Our Mission
Our mission is to provide top-quality, hands-on commercial driver license training focused on safety, practicality, and career success, consistent with FMCSA Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) standards under 49 CFR Part 380, Subpart F. As a truck driving school serving Sacramento and West Sacramento, we use experienced instructors and a supportive learning environment to empower students to achieve their CDL and build lasting careers in the transportation industry. See our Class A and Class B CDL Training Programs for the full curriculum.
Convenient Location
Our school is conveniently located in West Sacramento, CA, with easy on/off access to I-80 and Hwy 50. Due to our proximity to the West Sacramento DMV, our students have the advantage of learning to drive on DMV exam routes. Our separate classroom and yard locations allow for focused training.
Important Dates
Our school opened its doors in 2020 with just one truck and trailer. Individualized Training. Proficiency Before Testing. Every student receives ongoing 1 on 1 evaluations throughout training. Students are scheduled for the DMV skills test only after demonstrating the required proficiency in accordance with the school's training standards, consistent with FMCSA Entry-Level Driver Training requirements under 49 CFR Part 380, Subpart F.
Masterful Instruction
All instructors have a minimum of 15 years experience — from local deliveries in major cities throughout the U.S. to long distance across the country, OTR. Our commitment to our students is proven by our results — small class sizes and experienced instructors are what set our school apart. School Teaching Methods – Classroom or Open Air. Behind-the-wheel driving is one student, one instructor; certain observation, range, and transition sessions may include up to two students.
Flexible Scheduling
Our flexible and extended hours allow students to work around their busy schedules. We train 7 days a week from 7 AM to 9 PM.
Future Opportunities
We don't believe in short-term relationships — we build long-term partnerships. Our team works hard to create employment opportunities for all graduates. Upon graduation, job placement opportunities are offered to all students, including students with challenges. See our Employment Partners for examples of where our graduates go to work.
Our Focus
School focus is safety. Unlike other schools which are geared towards just getting a CDL, our truck driving school trains you to be a safe, competent professional driver ready for real-world challenges.
