Yuma Truck Driving School, Yuma | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

This will be a lengthy review so as to fairly and accurately describe this facility and it’s staff. Starting with the receptionist, I was greeted with a smile and a cheerful hello, instantly making me feel welcome. Then came the process of signing up. Very smooth and well explained as to what I could expect and what would be required of me. Then came the instructors. Shar (sp?) was a peach. Old school. Straight to the point, direct and blew no smoke up anyone’s back side. YOUR HAND DOESN’T LIVE THERE!!! She comes across as very gruff and almost nagging but she is the only one that could make that a positive. She is that way in order to ensure the student learns and doesn’t just “skate by”. Rudy was always smiling and checking the progress of each student, asking them how things were going. Ricardo was always attentive to students and their questions. Juan and Roland also showed concern and care for the students. Paul was always helping and guiding his students. Toby was always attentive to what was going on and assisting anyone who seemed to need help. John reminded me of R. Lee Ermey. Very professional and an asset to the school. When I first walked in, it was like I was a n orangutan being told to play the saxophone. After being taught and guided by the staff here, I began to feel more like Michaelangelo with a paint brush. This school and the staff have started me on a path that will positively change my life and for that, I will be eternally thankful. If you are even remotely thinking about attaining your CDL, this is the ONLY place I would recommend. Thank you Yuma Truck Driving School, I truly, sincerely and eternally thank you for everything you all have done for me.

I used the GI Bill to cover for the 310 hr program. Overall, it’s a good school. The instructors give you the knowledge and tools to help you become successful, but it is up to you to put in the extra effort to study on your own time and ask questions. I would recommend this school to anyone looking to obtain a commercial license.

The school was decent. Not enough space nor vehicles for the amount of students. Some instructors are very good at instructing others not so much. Some can be quite condescending especially if you’ve never driven stick before. At times it seems they do need more instructors to give proper directions to complete skills.
