Schedule a meeting with one of our representatives to gain comprehensive insights into this option.

Employer-Sponsored Funding

Certain companies provide tuition assistance programs for their current employees. Reach out to your HR Department or Supervisor for detailed information. If your current employer is involved in the trucking industry, they might be open to training you for a promotion.

There are no third-party loan entities or high-interest loan companies involved; you work directly with us.

Lending Partners

We have established partnerships with multiple CDL school-specific lending companies, offering a variety of financing options. Approval does not necessarily hinge on having perfect or good credit. For more information, speak to our school director.
