Why Choose Our 4-Week Class A CDL Program?

Most CDL schools rush students through in 3 weeks or less. At Midwest Truck Driving School, we believe more practice = better drivers.

Our 160-hour, 4-week program is designed with a gradual learning curve, extra repetition on critical skills, and significantly more behind-the-wheel time than accelerated programs. This means higher pass rates and drivers who are truly ready for the road.

What You’ll Master:

• Classroom Theory (40+ hours): FMCSA regulations, safety procedures, hours of service, trip planning, vehicle systems, cargo securement, and more.
• Range / Yard Training: Backing maneuvers (straight line, alley dock, offset, parallel), coupling & uncoupling, pre-trip inspections.
• On-the-Road Driving: Extensive highway, rural, and urban experience in real Upper Michigan conditions.
• Manual Transmission – Full proficiency (most companies still require it).

Upon successful completion you will receive:

• Unrestricted Class A CDL (no restrictions on manual transmission)
• FMCSA ELDT Certificate
• CVTA accreditation backing
• Job placement assistance with recruiters and regional carriers
