All students must pass a mandatory drug screening before starting training. If a student receives a positive result, they may appeal at their own expense. We will place your training on hold until you provide a verified negative result.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old to enroll. However, drivers under the age of 21 are restricted by federal law and may not obtain a Hazardous Materials (HazMat) endorsement or operate commercial vehicles outside the state of California.
Having a criminal history does not automatically disqualify you from enrollment. Applicants with a felony must disclose all past criminal activity during admissions. If they don’t, Camino Real Trucking School will take corrective action. Failure to provide this information may result in corrective action. If you have a felony, you must obtain a Pre-Hire Letter of Intent from a prospective employer before beginning training. Please note that job placement opportunities may be limited for applicants with a criminal record, and enrollment will be contingent on securing a Pre-Hire. Failure to honor the Pre-Hire agreement will result in corrective action.
Camino Real Trucking School does not participate in articulation or transfer agreements with other colleges or universities.
All applicants must complete an admissions application, assessment test and meet with an Admissions Representative prior to enrollment.
