Trucking Schools In California (San Diego)

I've been looking myself and the two that i've found is united and western truck driving school prob going to check them out this weekend I'll let you know what I think.

 

I agree with scottccal that these are the two schools in the San Diego Area. The Teamsters offer one also but you must be a member from what I have discovered.

United's tuition is $4300 and been in business since 1978.
Western's tuition is $3500 and been in business since 1977.
Teamsters school's tuition is $3000.

I see the tuition cost as nothing more than an investment in my future. What I am unsure of is the future as a professional driver. Wish I had a crystal ball but then no one else does either so no biggie. I do like the idea of being free to pick a company and many of them seem to offer some tuition reimbursement which would be helpful but not a necessity in my situation.

Any graduates of either school care to enlighten us with some feedback it would be most welcome?

Johnhults here's your update sorry it took so long
United's tuition is $4300 (100.00 if you pay cash)
Western's tuition is $3500 For july special after that it goes up to
somewhere around $4300
so in that respect thier about the same
the two difference are
United is M-F all day anfd they have newer trucks
and Western truck are a little older but they do offer
M-F all day 4 weeks or M-F evening 8 weeks or
weekend's sat/sun 8 weeks to better fit someone schedule
if you are still working at the time you want to take the class.
If I was not working full time, I would go with United
but I'm working full time I think I going to go with Western

PS I went to both and they both seemed like great people.

 

Going to Western was one of the best month's of my life. Had a blast!

 

Did you go to western in San Diego?
