Compare Before You Enroll

Shopping for a CDL school? Ask every school these four questions — including us:

“What’s the full tuition, in writing?” Ours is $4,950 for Class A, published right here. If a school won’t tell you the price until you visit, ask yourself why.

“How many students share an instructor?” Ours is 3. Crowded classes mean less time behind the wheel.

“What truck do I test in?” You train and test in our school trucks — no borrowing, no renting.

“What if I need more practice?” Extra training time is free. You don’t pay more for needing another day in the yard.
