This structured training program is designed to help you prepare for your Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP), develop your driving skills, and work toward earning your CDL-A.

No obligation to work for the company after completing training. Your CDL-A is an investment in your future and can open doors to opportunities throughout the trucking industry.

Tuition & Payment Structure

The program is designed to make CDL-A training more accessible through a structured payment arrangement.

• Total tuition: $7,995

• Company tuition payoff: After the 52-week deduction period, the company pays the remaining tuition balance, subject to the program's terms.

Tuition Reimbursement Opportunity

For students who choose to continue their careers with the company, additional tuition reimbursement is available.

Students who remain with the company for the full 2.5-year qualifying period will begin receiving tuition reimbursement in week 54, at $50 per week through week 78, in accordance with the program's terms.

This offers an additional financial benefit for those who choose to build their careers with the company over the long term.

What You'll Need to Budget For

Although tuition payments are structured to reduce the initial financial barrier, students are responsible for certain additional expenses:

Please plan for these expenses before beginning the Academy.
