Western Truck School in Santee, a veteran-owned CDL training provider operating on Prospect Avenue since 1963, prepares drivers for Class A, Class B, Passenger, School Bus, and Hazardous Materials endorsements across its three California campuses. The 160-clock-hour Class A program completes in four to eight weeks, producing graduates who enter the same commercial-vehicle sector serviced by California Coast Truck Repair on North Woodside Avenue. An advanced 330-hour tractor-trailer program adds 80 hours of expanded classroom instruction covering DOT safety regulations, health and wellness protocols, and over-the-road lifestyle management. All programs carry FMCSA Entry-Level Driver Training compliance and maintain small student-to-instructor ratios for behind-the-wheel range and public-road sessions — a training model that equips graduates for the commercial fleets maintained at Horsman Automotive on Railroad Avenue along Santee's Prospect Avenue industrial corridor. Class A CDL tuition runs $5,795 and the Class B program $4,795, with veteran-specific enrollment support for service members transitioning to civilian commercial driving careers through the Santee campus and sister locations in West Sacramento and Bakersfield.
