AllWin Trucking School

Never heard of that school but that dosnt mean anything. If they are lagit then it will save you a couple of grand that a trucking company would charge you over a period of six months to a year. Either way wherever you go you will hve to be with a trainer for a few weeks befor you get your own truck. If they get you your drivers license and a cirtificate of completion then you should be good to go. Concentrate on shifting and backing, the rest comes when you get with your trainer. Well, it all comes when you get with your trainer its just alot easyer if you can at least shift they gears without dropping the trani. and have a good grasp on backing a trailer. Do that and your half way there. Peace.

 

They are totally MIS-MANAGED..they fired the only certified instructor because he asked for his paycheck ( it was a week overdue)..he was the ONLY one there who had ANY trucking experience,and held the place together..they have one old beat up Freightliner that is broken down,most of the time.Most of the new students leave within the first week,without learning,and without their money.The owners daughter is on a power trip,and likes believe she is superior to everyone because she is hindu,and has a two year online degree in business.Stay way from this place.

 

I am a former student of Allwin Trucking School from Santa Rosa,CA. Honestly, it is a great school. They arranged great accomodation for me at a cheap price, they also finished my training in a short time understanding my urgency to go back home. The owners are really nice too, very co-operative and they take personal interest in the school's future, not like other schools where the owners dont even care.....the price is right....$750 for a 4 week training is the cheapest price I found in the market. Its a good school & I recommend Allwin Trucking School to every student out there looking for the right oppurtunity.

 

No one has ever competed Allwin ON TIME..most of the time,something is wrong with the truck..and at 16/1 student to instructor ratio in the yard,your not receiving much one on one time/behind the wheel time with the instructor,who,I might add,is not a qualified instructor,just a truck driver who was burnt out on OTR..I'm speaking of Mac,who is a nice guy,but not a QUALIFIED instructor..neither is Kashaul,who is teaching in the classroom..she has never been in a truck..she puts on a dvd for the students,or has them read,while she is in the outer office making phone calls..the "new" school facilities are an office trailer with room for four student desks in back of a trucking business in between two dairies..it's NOT very nice..You dont believe me?..go to the school and have a look..ask for some phone numbers of graduates..there are not very many of them..and they are not happy.
