I got my CDL here 7 years ago, and after training several new guys at my company now and hearing their stories about the schools they went to... I can't … More recommend this place enough. Best prices, great training, and great staff. Juan, Rafa, and Frank are great teachers (and funny as hell to boot). I keep hearing stories about younger guys paying $7,000+ for schools that are absolute clown shoes and taught them next to nothing. I'm really glad I got my license here and would refer anyone in Northern CA to go here.

A great place to go to truck school. They have great pricing on the packages they offer. I passed on my first try thanks to Rafael, Cristian, and Alejandro … More who each have their own way of teaching the students how to drive a truck safely, which I deeply appreciate. All of their different driving techniques put together taught me how to drive and pass to get my class A. Don’t try the other trucking schools, this one is the best. Thank you again guys. Will refer you to other future students.

Thank you to J&R trucking for helping me get my class A. The guys had help me a lot with any question I had. Raphael, Christian, and Alex had really … More helped me learn how to drive a manual and each one of those guys have a technique you can learn from and use in the real world. If you ever want to go get your class A, I would definitely recommend these guys they really know there stuff. Thank you again.

Gracias to memo for showing me almost everything. Thank you to Isaac for teaching everyone reversing the trailer. Overall this school has the right principles … More down for students to be successful and pass. Downfall is tough love no ac in trucks during the summer. Also its a free for all to get equipment usage sometimes feels like all the students show up at the same time. Overall great school passed the dmv test on my first try. If you have a question or need help ask an instructor! Many students don't speak up. Time line of how long this can take 3 weeks or more depending on how much you show up

Received my CDL class A from this school. Everyone here is respectful, and helpful. Always good vibes here. Thank you Sam, and Angel for holding it down … More in the office. Let’s not forgot the owners Juan, and Rafa. Instructors are very knowledgeable, and they’re there to help you, and show you what’s expected, and what you need to do in order to pass your test. Larry, Isaac from pre-trip to skills. Rafael is a great instructor, and patient with us newbies on the road. Haha. Lastly, Alejandro is a veteran instructor at J&R. He’s one the best in the industry!!!! Appreciate you all at J&R,Rodolfo Duran JR

Although I have not yet attained my CDL through J&R I've had several interactions with the staff, also inquired about pricing and spoken to several … More enrolled students and had the opportunity to assess the business.With the full cost of the course, multiple decades of experience behind the wheel, including a no commitment tour of the facility I must state that I wouldn't entertain the thought of enrolling in any other school even if it was closer to my home.I feel appreciated, encouraged and confident after my encounter with this family run business.I'll be following up with a second review after I've successfully completed my goal to obtain my CDL.Special thanks toJuan, Rafael, Larry, Samantha. The J&R Trucking school family.

Hands down the best CDL A truck school. Amazing staff, Lots of trucks, good size lot to practice! We switched over from Truck Nation in Salida Ca to J&R … More truck school due to the unprofessionalism of Truck Nation. It was the best decision to come to J&R, they will get you ready and teach you everything you need to know for the DMV.Fair pricing as well not like those other schools that don't teach and want to charge a whole lot of money!

Instructors will push you to do your best, and will help you if you show up and put … More the effort in to want to be taught, its all up to you and how ever long you want to take to get your License. The Dmv Truck is in Great Condition Runs and Drives smooth. They have 6 trucks from when I attended September 2020. Overall experience was great and well balanced.

The process of getting started was straightforward. The staff was informative and professional. Class was great and covered everything I needed to know … More to pass my test. Juan Ramirez was my trainer and I couldn't have asked for a better one. Although the trucks are loud and the location is next to the freeway, I was still able to hear instructions. Great attitude and patient even when I made mistakes. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone wanting to get started in the truck driving industry.

Honestly they helped me out from the very start. They communicate well and show that they care about your next step. They explain everything over and over … More making sure you don’t forget, and understand. They made me feel like I belonged and for the most part made leaving there hard haha. I am now certified and thanks to all the instructors and workers I can say it was a pleasure. The best equipment and willing to work with your schedule.Thanks J&R

Where to start..the staff at J&R trucking are the best. I felt incredibly insecure starting my journey as a truck driver considering I have never … More driven a vehicle with a clutch and knowing it's a man's wrold but the Instructors there made Me feel very comfortable and always encouraged me even when I doubted myself the kept encouraging me that I could do it. Long story short they helped me through all myobstacles with out losing their cool they are so patient with the students there I will miss all my Instructors it's a bitter sweet moment when I passed my class A driving test on my first try. I couldn't have done it with out them I highly recommend this school 🙌🙌

J&R Truck School has highly helped me in my career. Without their family like support from the crew Juan, Rafa, Frank, Marabelle, Memo, I don't … More know if I could have passed without them. They push you to meet your goals every step of the way. The best school with the best equipment. Don't get fooled by other companies, this one is legit & satisfaction guaranteed pass.
- Ronnie Powell ★★★★★ 2 years ago
J&R is an awesome school. Just graduated today. Taught step by step to take all endorsements, permit, as well as cdl drive. Multiple trucks running … More so you are always able to practice driving and skills. Thanks to Juan for being the person he is. (Very straight forward and direct) thats the best way for someone to get the knowledge to pass. Also thanks to Chava and Alejandro for your attentiveness. Thank you Rafa for your help in securing job leads as well. If your looking for a truck school but unsure, I can PROMISE THIS OS THE ONE!!!!! THANKS J&R

Amazing school, good instructors, I had an amazing time at this school, learned a lot and got my Class A with all endorsements, highly recommend this Certified … More Trucking School. Please do not listen to the negative comments about the instructors, the Instructors are here to make you get your CDL A and that’s it, just listen and do what the instructor tell you because you are only a student not the teacher, just put in the work get those skills down and shifting down, respect the truck , your surroundings, the poeple there and know that pre-trip word by word. J and R trucking school is worth every penny.

I went to a couple of schools around the area. They honestly had the best price and that's what initially got me to sign up. All the tools are available … More for you to use at all times. They give you a year to learn and pass. Don't be shy to ask questions, between the 3 instructors there you should know everything about maneuvering a tractor and trailer within a few months. I passed on my first try because I paid attention to what they were saying when they were teaching in the yard. They also help you find a job. Whats great is they keep in touch and have such strong relationships with the students that pass and companies, the student and recruiters them know who's hiring and usually that leads to new CDL holder getting a job in the first week! The guys are great and I'll recommend J&R to everyone that looking to get a CDL.
