easy use of veterans benefits and great staff. They will teach you every thing you need to know to pass the DMV test and help you find a job. I was already getting job offers half way through school.

I had very aggressive instructor and she told me I need at least another 10 hours lesson. I get to another school and after two lessons, I have passed the DMV test today.

After researching half a dozen different truck driving schools in the IE area, I finally settled with United Truck Driving School. With an accredited 160-hour program, it has a curriculum many employers require for employment when you have no truck driving experience. I added a passenger endorsement to my class-A license, bumping it up to a 186 hr class. As a recent graduate, I can honestly say this place is the real deal. They emphasize safety and teach you what you need to know for your DMV exams. They will walk you through the entire process from beginning to end, even bring recruiters in to show you what's out there. There's no "hard sale" where they encourage you to sign up with anyone, but if you want to see some of what's out there, it comes to you. Amber (first 2 weeks)was awesome and made class fun, interesting, and real. You'll hear stories and get an authentic perspective and be prepared for the written exam, pre-trip, and airbrakes. For the driving instruction I had Wayne...he's the real deal. He teaches the basics before making sure you're equipped to handle your driving exam at the DMV, no joke. By the time the month was over, I felt comfortable driving down the road in huge Freightliner with a 48' trailer. Some schools put you in a day truck (no sleeper) with a 25' trailer...that's nonsense and really does you a disservice. Many employers will give you a road test before hire, so you better be able to handle a full-size tractor and trailer with a 10-spd manual transmission. Anyway, a big two-thumbs up for United Truck Driving School in Riverside! I got everything I needed to start my new career.

I wanted to personally thank the Riverside team for guiding me through the CDL process. Amber, Wayne, and Edwin were amazing in teaching me the finer points of obtaining my CDL. I would recommend United Truck Driving School for those who are serious in becoming a truck driver.

I have never been to school where the staff worked as hard as they did here at United Truck Driving School. From day one everyone did everything they could to make sure I was able to get what i needed done. Not just in class but even before i started. The Instructors are all experience drivers and well informed. I was able to use my Post 9-11 G.I. school benefits as well as get help from Veterans Village to cover the remaining cost of school. Weather you are a veteran or not this school is a great place to attend. Just remember you get out of it what you put in. Thank you to everyone at United Trucking and Veterans Village.

Very bad experience. First of all, my instructor's car was more like a trash bin ( filthy, smelt very bad) and was broken all the time ( left signal didn't work, car was blocked at the garage for weeks ). I was supposed to have a lesson with my instructor, she didn't even show up. I called her, she had forgotten our lesson and didn't feel sorry at all. She had these very conservative ( about homosexuals, divorced parents...) and religious opinions, and kept talking about them. On our last lesson, she was so angry that she stopped the lesson 30 minutes before the end. She told me I could tell my friends to take lessons with her instead of going with the driving school, so she didn't have to pay taxes. Don't go there, there are other driving schools in Riverside, that are cheaper.

Dale tells you no cost carrier pays but makes you drive all the way there to try an run your credit and doesnt tell you its 940.00 down with a 650 credit score my credit score is too low wish i could have known this before driving down wasting my time .. Who knows how their school really is i wont find out

Yamaha Branded

Jason, Wayne, and Edwin, you guys rock. This school will teach you how to drive the real trucks, 46'-53' 10 speeds. These guys are the best. Jason, thanks for taking me on and teaching me the way!

The office and classroom smell horrible and the representative of admission is very tough.

Micki Cappello

Got my CDL! United gave me all the tools I needed to get my permit & pass the driving test. Edwin and crew are excellent teachers. On my way to a higher paying career & job offers started before I graduated!

The classroom time and material are great and taught with detail but the yard time/behind the wheel training and tractor trailers are subpar. The instructors all around are great and knowledgeable, but because of only having 2 road legal tractor trailers and having students from classes before coming back (because they failed) to retrain and taking your behind the wheel time, it limits you to your own training and soon become those students that need to be retrained. Most of your time is wasted waiting for trucks to come back or need to fixed.

Well I graduated a year go from United Truck Driving School... United Truck Driving School has showed me many skills and techinques for helping me receive my class A license. Especially, my instructor Miss Amber, who movitated me to get my class A license in a month. The instructors are very intelligent and respectful, they will try there hardest to help you receive your Class A License... They never let you down...

Navpreet Singh

The instructors know their stuff. I was able to pass all my written tests, to include my motorcycle, and the driving skills test plus bus in my first try. I learned a lot from Amber, Wayne, Jason, and Edwin. Got my Class A CDL with all the endorsements. I had several job offers halfway through. Thank you all. The only thing I might point out is to have all the trucks test ready for example good tires.

Char Hensley

I have recently taken behind the wheel training at this school and found the school to be unprofessional, lacking in customer service, and a waste of money. During my training sessions my instructor did not show me any maneuvers for the actual DMV test, we just drove around my residential neighborhood. My instructor ended the sessions early and did not cover basic driving lessons. I called the business to see if I was able to get a refund or some kind of compensation for the time and money I lost but I was not offered anything other than what I already paid for. I would not recommend this school to anyone.

Luis De La Cruz

Called in to get information about attending the school for my Class A and the guy who answered was unprofessional and rude, I asked the price for the course and he told me but I didn't quite hear him so I said "I'm sorry I didn't hear you, How much was it?" And he responded loud and with an attitude and hung up the phone on me.
