Ventura County trucking academy

“I know what it feels like to be stuck with no direction. Trucking was my way out, my second chance, and it became the career that gave me freedom. I built this school to give you that same hope. I started with nothing , no diploma, no college, no backup plan. Trucking gave me hope, doubled my income, and opened doors I never thought possible. Now I’m showing others how to do the same."    - Juan Candelario Jr. / School Director
