If you want to learn how to drive a tractor-trailer, they will teach you. The office staff, and yard instructors are very polite, down to earth. If you show initiative, and put in the time required to learn, you will get what you came for. The school isn't pretty, neither are the trucks you learn on, but the trucks that you do your road training & Dmv testing with are nicer, you won't have any problems on the road or with the DMV. Everyone learns differently, most instructors teach differently, learn how to deal with your education in a way that works for you. Practice your air brake inspection, in cab, & pre trip as you wait for your turn in the truck to practice your yard skills. Shout out to Alicia,Nancy,Mauricio, Frank, & Ariel for your role in my training.  Don't be afraid to ask for help, everyone including other students are friendly & willing to help you any way they can. I even learned from my mistakes lol Read Less

This review is due for a long time. I was a student there and so glad that from the owners to all the staffs helping me out to pass the test. Now I'm a successful owner operator. David the owner is very humble as an owner and show me so much. The instructors always answer all my questions to get me where I need to be. Thank you everyone at Camino Real for so much caring to get me where I become. Read Less

Camino Real has given me a new lease on life and a wonderful career... Thank you for everything... Read Less

All the trucks provided to students are extremely old，some trucks' steering wheel are as heavy as a HUGE STONE. You need to stand on the Cluth to make it work. This is not the worst thing, the most ridiculous thing is that  the newest trucks you are driving to DMV taking driving test were made in 1980's. The rest turcks are OLDER that those, some are even scrapped vehicle. If the truck broke down while you are testing, you STILL charge by school . DO NOT wasting your time here!!!!                             Todos los camiones proporcionados a los estudiantes son extremadamente viejos, algunos volantes de los camiones son tan pesados ​​como una PIEDRA ENORME. Necesitas pararte en el Cluth para que funcione. Esto no es lo peor, lo más ridículo es que los camiones más nuevos que conduce al DMV que tomaron el examen de manejo se hicieron en los años 80. El resto de los turcos son MÁS ANTIGUOS que esos, algunos incluso son vehículos desechados. Si el camión se descompuso mientras está realizando las pruebas, AÚN sigue cobrando por la escuela. NO malgastes tu tiempo aquí !!!! Read Less

This was a very good school for me. They have great staff and helpful. I got my passenger endorsement through them and passed on my first time. Frank, Nancy and Ariel got me squared away on any concerns I had. Thank you guys. Read Less

I love coming to class and learning everyday I would recommend everyone to come and apply here all the instructors are professional and are there to teach you like I said it's a great school well recommended Read Less

What a giant waste of time and money! From day one this place was unprofessional and it just snow balled from there. $1400 up front for a few weeks of classes/training/materials and then three chances to pass your test. Sounds great, but it's not that simple. One thing after another happened over the few weeks resulting in an entire day spent at the DMV and not being able to even take the test! The truck/bus was not available for class/training at least 8-10 times in these weeks, they did not state that a drug test OR physical exam was required, the instructors blamed the office employees for everything and the women in the office constantly had an excuse for their short comings. Then, after all was said and done, when at the DMV for over FIVE HOURS, they finally told me that I needed a passenger endorsement. I don't even need the license to drive a bus! I only want my Class B License to apply for city jobs to drive straight truck non-passenger endorsement! I was livid! This is absurd! How could all of this go overlooked after taking my $1400?!?!?! What a waste of time and money! Unprofessional and unorganized and dishonest company. Stay away! Read Less

This school helped me out pretty damn good my career has a bulk of the Transportaion catagorie i begun as a vehicle recovery man (repo man) to pizza dude spaning a 4 city grid and several years at a N.E.M.T non emergency medical transporter ....i intially was reluctant to go for my class A for the reason i want to continue with passenger transport ...... I was informed id be capable to drive class B from my class A with the inclusion of getting my passenger endorsement ...... The transition into the truck i found i had two ways of learning it like a Natural or mechanicly ... The instuctors will help you more when they know your wanting to do a thing for your future progress and that your not attending the school for another item to tac onto your Resume....as any intructor in just about any job oriented criteria would do .......this school i can attribute some Virtues i gained for strictly on the road plus the addtion OBSERVATIONS to reading signs some general ordinances O.T.R. the united states or Mexico and Canada in addition i did get taken by a mainstream trucking company  .... The few other reviews i noticed on here that discredit camino real NONSENSE  trucking is a manly man job ....!! Read Less

This place sucks. Students teach students and the owner is so tight his butt squeaks when he walks. Instead of investing his profits into his equipment and vehicles, he stacks his money upstairs in a room and swims in it. Broken down trucks fill the parking lot while students fight for their next turn to practice. This place ain't half bad, it's all bad! Read Less

Save your money, energy and time!!! Avoid this place. Very unprofessional. Way to crowded the staff had no idea what they are doing and they do not keep their word.  The staff blamed the owner for all the complications but who knows ! Read Less

This school is GREAT. The instructors Jose, Frank, and Abraham care and help the students. They make sure that you know your stuff before they put you behind a bus or truck. They quiz you and test you. I'm glad I picked this school. Thanks so much guys for all your help!!!!!!! Read Less

You get what you pay for. I went here trying to get my class A license and it did not workout at all. I studied all the material for my permit at home and once I got my permits I went back to the school and they would tell me to go home and study at home cause they didn't have time. When I finally got a chance to do my pre inspection test at school the teacher had to leave early so I never got to it.not worth it Read Less

This school should be closed down for the poor quality in the training. I had taken a Forklift course here, but I was completely disappointed when they made me use a computer with windows Xp and watch video some video from the 90's with poor visual quality. To make matters worse I had to use their earphones, which smelled like sweat and then gave me a rash later on the day.  They make you take the test in the middle of entrance, where most of rude employees were talking and laughing constantly throughout my test. The actual driving of forklift portion was a complete disaster. The irony that their own forklift did not pass regulations it was not up to code. They don't have a proper training course just a parking and four cones. My instructor had major problems even starring the forklift. It turned off at least 8 times on me and did not even have a seat belt. After the eighth time my instructor just passed out of complications. Sure I gave my license now but I'm not fully aware on driving a forklift. I did not bother making a scene for a refund because the people were simply running a crooked school, which was not worth $25...   Zreo Stars a simple heads up ! Read Less
