Most students complete training and are ready to test in just 4 to 6 weeks. Our 160 hour program is built around one goal: getting you into a truck and earning a paycheck as quickly as possible, without skipping the training you actually need to drive safely and pass with confidence. There is no wasted time in our classroom, and no filler content in our curriculum. Every hour is spent preparing you for the road.
You will not be lost in a giant classroom full of strangers with an instructor who barely knows your name. Our program is intentionally kept small and built around one goal: making sure every student gets real instructor attention and real time behind the wheel, not just a seat in a crowded room. There is no getting overlooked, and no falling through the cracks. Every student is trained like they are the only one in the room.
Most CDL schools will not even talk to you until you already have a permit in hand. That single requirement stops a lot of serious, motivated people before they ever get started. We do things differently. You can enroll first, and once you are in our program, we walk you through exactly how to get your permit, including the study materials you need to pass. You will never be left guessing what to do next.
A license by itself does not pay rent or put food on the table. A job does. That is why our program does not stop the moment you pass your test. We help every graduate get hired by connecting them with our trucking company partners, who are actively looking for new drivers across a variety of freight types, including dry van, Amazon relay, and step deck trailers. Drivers who come through our program and get placed with a partner company typically go on to earn between $4,000 and $7,000 a month.
Tuition is often the single biggest obstacle standing between someone and a new career. Money is. That is why our program does not require you to have it all upfront. We partner with trucking companies who are willing to cover a student's tuition, in exchange for you agreeing to work for that company for an agreed period after graduation, with your tuition paid back gradually through your paychecks. Students who come through our program this way typically start driving and earning without ever needing thousands of dollars sitting in a bank account.

Most CDL schools hand you a certificate and send you on your way, hoping you figure out the rest. We do not operate that way. Here is what makes ProDriver different.
We offer personal, hands on instruction instead of a crowded classroom where you are just another number on a roster, lost among strangers. We help you get your permit rather than putting up a wall that stops you before training has even begun, so you can start learning right away. We give you a real path to employment once you graduate, not just a piece of paper and a handshake, by connecting you directly with trucking company partners who are actively hiring. We provide flexible tuition options, including a financing path through our trucking company partners, for students who cannot pay the full amount upfront and need a real way to make this career happen. And because we never send a student to take their exam before they are truly ready, our students maintain a pass rate of roughly 90 percent or higher on their first attempt, walking in prepared and walking out confident.

We built this school because too many people who wanted a better future kept getting turned away by requirements that had nothing to do with whether they would make a great driver. We wanted to remove those barriers completely.

Our core program consists of 160 hours of classroom instruction and behind the wheel training, delivered on a fleet of 10 trucks, including 9 automatic and 1 manual transmission vehicle, preparing you fully for your Class A exam.


Once you graduate, we help connect you with trucking company partners who are actively hiring across multiple freight types, so your training leads to a real paycheck, not just a certificate.

Qualifying students can have their tuition covered upfront by one of our trucking company partners, then repay it gradually through future paychecks once they are working.

5 Simple Steps to Start Your New Trucking Career
Pay a $500 deposit to lock in your spot in the next available class. Seats are limited, so we recommend reserving yours as early as possible.
If you already have your permit, you can move straight into training. If you do not, our team will guide you through everything you need to get one, including providing the study materials to help you pass.
Over the course of 4 to 6 weeks, you will complete 160 hours of classroom instruction and hands-on driving practice, Monday through Friday, with instructors who make sure you actually understand the material rather than just memorizing it.
We never rush a student to the exam before they are ready. Once your instructors confirm you are fully prepared, you will head to the DMV to take your Class A CDL exam.
After graduation, our team helps connect you with trucking company partners who are hiring. Drivers placed through our network typically go on to earn between $4,000 and $7,000 a month.
