Truck Driving

Looking to start a career in the truck driving industry? Through Pima’s Center for Transportation Training, you can earn your Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in as little as 6.5 weeks, and receive comprehensive hands-on, on-the-road-training on the very trucks and trailers you’ll be driving. Program is compliant with Entry Level Driver Training federal rule.

Our professional truck driver training is very affordable, and we offer free career placement assistance. In fact, you may receive a job offer before you finish your training.

Students who have their Class A CDL can prepare for future jobs in the trucking industry by pursuing Pima’s Autonomous Vehicle Driver and Operations Specialist Certificate. This training program will provide you with the skills you need to work with self-driving trucks

Pima’s Class B CDL training program teaches students how to safely operate a vehicle that can carry 16 passengers or more.
