Why Class A<\/span><\/p>\n

The license that opens the most doors.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

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:<\/p>\n

<\/iconify-icon> Tractor-trailers – semis, big rigs, eighteen-wheelers<\/div>\n
<\/iconify-icon> Tanker vehicles<\/div>\n
<\/iconify-icon> Flatbeds<\/div>\n
<\/iconify-icon> Livestock carriers<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Class A Advantage<\/span><\/p>\n

More versatility. More pay. More jobs.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/iconify-icon><\/div>\n

Versatility<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/iconify-icon><\/div>\n

Higher Earning Potential<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/iconify-icon><\/div>\n

More Job Opportunities<\/h3>\n

From local hauls to cross-country freight, a Class A unlocks the broadest pool of openings – including the routes that pay best.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/iconify-icon><\/div>\n

Career Advancement<\/h3>\n

Many carriers prefer – or require – a Class A for their top positions, so your license keeps paying off as you move up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Our curriculum meets the federal Entry-Level Driver Training standard required for every first-time CDL since February 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Who This Is For<\/span><\/p>\n

ELDT requirements & your NC permit.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/iconify-icon> NC residents:<\/strong> a CDL permit is NOT required to start training.<\/div>\n
<\/iconify-icon> Want a permit anyway? Pass General Knowledge, Combination & Air Brakes.<\/div>\n
<\/iconify-icon> We guide you through every test during the course.<\/div>\n

Drivers who held a valid CDL or CLP before Feb 7, 2022 are not subject to ELDT.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
