A straight shot north on I-26 brings Henderson County drivers to our Candler yard in about 30 minutes. Class A and Class B training, on-site testing, and a job at the finish - worth the short drive.
From downtown Hendersonville or anywhere along US-25, take I-26 West to the I-40 split and head toward Asheville. Exit onto Smokey Park Hwy and you'll roll up to 2379 Smokey Park Hwy in roughly half an hour. Coming from Flat Rock, Fletcher or Mills River? You're even closer.
Henderson County is apple country, manufacturing and a growing freight base around the airport corridor. A CDL opens local hauling, regional runs out of the I-26 corridor, and over-the-road work that pays well - all reachable from where you already live.
The Class A program is a full 160-hour course over about four weeks - classroom theory, range work, and real highway miles. It's ELDT-compliant, so it meets the federal standard for your first CDL, and it's built so you finish ready for the permit tests, pre-trip and road test.
Our own tractor-trailers and full cone range - the hours you log here are real seat time.
3rd-party CDL skills testing right at our yard: $250 with your equipment, $500 with ours.
CREDEE - no credit check, instant approval for most, plans up to 6 months that build credit.
Matched with carriers through Owner Operator Land, hiring drivers since 2018 with no fees.
NC residents begin training before getting a CDL permit - we walk you through the tests.
Tractor-trailers, tankers and flatbeds - the widest range of trucking work.
Dump trucks, box trucks and buses over 26,000 lbs GVWR.
Pre-trip, backing and road test administered on-site.
