Start training now. Pay over time.

Don't let your credit score stand between you and a trucking career. We partner with CREDEE so you can finance your CDL training - no credit check, instant approval, and payments that actually build your credit.

Your Path to Financial Freedom

Financing built for working people.

CREDEE isn't traditional lending where most applicants get turned down over a credit score. It's a payment-plan partner designed to get you approved and on the road - then help your credit grow while you train and start earning.

No Credit Check

Low score? No problem. CREDEE doesn't run a credit check and instantly approves about 95% of customers - even when traditional financing says no.

Instant Approval

No long applications and no fear of rejection. Most students are approved on the spot so you can lock in your start date the same day.

Build Your Credit

Your on-time payments are reported to the credit bureaus, so paying for training actually improves your credit score over time.

Up to 6 Months

Spread your tuition across an extended payment plan of up to six months instead of paying it all at once.

Get You Approved

CREDEE is a catch-all for drivers who don't qualify elsewhere or face other financial barriers. The goal is to say yes, not no.

Start in Weeks

With financing handled, you can begin your 160-hour course and be licensed and hireable in about four weeks.

Financed Pricing

What each program costs when financed.

These are the amounts financed through CREDEE. They differ from our cash tuition - financed plans include the cost of spreading your payments out over time. Choose your program below and your recruiter will confirm the exact terms at approval.

Good to Know

What financing covers - and what to plan for.

CREDEE financing is set up to cover your course tuition so the cost of getting licensed never has to be the reason you wait. Pick your program, get approved, and the price of training is handled across your payment plan instead of all at once.

A few costs sit outside tuition, and it helps to plan for them so there are no surprises. You'll want to budget for your DOT medical certificate (around $100), a $150 registration fee, DMV fees that vary by state, and housing from $125 per week if you need a place to stay during the four-week course. NC residents don't need a CDL permit to begin training - we walk you through the permit tests during the program.

A down payment may apply when you sign your CREDEE plan, and your final monthly amount is set by CREDEE at approval - the calculator above is an estimate to help you plan, not a quote. Want the full breakdown of cash tuition versus financed pricing and every student fee? It's all laid out on our funding options page, with nothing hidden.
