If you are looking for a school to get your class ...

If you are looking for a school to get your class A stay away from this school, there are way better options for schools around the LA are. I attended this school about two months back. What caught my attention and made me go for this school was that they offer one on one training with an instructor. The price also did not sound bad at the time. I ended up going with their 20 hour deal and two attempts at the DMV. I completed my 20 hours and failed both times at the DMV. After my two tries at the DMV you have to pay additional $250 so they can take you to the DMV again something I did not do because of all the negative things I found with this school. At the end I talked to one of the girls at this school and seemed sorry and worried about my complaints and told me she would send all my complaints to her boss but never got a response from them, or a sorry you had a bad experience, seems like they took what i had to say and went straight to the trash.

Yes this school does have one on one training with instructors but for limited hours, I found out a bit too late that there are other schools that also offer one on one training but for unlimited hours, until you pass and for the same price, something I highly suggest. I found a school that offered to take me to the DMV for my third attempt (passed) for half the price and also the next day, not a month later like this school does. Every time this school has to book you an appointment it s always a month away and in that month you can easily forget the little you have learned.
Here are some pros and cons I personally experienced with this school.

Pros:
-They offer extended hours.
-They offer some payment plans.
-They are Bilingual.

Cons:
-Their instructors are not all on the same page as far as what the DMV expects. For example one instructor told me that I did not have to mention the pedals on the pre inspection trip and a different instructor told me that you do, they contradict themselves. This happed with many things that you must do or say on the behind the wheel test.
- If you decide to go with this school I extremely recommend to stay away from their night classes since their yard has very little light, I was pretty much doing maneuvers in the dark.
- Instructors tend to do or waist time, time you are paying a pretty penny for. Example I was taken out to drive and the instructor told me to park while he went to go buy coffee and doughnuts, on time I was paying for.
- their material is not updated, instead of them taking the time and money to change and update material all they say is oh you don t have to mention this or this or this so on and so forth besides the material you have to memories there is also material you have to remember you don t have to learn making it more difficult for students.
- Their trucks are not in the best condition. I almost failed my air break inspection because their truck was losing more than 5 PSI on one of the test, when you cannot lose more than 4 PSI.
- The instructor that takes you to the DMV is the worst of the worst rude, unprofessional careless and very negative. When I went to the DMV I was asking him questions before my test so I could refresh my memory and he told me rudely told me if you didn t bring me breakfast you cannot be asking me any questions much help!
-I noticed that if your hours are up and you look like you will not have a chance to pass the behind the wheel test they do not care and will take you anyways instead of telling you, hey you don t look good for the test its best if you practice some more instead of them taking you and wasting one try at the DMV.]
- There are way more negative things that I found with this school, I think I got my point across. Ill mention it again if you are looking into getting your class A save your money and go pay a school that will truly care for your future. There are way better schools with better deals. I highly recommend to get a school that will take you to the DMV until you get your license.

I can't recommend this place enough. As a neophyte in regards to driving a manual transmission, they were able to train me all the way to my A Class. Shout outs to Juan and Sergio for being as patient as humans could possibly be!

I want to thank all the staff that works at GSF for their very kind, friendly and very professional attention. Mainly the instructors which helped me a lot for me to be able to get my Class A license. THANK YOU.

I recently passed my cdl test at the dmv my 1st attempt. The teachers Jeffrey and Alfonzo were great instructors I don t want to putt down any other schools because some are good but the way I learned at gsf allowed me to be the only one that day at the dmv out of 30 drivers that could parallel park.studying and following the exact way the teachers teach you will let you pass with no mistakes just like I did. Thanks gsf I highly recommend you !!

Best school for trucking. You have to do your part on learning but they give you all you need to pass. I passed on my first try even the dmv road test. Also helped me find a job for unexperienced driver.
Best school compared to other schools with 5 people per one truck.

I highly recommend this school. I knew nothing about truck driving and they helped every step of the way! It was my first and only school and I m glad I chose GSF! All the instructors really care about you passing and they give so many helpful tips. Elmer was patient and had the great idea of recording me so I would remember the inspection. Jeffrey gave me a lot of helpful tips and urged me to study extra hard and I would pass which I did!! Christian gave great instructions as well. The office staff helped me get all the paper work in order, Carlos and Cindy made sure all my appointment were in order and didn t miss a date. Of course Edna introduced me and reassured me from the get go that I will succeed and instead of getting a class B license she said get a class A instead! Sure enough I got it. Thank you gsf for making it a smooth process I will recommended to everyone I know!!!

Gsf is amazing. I came to this school because I had issues with another school I was not learning anything at all. Tania in the office did everything in her power to make everything accommodating, I even changed up my schedule on her and she fixed it on the fly. Also Alfonso my instructor was awesome he made sure I knew my pretrip the right way and told me everytime I was making a mistake. Overall the school really wants you to pass and they do everything to make that possible and it's great. Thank you gsf because of you guys I have my class A :). Highly recommend this school.

Awesome school! I was shopping around for a school in March but never good a good vibe from most of the schools I was looking at. When I called GSF to get more info they were very detailed about the process and how they operate. Yes, they were more expensive than the other schools I was looking at but honestly, you can't beat that One on One training. The other schools were group training and just a few hundred dollars cheaper. Anyhoot, my training started on May 14th and I received my drivers license on June 1...YES THAT QUICK!!! The team they have over there really kick ass. Thanks GSF!!

Be aware people. This is not a school, it's a scam...

Be aware people. This is not a school, it's a scam and deceptive company that steals money on broad day light. They will give you some papers to study but those papers are already available on DMV website and booklets. You can use those available resources and get the permit. Pls. Make sure you take pictures the papers your signing in. They will purposely extends the process so that they will milk cow your money. They have taken $1700 from me without justfication. I went there with my permit and paid them upfront $3000 for 20 hrs behind the while training. The trainer they assigned me, speaks spanish (which I dont have problem) but he doesnt speak english and I didnt understand him. Also, they told me I need to add more hours and pay more money. It was hard for me to continue so I asked them two cancel the contract. They said they will only reimburse my money $1300. They said I haven't canceld it within 48 hours but I'm taking this to the court to battle it out. I have cancelled the contract on time. I will subsantiate that in court. Its laughable and quite pathetic that you have to fabricate a lie that I have insulted staff. I never had any issue with the staff or management. Your pathetic liar.

My PERSONAL 0PION OF THIS SCHOOL FROM MY EXPERIENCE IS THE INSTRUCTORS WORK VERY CLOSE TO THEIR STUDENTS TO MAKE SURE THEY FULLY UNDERSTAND TRAINING OF PARTS & DRIVING SKILLS.

I had a great experience here. Everyone from Carlos at the front desk to Edna(the boss) and all the instructors (Alfonso, Walter and Jeffery) in the yard were helpful with every question i had. Always make sure to squeeze as much knowledge out of them and don't be afraid to pick their brains for as much info as needed.

What's a review without some recommend tips?

Only thing I recommend is lightning. The lighting at the yard wasn't all that good, but in reality there will always be some dark places where you will have to park your rig. So remember your training. Thanks again guys!

This school is highly recommended to anyone who wants to pass, if I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thanks to everyone at GSF trucking for the opportunity....

If you are looking to obtain your Class A license, I highly recommend GSF trucking school. I quit my last job to work in the trucking industry but didn t have a clue how to get my license or how to pass my exam. GSF really is a great school to attend because they have one on one training, you have a great teachers that answer any questions you have, especially if you don t know anything like I did about this trucking stuff. Glad to say that I passed my exam and now I m working a good job in trucking.

Rip off school. They claim to help you find a job to use your license only to find out nobody will hire you without 2 years trucking experience which you can t get since you just got your license. Scam school. Plus they make refunds difficult to obtain for double purchases which should have not been taken in the first place. Edna is a bad business owner.
