Hello everyone, just want say that TDA was the best choice of school and did not regret choosing them. If I would choose a school again it would be TDA all over again. Great instructors with patience and knowledge in what they are doing. I was in and out within 3 weeks and achieved my CDL thanks to the great team Frank, Donato, Tony, Juanito and Samantha couldn't do it without them either. read more

This school is Awesome, because of there program, staff and instructors I was able to pass my Test with the knowledge I needed to obtain my CDL license. For anyone who is looking to get there CDL license I highly recommend this school for the price and time but understand that if you need help talk to your instructors trust me they are willing to spend time to train you one on one but sometimes there are days where alot of people who are attending the school are also trying to pass and sometimes the instructors are swamped so my advice get to know your class mates and ask them for tips and tricks. Also big thanks to the office staff and instructors read more

Truck Driver Academy - Just Passed my CDL Drive Test!!! Thank You TDA Staff!! - Driving Schools Near Me - Fontana, California

This is a 10 star school. It was worth the wait. Just started this month. All the positive stuff people say about this school is true. I did my research for about 2 months trying to find the best school. I met Frank the first day he is the manager very nice guy and really cares about students education. All the teachers are very helpful and approachable. I probably drive them crazy with all the questions I ask, but I really appreciate their patience. The instructors show all the backing maneuvers the DMV will throw at you. The part I like about the school is the groups are small so you have plenty of time to practice behind the wheel. So far I've been working with 3 instructors Roberto, Tony, and Sergio. These guys pushed my class to the best of our abilities. Sergio really goes out of his way help the students. He is very encouraging. In the end you really get what you pay for and your paying for the best trucking school in California. I recommend anyone to come and get your CDL here you won't regret it. read more

I have my road test on November 15 this school helped me get it they have everything u need to familiarize yourself with a truck and trailer and they teach how to do basic maneuvers that you can apply to different situations it's up to you how fast u wanna get it when I actually applied myself it took 3 weeks to boost my confidence for my road test and they are fed ex approved school according to them I'll be back with a review if that was true also will is a great instructor for when you go on the road he knows his stuff he might come off as harsh but he's a great instructor I'M BACK WITH THE FEDEX APPROVED SCHOOL REVIEW AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE REASON I DIDN'T GET THE JOB WITH FEDEX AS A NEW GRADUATE WAS MY FELONY'S EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GOOD TO GO THANK YOU TDA FOR HELPING ME GET MY CDL ahh you thought I was about to talk the most shit read more

En general, una Excelente Escuela. 100% recomendada. Todo el equipo de TDA trabajan con los estudiantes y lo guían a uno paso por paso motivándolos a completar cada etapa del programa. Sin duda alguna, muy buen primer paso para un mejor futuro. read more

Overall my experience here was great. The teachers are ver informative. The director Frank is very accommodating, he will go the extra mile to make sure your needs are met. If you're looking to get CdL training this would be the place to go. -Chris Diaz read more

This school is amazing. Let me start off by saying they make everyone feel welcome. From the lady's in the front office to the instructor they are very helpful. You have a question they have an answer. The instructor go above and beyond to help the students. The students also help each other. It's a friendly but professional environment. I am glad I picked this school. If I had to do it all over I would pick Truck driver academy again. What I like the most is how they welcome women with open arms. They didn't show favor to the women either. We had to learn and go hard just like the men. They want to see every student that come to this school succeed. If I could give 10 stars I would, that how good this school is. Thank you all for your help, patience and tips to succeed. read more

Just Graduated 5/6/22 from Truck Driver Academy in Fontana CA. Had a great time learning how to operate and learn basic skills about hands on all trucks also getting my CDL. The training from all instructors and 100% dedication to the program. From Management to the office personnel ( Ladies ) and all the instructors out on the field and out on the road driving. I can say I had a great experience there. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get your CDL at Truck Driver Academy, reasonable price but you still have to give it your all on your part=100% Thanks to the Academy for all your support.

If you really like to have a cdl truck driver license. Do yourself a favor. Do not go anywhere else. Hand on training, one on one, knowledgeable instructor, that actually spend time with you. They will work around your job schedule. And the cost is better than many truck driving school. I know ! I compared companies prices. And attend some schools. And many could not compare. It took me a year, because of job schedule. but they encourage me and inspired me, even when I didn't believe in myself, to have one Thank you Frank Rosa Carlos Elizabeth TDA Schools Training staff's (" A one" ) excellent trucking schools. read more

Great school. Great instructors. Great period. You'll learn everything you need to know to get your CDL. They'll answer every question you have. Best decision I made was attending this school. Rafa Herrera read more

Truck Driver Academy - Driving Schools Near Me - Fontana, California

I don't even know where to start. This school was everything I could have ask for and more. My first day learning something I have no clue about was intimidating. I sat looking at my phone reading all the reviews thinking wow this sounds amazing but can it really be that great? And let me tell you, it is! I am so glad that I chose this school over other options. As soon as you walk through the door you're greeted by the most friendliest faces Elizabeth and Maribel. They will answer all your questions and concerns and become the people you look forward to seeing. The trainers are outstanding !! They are there to help you learn and are eager to do so. The way they break down the skills into a clear perception on what to do is eye opening. Ignacio in particular was my go to trainer. He was always there to help me and when I felt discouraged he always reminded me I could do it! His knowledge on parts for the pre trip inspection was so helpful. Rosie is probably the nicest person I have ever met. She took me on the road for my first time and made me feel so calm and comfortable at the wheel. All of the students are great, we are all there for one common goal. To get our commercial license! Everyone helps each other and pushes each other to succeed. If you're looking for a driving school.. well it's pretty clear where you should go. Give them a call, and talk to Frank! He is so nice and able to work with you even if you don't have a set work schedule and have different days off like I did. He and the whole team are unbelievable !! read more

Heard great stuff about this place, actually interested in joining your classes, but I'm wondering how fast would I be able to complete the course with the whole xovid thing going on read more

I was very disappointed at end of my training the trainers were really nice and helpful. I was there for a few months I received training but didn't finish. I asked the receptionist how I can go about finishing my course because I missed too many days. She then told me I had to pay full price so i asked for the short brush up course and the receptionist said no I would need to pay full price when I didn't need that many hours to finish. They wouldn't work with me and I was surprised they were really helpful before. They should try to make their students happy and not give us the run around. We are paying after all. read more

Stay away from this school it's a total RIP off don't waste your money and time" there are better schools out there" I went to this school looking to get my cdl license right away I already had some experience from my job and just needed the driving test to get my license but they told me I needed to do all these driving courses I didn't need so I didn't want to pay full price for the school and they said ok you can take the short course so I thought it was a good idea to pay just half the course man was I wrong the first few weeks I went they didn't bother to train me right away and they kept changing instructors so I was confused they kept asking me if I was new, don't they keep track of the students"i told them I was not going to come for a month and when I came back to finish the school they told me that the prices have changed for the school and tried to charge me full price even though I paid already so I showed them the contract I sighed for and they told me it was invalid,and that I was going to have to sign up again and the instructor told me because I paid half already he would give me a discount that was double of what I already paid and I told them no it's a RIP off,went to another school and got my license right away,don't waste your money here it's a RIP off" read more

School sucks the teachers only care about the swift students and not the private students that paid upfront . They don't show you well at all the only good teacher is Diana Ramos and she gives her time when she comes out of the permit class. read more

DO NOT COME HERE!! ESPECIALLY if your from FedEx. I came to this school with a voucher from work and the lady that is in charge of FedEx people screwed me over. At first she told me everything was fine, than three weeks later she said I had to fix my voucher. So I went to work canceled the voucher and made a new one, she told me everything was fine. Three weeks later again I get a call saying I need to "fix" something else so I go to work cancel it and remake a new one, she tells me everything is fine now. Three weeks later AGAIN she calls saying I need to fix another thing, I go to work only to find out that I can't fix/cancel it because my voucher have been "approved" so I let the lady know and she has the nerve to tell me that If I can't fix it than I should pay for it out of my own pocket! What kind of professional are you?! Keep in mind they get a lot of FedEx/Amazon people so they have gone through this a handful of times to know what is wrong/missing on the voucher. This lady is also very unorganized because when my friends applied they received a couple of packets/questions yet me and some other people didn't receive anything, we had to go and ask for them. This place is really ghetto but the trainers are really nice though, the ladies in the office are really nice too except for the one that's in charge of "FedEx/Amazon". Also most of these "5 start reviews" are robots or they are payed for just so they can have good ratings. read more

Baldwin park school is good big thanks to Sergio and Jeff. They are tough but teach well. If you put in the work you will learn fast!

This is the best trucking school hands down!!!! They will help you get your license no matter the skill level. Chris is one of the best instructors at TDA he's knowledgeable and has great patience with you and knows his stuff! Frank the director is also a great person. I went from not knowing anything to getting my license within a month but that also depends on how fast you learn and pick up the education they teach you. I got my license on 4/17/18 and in less than a week I've started my new job as a long haul trucker. Thanks TDA! read more

The school went above and beyond to make sure I understood all the basic maneuvers and parts of a truck. The instructors are good and patient with the students and they took the time to actually show me how to do each step properly for the behind the wheel test. definitely recommend to anyone looking for a truck driving school read more

This place is a huge scam, instructors give you a brief example of what to do, then tell you to just try until you get it, they have you clock in on an app to track your "training" hours, but really you sit under a tree for hours waiting to get your 15 Minutes in the truck, I sat there for 5 hours and got 15 mins in a truck, and when I went to cancel the coarse they charged me $100 for every hour of "training" total scam would not recommend this class to anyone there are better places, they just want your money read more

Be careful of this school no one even care , My husband went there to get the program through WIOA . First they are unprofessional never answer their phone never explained the program or even show me the place to get an idea what I'm getting to. Lastly the most ridiculous thing I had to go through english test as its not my first language I never heard of trucking school ask for this !!I did the exam via zoom the person was working from home with all the noise from her kids around , imagine how can i focus? also the exam is PDF on the screen which I don't have control to scroll up or down or even choose the answer?? so the lady was asking me verbally for few seconds then scroll down rationally without giving me chance to reread the question plus the noise was around her and her kids and there is no transparency how would i know she put my answer as i don't have control on on the screen ? Also they said the results in 1 week or a little more its more than 2 weeks and no respect or even answer. The lady answered me very rude and said we can't tell you !!!!! Are you serious. The school charge over $6000 which over pricy but they do this because it's coming from the state. They cause me a big issue that I can't get approved quickly for the program because of them. I see discrimination in all of these. Save your time , energy and money stay away from this school . read more

I started @ Truc Drivers Academy on. March 18, 2019 and I took my driving test on May 7, 2019 and " PASS "...I started school with no knowledge on how, or what I was expected to do to maneuver a tractor trailer. I was overwhelmed b4 I even started school , but the instructor's along with the atmousphere around the campus PROVED I could accomplish what it takes to be a " CLASS A CDL HOLDER " graduate! I was able to learn the technique's to maneuver my truck in and out of tight spots; able to learn double-cluchting and down-shifting with a one-on-one basis w/instructor on daily over the road training which Charles had tremendous patience and extremely high experience. I learned at my pace with no pressure from the school or instructor to learn at a quicker pace other than mine. Such a great school. I'm satisfied and proud of my accomplishment and it's due to the fact of how I was taught from TRUCK DRIVING ACCADEMY. I'm on my way to starting a Truck Driving job in a few weeks. THANK YOU!EAST VALLEY COLLEGE,TRUCK DRIVING ACADEMY. read more
