Marine Looking for Career Change

Update!

James passed bus today, Wednesday, March 2, 2011! He is now both a Class A and Class B driver. CCS wishes him a big congratulations and a thank you to Don for making sure that his training went smoothly!

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!

Here’s a sample of what you learn from California Career School instruction!

Veteran’s Day in Yuma AZ

In commemoration of Veteran’s Day, our Yuma trucking students decided to share a few words:

– Saul Solis

– Carlos Lopez

– Alberto Sotelo

Today is one of many days to take the time to thank our troops for the innumerable sacrifices that they have made throughout all of these years. Thanks to all who gave their all and more. We support our troops.

Moving Day Update

Our Oceanside instructor Jose Ballesteros went down to the Hyatt Huntington Beach Hotel for the 3rd time yesterday to continue the furniture move coordinated with Liz Diaz at Camp Pendleton’s Family Readiness Center.

According to Miss Diaz, one trailer will definitely not fit what will be transported this Wednesday. She has asked if we will be available again today. More updates later on the event!

Here are a few clips from the previous trips taken by one of our students with his phone:

Helping Marines At The Hyatt

On September 24 and October 8 of this year, Camp Pendleton’s Family Readiness Center combined efforts with California Career School’s drivers and the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach to bring this furniture donation effort to fruition.

Where was this furniture going? To the Family Readiness Center at Camp Pendleton to be donated to Marine families in need of furniture to set up their households.

CCS instructor Jose Ballesteros worked with 15-20 Marines and 1 student during each visit to the Hyatt to load up furniture into one of our trailers for transportation to Camp Pendleton. Having previously worked as a supervisor in a shipping company for 2 years, Mr. Ballesteros communicated the proper way to load up furniture as compactly and safely as possible, thus enriching the training for the participating students Soane Langi and Wayne Pak scheduled to graduate this year.

During the first visit, over 2/3 of the trailer was full. However, the second visit proved even more successful – the efforts of the Marines and drivers completely packed the trailer and, according to Mr. Ballesteros, there was still more furniture left over. With such a high volume of material, there could be no doubt that the furniture would be helping a significant number of families settle into their homes.

Furniture Transported on Day 2:
50+ mattresses
10-15 couches
70+ chairs
40-50 tables
100 lamps
80+ nightstands
8-9 TVs

Many thank yous to Camp Pendleton Family Readiness Center, USMC, Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach, Jose, Soane, and Wayne for making this happen!

Trucking Graduate Finds Work

After graduating in March of this year, our student Mr. Wade Wright came to visit us very recently to talk about his employment.

To help students like Wade, our school provides national job placement assistance during and after training. Our placement office is here to support current students and alumni in resume writing, interview preparation, and networking with companies that are already hiring our graduates fresh out of class.

Additionally, this is offered on a national level. What does this mean? It means that students and graduates going home to other parts of the country will not miss out on our help in finding a career. Even years after graduation, our alumni may give us a call if they are looking for a position in the commercial driving industry in any location across the US.

Again, we would like to thank Wade for coming down to our Anaheim location and we wish him well in the rest of his endeavors. Thanks Wade!

Steve’s Notes from attending our

Truck Driving School Orange County California

“I came to California Career School in March of 2009 and completed the Commercial Truck Driving class. I had been working as a parts manager for the last 8 years and was laid off when my company downsized. I went to the Work Force center looking for help to get back into the job market. Since I had driven a truck many years ago, I decided I would like to get my class A license again. I knew I needed to be retrained, so I chose California Career School because I had been to the school for a visit. As soon as I saw the Kenworth 10 gear trucks with the full size 48 foot trailers, I knew this was the school for me. My training was 240 hours and the instructors prepared me for an immediate pass on my first time at the DMV.

After I got my CDL, I was turned down by several companies because I guess they thought I was too old. The school’s placement department kept working with me until I found a job with Legacy Transportation making an awesome salary. I’m very impressed by all the caring staff at the school. Everyone there encouraged me during my training and celebrated my final success.”

Thank you California Career School for all your help,
Steve Welton
