At the Saint Joseph's CDL Academy, we redefine excellence in CDL training with our quality equipment, small class sizes, experienced instructors, and curriculum designed for your success.

We provide a comprehensive learning experience that combines classroom excellence with hands-on training on real semis. 

Our classroom sessions delve deep into the intricacies of road regulations, vehicle mechanics, defensive driving techniques, and the fundamentals of road safety. You'll learn from industry experts who bring real-world experience into every lesson, ensuring you grasp both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. And our small class sizes mean you’ll have personalized instruction resulting in a better learning environment and more hands-on time behind the wheel.  You'll have ample opportunities to ask questions, receive immediate feedback, and collaborate closely with your peers.

Students then put their classroom knowledge to the test by getting behind the wheel for hands-on training. You'll be behind the wheel of a real semi, mastering maneuvers, perfecting vehicle inspections, and honing driving skills. This hands-on experience not only builds confidence, but also ensures the development of situational awareness needed to navigate any driving scenario safely.

Class A License
Class A licenses are required to drive semi-tractor trailers. While most Class A license holders drive semis, this license also allows you to drive vehicles listed below in the Class B License.

Class B License
Class B CDL drivers often drive delivery trucks, garbage trucks, and road work vehicles like cement mixers.

This course is for individuals who previously had a Class A CDL, but allowed it to lapse, as well as those with a restriction requiring manual transmission training.

Depending on your situation, you may need to take one or more of the following tests:
