I just graduated and passed my DMV test today, first time.
Class started on July 1st and just ended today. You do 3 days inside classroom, and then the rest of the time its driving and skills. There were 7 of us and 2 instructors and 2 tractor/trailers. One conventional and one cabover, both with sleepers. I got lucky and ended up spending time in both trucks. We also drove with 40' trailers and did our skills with them. Both driving instructors, Mike and Alex were great, learned alot from them and the two inside class instructors, Tim and Bob made things interesting, and we learned alot from them. The best part is that the backup lot is down the street from the classroom on Mere Island. The best part is that the Vallejo DMV uses the lot for the skills test for all of the other schools.
You need to have your class A permit and med card before class starts or you cant drive on the road. They give you study guides for the temp exam and all of the endorsements. I have my 3 endorsements. I probably logged around 500 miles for the month, and did the skills too many times to remember. Cost is $3500.00, and Suzanne partner/office mngr will assist you in finding a job
