About the school
The Rodriguez family opened America Truck Driving School in Santa Ana in 2000. It is still family owned and run.
Our students
Most of our students start with no commercial driving experience. Some have never driven a manual. Others are changing careers or coming back to the industry. We schedule training around work and family, and you keep the same instructors the whole way through.
We have grown mostly by word of mouth to four offices across Southern California.

- Train in International day cabs, a 10 speed sleeper, and a passenger bus

All the instructors genuinely cared and wanted to see me succeed. Yesterday I passed my test at the DMV.
Didn't even know how to drive stick shift. Got my Class A license and also got employed.
They explained the process in a clear and concise way which was very helpful for a new student.
