How Much Does it Cost to Get a CDL?

Truck driving school costs and CDL fees will vary by the school options you choose and where you live, but the total cost is typically between $3,000 and $7,000.

Read more about what determines the cost, and more importantly, how you can pay for that cost — including a way you don’t have to!

What variables affect truck driving school costs?

Here are a few:

How comprehensive the program is — the amount of driving time, range time and classroom time
Reputation and job placement record — look for quality, not just low cost
Lodging and amenities — some schools include lodging in the cost if the school isn’t close enough to commute from home
Equipment options — auto-only options are growing in popularity within the industry

The cost of the Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) itself differs by state, with fees typically assessed for the road test, the license itself (Class A, B, C, etc.) and any endorsements you may have (e.g. hazmat, doubles, etc.). Consult your Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office for specifics.
