Our Students Drive Our Success!
Both Robert and Dale were laid off from their jobs but luckily found the Yuma Private Industry Council (YPIC) to help them find work by setting them up with proper training programs. California Career School worked with YPIC to put both of these men in the commercial truck program in order to successfully earn the training needed for an industry with many job openings.

“CRST is experiencing an exciting period of growth at this time in our company, and needs to add approximately 600 drivers to our fleet in the next twelve months. To meet this need, we hire both experienced drivers and recent truck school graduates. When we hire graduates from truck schools, it is extremely important that we hire from the best schools in the country. California Career School is one of those schools.
In the times that I have visited this school, I have been quite impressed by the quality, caliber and professionalism of the staff and the facilities. We have hired many of their graduates and they have turned out to be excellent drivers for our company. In fact, in my 15 years of recruiting experience I would say that this has consistently been one of the top two truck schools in all of southern California, and that is quite an accomplishment.

“Hello, my name is Joe Droegemeier. I am retired from the US Army with 20 years of service and like most vets, I didn’t really know what I wanted to get into. I had little over a year to go when I received a call from Geoff Berner (Counselor California Career School) presenting me with the idea of driving a truck once I retired from the Army.
I began training with the California Career School while I was still on active duty with the Army. California Career School allowed me to do my training on weekends (military personnel only) up until the time I was ready to test at the DMV. I was also able to use tuition assistance through the military and the company i drove for paid back my portion of what was left after tuition assistance.
After driving over the road, I now drive local and see my family every night.
Joe Droegemeier”

Joshua Beall graduated California Career School in Yuma, AZ back in the beginning of October 2010 and went to work for C. R. England and has chosen to stay out on the road to get more experience.
In February 2011, Joshua leased his first truck, a 2010 Freightliner, and became an Owner Operator.
Congratulations Joshua!

My experience working with California Career Schools graduates has always been very positive. CCS carefully reviews each student applicant to ensure that they meet the requirements of carriers. Students are well informed about the career path they have chosen and have been trained to be safe and successful drivers.”

As am I writing at this very moment, James Kilkelly is taking his commercial driver’s test for his Class B license out in Yuma, AZ. Donald Jacobs, our instructor, called to let us know that James passed his Class A test yesterday and that he was quite ready for his Class B right away.
In a few hours, I should be able to find out about Mr. Kilkelly’s results. So in the meantime, he’s given us a few words to share with any prospective students interested in commercial truck driving!
