    Definitely recommend Daniel and Mario are great teachers. Everything is at your own pace. They teach from whatever knowledge you have from complete beginners and up. There are some students that start with other schools and come here because coast to coast is the best.

    Big shout out to Daniel and Mario for helping me get my CDL. If you're serious about getting your CDL this is the place they waste no time putting you behind the wheel and letting you practice on your skills and driving there's plenty of trucks to practice on. And they're flexible on the payments I definitely recommend going to this school.

    Coast to Coast truly exceeded my expectations. After having a difficult experience at another school, coming here felt like a breath of fresh air. Their trucks are always clean, well-maintained, and built to the exact DMV specifications, which gave me the confidence I needed every time I practiced.
    The instructors are not only knowledgeable they genuinely care about your progress. You can feel that they want you to pass, and they take the time to explain, correct, and guide you with patience and professionalism. Having both automatic and manual trucks available showed me how committed they are to offering real, complete training.
    One of the things I appreciated the most is that the school doesn’t overcrowd their yard. Because there aren’t too many students, you get plenty of actual driving and practice time, which makes a huge difference. The staff is honest, transparent, and explains every detail of your contract from the very beginning. You always know exactly what to expect.
    Thanks to Coast to Coast, I didn’t just get training—I got support, clarity, motivation, and the right environment to succeed. And thanks to them, I earned my CDL.
    I truly recommend this school to anyone who wants a serious, trustworthy, and supportive place to build their future.

    My experience at this truck driving school was excellent from start to finish — easily a 5-star experience. The instructors were professional, patient, and genuinely committed to helping every student succeed. What really stood out was how quickly they got us behind the wheel — I was driving a truck within just a couple of days, which is much faster than many other schools. They put students in trucks often, giving plenty of hands-on practice that builds real confidence on the road. The training program was well-organized, covering everything from classroom learning and pre-trip inspections to real-world driving scenarios. Thanks to their guidance and support, I proudly earned my Class A license through this school and would highly recommend it to anyone serious about starting a career in trucking - A special thank you to Daniel Ramirez and Michael for being amazing instructors

    You want to go here because Daniel (the owner) is incredibly perceptive and patient, making it easy as possible to learn how to drive 10-speed manual trucks. His experience is top notch and thanks to his team's guidance I've been able to triple my income in a mere 9 months, from ~30k/yr to ~100k/yr. YOU CAN TOO! Worth every penny.

    This school is hands down a great school to attend if you're looking to get your commercial driver's license. It's family owned and operated and by the time you've completed the course, you really feel like you've connected with the staff and students as if you were family. From the start of this journey with this school, the owners were super fast at reaching out to get me enrolled and started. They invited my wife and I and my child to come in and enroll which I thought was pretty cool. It allowed my family to see where I would be and what type of environment I would be practicing in. They gave me 30 days to acquire my permit and my medical examination certificate which was plenty of time to study and get started. Within a week I was ready to rock and I started right away. They're patient, welcoming and at the same time on a mission as you are to succeed. One thing I thought was pretty cool was they are stern and it may seem intimidating at first, but let's face it, it's a serious license and responsibility to be on the road with such heavy vehicles so I didn't take it personal. I just strived to get better everyday so they understood that I understood them. They give you the opportunity to work with fellow students so everyone understands the position of the instructors and gives you the feel of what they are trying to accomplish with us as students. Sure it may seem like alot of money to enroll but they have asphalt in the yard and not dirt and potholes so you're smooth with the clutch and level so you can adjust your skills properly. The trucks are newer Freighliner day cabs which I was particularly a fan of with my past experience driving straight truck Freightliners and felt comfortable in. Sure you can goto another school and pay less but are you going to get much time behind the wheel or time in the truck to practice skills with a ton of students because of the price? When it comes down to it, it's what you're trying to accomplish. They give you the trucks and the yard to practice in and the directions to master the skills, but let's be real, it's on you as the student to take it seriously, pay attention, and take advantage of the time spent there and really do what you need to do, set a date which is a self goal to strive for and get that license and start making good money. They're open Tuesday-Saturday 8am-1:30p to assure they're closed by 2pm. They take students on Saturdays if the week schedule doesn't work for you. It's really a matter of what you want out of it and whether your money is gonna get you what you want. I enjoyed the experience of being watched and taught and having the trust to allow us to all do it without someone constantly on your neck. That's just my personal opinion and preference and everyone I attended with felt the same way. We worked together as students after being given direction to accomplish one goal, to be a commercial truck driver. Keep an open mind, don't be cocky and act like a know it all, because it won't get you nowhere. The staff are there to teach you and allow you to try on your own and if you don't want to take your skill seriously, then maybe go somewhere else. In just over 8 weeks I believe I completed my course and got my CDL. I appreciate the staff greatly for being patient, kind, encouraging and really believing in me that I could make this move for my family and I couldn't be more greatful. I enjoyed everyday of it. Thank you Helen, Daniel, Mario, Tony and Henry for everything. Proud to say I graduated from Coast to Coast and would and have already recommended this school to friends that are considering getting their CDL.

    The ONLY place to go to for your Class A or B license.
    There were a few other schools that were closer to me but the reviews weren't that good. These guys made it worth the longer drive. Got my Class A in about 7 weeks and felt more than ready by the time I took my test. Highly recommended.
    Thank you Mario, Daniel, Tony and Helen.
