Truck Driver Training

Elite Truck School, located in Hillsboro, Oregon, is a leading institution dedicated to training individuals to become professional truck drivers through comprehensive Class A and Class B CDL training programs. With additional campuses in Portland, Albany, Eugene, and Vancouver, Washington, Elite Truck School has established itself as one of the premier truck driver training programs in the Pacific Northwest. Our school is VA-approved, emphasizing our commitment to providing quality training accessible to veterans, and many of our students qualify for grants and other financial assistance, making it easier for aspiring truck drivers to pursue their career goals.

As a full-time education provider, Elite Truck School offers an accelerated five-week Class A CDL training program designed to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to operate commercial trucks safely and effectively. This is not a contract or company-sponsored training program, which means we focus purely on education and skill-building to prepare students for successful careers in the trucking industry. We serve both men and women interested in a rewarding new career path that offers competitive earning potential and various opportunities for growth.

The Class A CDL training program at Elite Truck School is structured into three distinct phases: classroom instruction, CDL driving range, and road driving. This multi-faceted approach ensures that students gain a comprehensive understanding of truck driving safety, regulations, and hands-on driving experience. Our flexible scheduling includes both day and weekend classes, catering to a wide range of students’ needs and encouraging a balanced learning experience.

A standout feature of Elite Truck School is our strong connections with local, regional, and national trucking companies that actively recruit new drivers from our Hillsboro and Portland campuses. Through our pre-hire program, students can be pre-approved by trucking companies, receive training, and be job-ready in less than one month. Upon successful completion of the training, graduates can select from various driving career opportunities, including Over-The-Road (OTR), Regional, Dedicated, or Local truck driving positions, depending on their preferences and lifestyle.

For candidates entering our Class A CDL program, having a valid driver's license is essential, but no prior truck driving experience is required. This makes Elite Truck School an excellent starting point for those looking to enter the trucking industry regardless of their background. The earning potential is significant, with graduates expecting to earn between $54,000 and $66,000 annually in their first year alone, reflecting the high demand for qualified truck drivers across the country.

Our mission at Elite Truck School is to provide quality, accessible, and intensive training that prepares students not just to pass their CDL exams but to thrive in their truck driving careers. We are committed to supporting our students from enrollment through graduation and beyond, ensuring they have the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to succeed. Whether you are seeking a new career path, job stability, or a chance to join a vital industry with growing opportunities, Elite Truck School offers the training and support to help you achieve your goals.
