With our accelerated classes, you can be on the road and earning in as a little as four weeks. If you would like more information, contact us today. One of our advisors can explain how you can get your license and become a truck driver.

Truckers Are in High Demand

The most recent annual report from the American Trucking Associations (ATA) shows that there was a shortage of 60,800 drivers in 2018. This number could increase to 160,000 by 2028 if trends continue. What this means is that the trucking industry is in need of more qualified individuals to haul freight. As a result, many motor carriers are competing to offer signing bonuses, better benefits, and higher pay. You can earn more than $76,000 a year* after earning your CDL. There are also many different career options available to you. You can drive locally, regionally, or over-the-road, as well as choosing whether to work alone or with another driver. During and after your training, we are committed to helping you find the right path and succeed as a trucker. We offer job placement assistance and many of our students have job offers before graduation or shortly after.

Choosing a Trucking School

To decide which CDL school you want to attend, consider all the factors. It's important to do your research to find a school that will best fit your needs and goals. Here are some things to consider when choosing a truck driver training program:

Skilled Instructors

Our instructors at Phoenix Truck Driving Institute are former drivers who share their real-world experience with their students. This lets you learn from someone who has walked in your shoes.

Flexible Class Schedules

It can be tough to balance your life and your education. Many students in our program have full-time jobs or family obligations and we understand that you can't put these on hold to attend CDL classes. It is our goal to make it as easy as possible for you to earn your CDL, which is why we offer day, evening, and weekend classes.

Financing Your Education

Our advisors can help you determine what funding options you may have. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify.

Avoid Restrictions on Your CDL

We train our students with manual transmissions instead of automatic. As a result, you will not have this restriction on your license. We also cover material from the air brakes portion of the CDL test, so you will also avoid this restriction.

Military Benefits

Phoenix Truck Driving Institute is proud to be recognized as a Military Friendly School. Qualified veterans and those transitioning out of active service can use their GI Bill® benefits to obtain their license and prepare for a new career in the civilian workforce.

Our CDL Training Program

Our goal is to give students the tools they need to succeed in the trucking industry. We have different class schedules to meet your needs and also offer refresher courses and third-party road testing.
