About Us

CDL Trucking Academy is a Commercial Driver Licensing school based in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, dedicated to training safe, professional Class A drivers who can operate confidently and communicate clearly on the job. We blend FMCSA Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) with truck-specific ESL (English as a Second Language) so graduates are test-ready and workplace-ready—from weigh stations and roadside inspections to docks and dispatch.

What we stand for

  • Safety & compliance first: Pre-trip, air brakes, HOS, and defensive driving—taught the right way.

  • Clear communication: Real trucking English for inspections, bills of lading, trip sheets, and radio/phone etiquette.

  • Hands-on learning: Small cohorts, yard maneuvers, road coaching, and mock tests.

  • Transparent pricing & integrity: No job or income guarantees—just honest training and support.

Our approach

  • 21-day accelerated program (≈160 hours): ELDT theory + behind-the-wheel practice.

  • Bilingual support: English/Spanish instruction and materials tailored to trucking scenarios.

  • Local roots: Training designed around Kentucky testing and industry expectations.
