Programs & tuition
Every program is taught by the same instructors on the same equipment. The difference is what you're licensed to drive at the end and how many hours it takes to get you there.
Most popular
The license that opens the most doors: tractor-trailers, over-the-road, regional, flatbed, reefer and tanker work.
$6,450 / 80 hours over 2 weeks
Local work
$3,950 / 40 hours over 1 week
For dump trucks, box trucks, garbage and utility trucks, transit and municipal vehicles. Class B drivers are home every night, which is why a lot of Treasure Valley students choose it.
Back in the seat
from $1,200 / hourly blocks
For drivers who let a license lapse, changed careers and came back, or hold a permit and just need hours and a truck to test in.
Add-ons
Tanker, doubles and triples, hazmat, passenger and school bus. Study materials and coaching are included free with any full course, or $250 per endorsement on their own. Testing and background-check fees are paid to the state and TSA.
No surprises
We would rather you saw the whole number now than found it in week three.

Paying for training
Four routes cover the majority of our enrollments. We'll help you find out which ones you qualify for before you commit — bring your questions when you sign up.
WIOA funding through the Idaho Department of Labor can cover training for eligible job seekers. Approval takes a few weeks, so start it before you pick a class date.
Many veterans use GI Bill education benefits or Veteran Readiness and Employment for CDL training. Bring your certificate of eligibility and we'll take it from there.
Several regional carriers pay tuition up front in exchange for a work commitment after you're licensed. Read the contract carefully — we'll read it with you.
A deposit holds your seat, and the balance splits across the course. No interest, no third-party lender, no credit check.
A note on funding claims. Eligibility for grants and benefits is decided by the agency, not by us, and program rules change. We'll help you apply and tell you what we've seen work, but we can't promise an approval.
Start dates
Seats are capped at twelve, and the popular months — spring and early fall — fill four to six weeks out.
Because the course is only two weeks, we hold your start date until your permit appointment is booked — that fourteen-day federal clock has to be running before day one.
Evening and weekend cohorts start at the beginning of each month. Refresher hours can usually start within a week of your assessment drive.
Tell us which program you're looking at and we'll send back the next three start dates with seats left.
