I recently graduated from Trucking 1 on 1, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The program made me feel confident and road-ready. Chuck and Dave are excellent instructors who are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about their students' success.

Why Choose 1 on 1 Truck Academy
1 on 1 CDL Training in Sacramento
Looking for an affordable CDL school near you? 1 on 1 Truck Academy is a BPPE-approved, FMCSA-registered truck driving school in West Sacramento — minutes from the DMV, open 7 days a week with evening and weekend classes. We teach Class A and Class B CDL training 1 on 1, and we serve students from Sacramento, Elk Grove, Davis, Woodland, Roseville and across the Central Valley. Here is how we compare to every other truck driving school around Sacramento.
Other Schools - Not Us
"FMCSA accredited" · "CDL in 7 days" · "100% pass rate" · "small class sizes" · "one-on-one training"
Speed kills.
That is the advertising. These are exempt schools — quantity training, under $2,500, not regulated by the state.
- More than 7,000 of these have been removed from the federal Training Provider Registry since December 2025, with around 10,000 more on notice — express programs, ghost addresses, falsified records. If yours goes, your training may not count
- Not regulated by the state. No BPPE approval, no BPPE inspection, no state standards to meet
- Quantity training — through the yard and out
- Group instruction. You wait your turn in the truck
- Speed is the product being sold, not skill
- Most will not enroll you until you already hold your learner's permit. "Go get your permit and come back" — you study for it alone, and sit the DMV written tests alone, with nobody teaching you the material
- CLP prep and ELDT theory farmed out to a third-party app or website. The teaching does not happen at the school — and those vendors sit on the same federal Registry, in the same sweep
- Pass-rate claims nobody audits or verifies
- No job placement. You finish, and you are on your own
- No certified proficiency training certificate or transcript — not the 120-hour record carriers and insurers ask for
- Some of their students have come to us afterward to make up the hours they never got
