A Class A CDL lets you operate any combination of vehicles with a gross combination weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 lbs or more, where the towed unit is heavier than 10,000 lbs. That covers the trucks that move America:
Whether you are starting fresh or upgrading from a Class B, our program is built to get you fully prepared for the permit tests, the pre-trip inspection and the road test.
A Class A CDL lets you operate a far wider variety of commercial vehicles than a Class B - so you are never boxed into one type of job.
Class A drivers commonly earn more thanks to larger, more complex equipment and long-haul routes. New NC drivers often start around $50k-$70k+/yr.
From local hauls to cross-country freight, a Class A unlocks the broadest pool of openings - including the routes that pay best.
Many carriers prefer - or require - a Class A for their top positions, so your license keeps paying off as you move up.
Our curriculum meets the federal Entry-Level Driver Training standard required for every first-time CDL since February 2022.
Seasoned professionals with years behind the wheel guide every classroom hour and every mile of range and highway work.
Cash price for the full 160-hour, 4-week program. Financing through CREDEE is available with no credit check.
Train on an automatic-transmission tractor-trailer. The fastest, most popular path to your Class A.

A complete Class A program built around real equipment: classroom theory, range work, and genuine highway miles behind the wheel - structured so you finish prepared for every test the DMV throws at you.
Because the course includes 3 hours of night-time driving, please allow at least one day for an afternoon session.
Federal Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) sets the minimum training standard for new commercial drivers. You are subject to ELDT if you are applying for a Class A or Class B CDL for the first time, upgrading your CDL, or earning an H, P, or S endorsement for the first time. Our program is fully ELDT-compliant.
Drivers who held a valid CDL or CLP before Feb 7, 2022 are not subject to ELDT.
These are separate from tuition - the standard costs every new CDL driver pays.
All trainees must obtain their DOT Medical Certificate before being approved and scheduled for training.
