This program prepares students for truck-driving jobs in only a month – start to finish. During that time, we train beginning students who have never even sat in a big rig cab, how to operate it safely under normal driving conditions.

While it is not as comprehensive in scope or curriculum , this CDL Now! Program answers the demand for a quick, but safe and effective training course, whose graduates are ready to drive 18-wheel trucks professionally.

Like our CDL Now Program, you’ll learn what you need to know to operate a big truck and get plenty of driving practice on our Training Grounds. And you’ll also learn in our classrooms the knowledge you’ll need to pass your Commercial Driver’s License exam and qualify for a truck driving career.

The CDL Now!

Many of our CDL Now! graduates have job offers already extended to them from one or more trucking firms by the time they receive their CDL. That’s because truckers are in such high demand due to the nationwide truck-driver shortage, and because of the great reputation of our school within the industry.

During thistraining program, you will have 180 total hours of training, including learning these topics in a classroom at our Training Grounds:

During the course, you’ll see recruiting presentations from various trucking firms that are interested in hiring our graduates.
