I paid out of pocket for this trucking school. The first day covered some basic instruction, but after that there was limited guidance from instructors and much of the learning came from other students. I did gain some on road driving experience. However, yard training was limited. Since yard skills make up a large portion of the DMV test, this made preparation more difficult. Overall, the value did not meet my expectations.

I had the best experience at this school! I passed my Commercial Driver's License test at the DMV my first try because they prepared me so well! I loved all of the instructors but Julio took the most time with me and guided me through each step of the time. They honestly feel like family to me now and I'm so excited for my future but I will miss all of them very much! I highly recommend this school and these instructors. If you listen to Julio...you will get your CDL easily. I'm so grateful for them!!!

Had the privilege of attending CTI and man was it a good experience helped me get my foot in the door to my current career and walked me through the whole process! Highly recommend any one that’s looking to get their Class A in the Salinas valley area. Archie was honest and professional every time he was at the yard and julio the yard instructor helped me out any time I had a question or was in doubt about anything! GOOD JOB FELLAS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
