Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re thinking about beginning a new career as a truck driver, AAA School of Trucking is the best and fastest way to go. Like many of our students, you may have questions about how to start the process. We’ve heard and answered them all, over decades of personalized reviews. Below reads some commonly asked questions and answers. Please follow up by calling us so we can walk you through your personal situation and guide you on the best path to success.

How do I get a CDL? – Click here to read more

In 2022, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rolled out a permanent national law for Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT) that mandates all new potential commercial drivers attend a properly licensed and approved CDL training school. That means classroom instruction, hands-on training behind the wheel and testing for licensing – you’ve got to do this in person, and do all parts of it. We’ve offered these services above and beyond all standards for over 25 years. We provide everything in-house as a one-stop shop with no waitlists.

How can I pay for CDL training? – Click here to read more

Since 1997, we’ve developed many ways to make this work for our students. In some cases, tuition may be free, depending on your situation and current public or private funding resources available. AAA also offers other immediate and convenient ways to manage the cost of training and testing, including expanded financing options that fit your budget and timeframe. We’ll help you navigate all of your choices- give us a call for an in-depth review. And remember, your CDL is a recession proof and high demand license that will immediately start paying for itself.

I am in a rush for a new career- how long does it take and what can I make? – Click here to read more

You can start your classes any Monday with AAA. Our classes are small and personalized, with custom scheduling. We provide current materials and job relevant equipment to prepare you for real careers. In as little as four weeks, you could start earning money with your CDL. New CDL drivers average around $50k annually, and within only a year or two many can earn $100k+ based on the cargo and schedule they take on. Our students get letters of pre-hire before even graduating, and we guide them to “right fit” employment! Best of all, we give you lifetime job placement assistance in this recession proof industry.

I have issues in my criminal or driving background, will this be a problem ? – Click here to read more

This is usually best reviewed case by case but do not be discouraged! In general, the historical demand for CDL drivers is so high that the barrier is low or often flexible. We have seen, and helped, countless individuals overcome past obstacles and arrive at new futures. Give us a call to review your personal scenario – we will give you unbiased guidance.

Can’t I just train online, or with my friend/coworker? This one back-alley guy with a truck promised me to get my CDL in two days? Why isn’t this like getting your basic driver’s license? – Click here to read more

Be careful of empty promises of shortcuts or loopholes. Government regulations mandate you get certified training which includes in person (not online) components, and that schools be approved and audited regularly. However, like many industries, there are still bad apples in the way of partial or unapproved entities, or worse yet, approved ones that break all the rules for a while until caught. With such high demand for drivers, many unlicensed trainers, quota-driven corporate chain schools, and questionable new companies are out there trying to cash in. If you check into it, you may just be getting their “word” instead of 3rd party approvals and certifications and verified experience. Over the long years, AAA has seen scores of people retroactively lose their CDLs from when bad trainers get shut down! AAA has been here for decades as a second-generation, family-owned business. We have a steady and proven track record of certified, approved, safe and dedicated training and job placement!
