1. How do I apply or get started with my application?

It’s as easy as a phone call or an email. Contact us and let us know you are ready to apply for our truck driving program. We will send you a handy checklist of what we will need from you. There is no long contract to sign or high pressure sales to deal with. It’s your decision to make.

The qualifications include: 21 years old to drive interstate, high School Graduate or GED (non-graduates can take a placement test), valid driver's license, currently free of serious motor vehicle or criminal offenses and be able to pass a DOT physical and drug screening.


2. How much does the program cost?

The tuition is $3,400. The only other costs are physical/drug testing $110, and CDL $80 to $120 (depending on endorsements and years of issue).


3. I don't live in North Carolina. Is the cost higher?

No. We have many students from outside North Carolina. The cost is the same for our truck driving school. The only additional charge would be converting your license to the state you want to live in after you graduate.


4. Can I use my VA benefits with your truck driving training?

At this time you cannot apply VA benefits to our truck driver program. We have applied for approval and are awaiting a decision.


5. How long does it take to finish the truck driving school and start working?

The day time program is completed in 5 weeks. The evening program can be finished in 8 weeks. Your actual time will depend on how quickly you pass the CDL exam. Most students pass it the first time. If you need more time to prepare for or finish the CDL exam we will work with you.


6. Where are you located?

Our truck driving training is located in the Southwestern part of North Carolina in Spindale, NC. Our rural location allows us to use a variety of roads and conditions. You have easy access to Charlotte, Asheville, and Hickory, North Carolina as well as Spartanburg/Greenville, South Carolina.


7. What about job placement?

If you want to work, we will help you find the job you want. Over 24 companies are currently hiring our graduates. It’s important that when you finish our truck school you find a good job.
