highly recommended to anyone trying to change there life and career.

I recently just passed my CDL. I recommend this school is AMAZING the front office girls are very friendly. I started off with Andrea and Pablo teaching me straight line back and Parallel skills. Then I when to their other location where Joe and Cam are, Cam was my instructor and he taught me the other skills, offset and alley doc. I really have to say Cam helped me tremendously I am extremely thankful for his patience and dedication. I would not be here today if it wasn't for this great school and their hard working instructors. Within everything you have to keep up with learning your forms and air breaks. I didn't pass the first time which was devastating but the school kept teaching me and I was successful on my second attempt. After I pass I got a certificate from the school and Caroline helped me apply to jobs. I LOVE THIS SCHOOL. Don't give it a second thought, don't let your dreams keep being dreams put them into action! And over all BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. You got this mate.

I just recently got my Class A license, thanks to my amazing instructors. Andrea, Christian, Rudy, Cam and Pablo are really great instructors and will help you become a good and safe driver. Andrea is one of the best instructors by far for me, she’s very patient with you and breaks down everything piece by piece. I highly recommend TGA Truck Driving School to anyone that is trying to get their Class A license.

I made the right decision to pick TGA and I highly recommend going here. I started with zero experience and it took me about 13 weeks until completion, including passing my DMV test. Be ready to study your forms, then make sure to listen to what Joe tells you to do on skills, and finally get your road practice with Lina or Emily. I recently passed my DMV test and my CDL A arrives in 2-4 weeks. Thank you Pablo and all instructors at TGA, God bless you all

For those who come to read the comments to choose a school. Let me tell you my experience. Yesterday, I passed my test at the DMV on my first try, I'm so happy. After 12 weeks now I have my CDL and a few weeks more for my endorsment. So, I am very grateful to my instructor Andrea, I saw the effort she puts into her work, looking for different ways to teach you, she explains over and over until you understand, drive and perform the skills. I advise you that if you come to this school ask about her, to be your instructor,. Cam a great personality, a lot of experience, Emily is very kind to explain to you any question, but Andrea is the one who will teach you to be a safe and responsible driver. I was very lucky to have been your student.

At first i got excited to come to this school. But while attending i was treated very poorly. This school is understaffed, plays favoritism, not enough driving and time to practice skills. You pay 300 for books or so-called school material but they are 2-3 set of copied pages of 2-3 chapters. They lie about the dmv process and screw you on getting your tanker and doubles and triples endorsement( ask them for the packets prior to finishing your road dmv test to passing your license test or you will not be able to get your endorsements after. Your dmv file is closed but you can open it back up to add endorsements after passing your dmv road test for a 40-50 dollar fee.But you have to take the tests within a year of taking the written tests or you will be taking every test over again). They say that you will be able to keep your dmv file open and take it after you pass your dmv driving test(LIES).This place is family run and they are quick to turn against you. Your lucky to get 15 minutes for practicing your skills on the truck and 15 minutes of road driving time a day( not what they promised on the contract). I said i wasnt getting enough driving and practicing time To stewart(one of the teachers at the school)and i almost got kicked out of the program. The truckes and old and run down. They have 5-6 students per class when they are only equipped to handle 2-3 students per class. Tga trucking cancelled class when they wanted to when they felt like it without notifying the students and made us come to the school to waste our time and gas money. There were 3+ days when i would come to class and not have any time to practice my skills on the truck or drive on the road but just stand around and be told to study the material for 3 hours and leave for the next school day.lm glad i graduated and do not attend the school anymore. The jobs they refer you to( gardner trucking and associated ready mix) are dead end jobs. Gardner pays you 10 dollar for training and you get 16 a hour after training. Gardner has no room for advancement and is considered a place to get your minimum experience to get into better companies. Associated ready mix only requires a class b and tanker. This place delivers cement and doesnt count as class a experience and is a seasonal job. When it rains you dont work. Thanks pablo and caroline for letting me know. 10 dollars a hour for training and 20 after training. I only kept my mouth shut because i needed my class a for a better life. If they dont like you they will not help you. Only set you up for failure. BE WARNED!! Dont let them take advantage of you and take your hard earned money.also im enclosing pictures from when i went to the school and the material( supposedly 300 dollars in books that you are paying for when attending the school. What a joke). So this school cannot say that i didnt attend there. Message me if you want more information about them. I will more than gladly share the information.

TGA TRUCK DRIVING SCHOOL IS AWESOME!! My personal journey, has been challenging to say the least. Having to wake up for my regular job @ 2:30/3am work the day, and then go to evening classes from 6-10pm, but with the patient instructors ( Christian, Cam, Andrea, Rudy, and even Pablo, thanks!) I was able to complete my course and successfully get my class A. I like the way the course was designed. With structure, compassion, and understanding. I've integrated TGA into my life, and will miss seeing them on a regular. You'll get out of the class, what you put in.. they give you the opportunity to get a great foundation for a career in truck driving. I've heard of nightmare truck driving schools, and TGA is not one of them. From instructions, road time and skills, they are there to help. I just have one question; where's my graduation TGA t-shirt?? TGA TRUCK DRIVING SCHOOL= SUCCESS! Thanks for the positive experience guys.

I was looking for a school that was able to work with my schedule and was close to home. I did a little bit of research and came across TGA. Let me tell you that you won’t be disappointed the instructors are great and very respectful. I did everything they asked me to do and when the time came for me to take my test I had no issues. I want to thank the staff for being patient with me Pablo, Cristian, Andrea and Caroline. I highly recommend this school!!
