A Class A CDL is the license for tractor-trailers and long-haul work — the widest range of driving jobs available, and the one carriers recruit hardest for. TNT has trained Utah drivers for it since 2004, and you take your skills test on site rather than at the DMV.
What you are actually getting
You are not paying for classes. You are paying for a commercial license and the work it opens up.
A career that is hiring now
Steady demand for licensed Class A drivers across Utah and nationwide — a stable career you can start in weeks rather than years.
Job search help before you finish
Job placement support starts while you are still in training, so you are not starting your search from zero on graduation day.
Lifetime job placement
We help you find driving work throughout your career — not just your first job out of school.
Test where you train
TNT is a third-party testing site. You take your skills exam here, in the same truck you trained in — no separate DMV appointment.
From today to licensed
Two paces, the same five steps. Accelerated runs about two weeks full time. Standard runs about four weeks if you are working or have other obligations.
Classroom and permit
The rules, vehicle systems, inspections, and passing your written CLP test.
Backing and yard skills
The exact maneuvers the examiner tests — alley dock, offset, straight-line.
Shifting and braking
Real trucks, real control — manual and automatic, controlled braking, stopping distance.
City and highway driving
Actual road time in commercial vehicles. No simulators.
Test and license, on site
Your skills exam, tested here by our third-party examiner. Pass it and you leave licensed.
How you will pay for it
You may not have to pay the full cost out of pocket. There are three routes, and working out which one fits you is the first thing we do together.
Utah Workforce Services (DWS)
If you qualify, DWS may fund your training. How much they cover depends on your situation and their determination — we handle the paperwork and help you find out.
Financing and payment plans
We work with student-financing partners and can set up a monthly plan for qualified applicants.
Self-pay
Straightforward — we quote you accurately for exactly what you need, with no padded flat rate.

Class A CDL training for drivers across Utah
TNT trains Class A drivers at our yard at 1030 S. Redwood Rd. in Salt Lake City, for students from across the Salt Lake Valley and the rest of Utah. Training is ELDT-compliant, you can start on a rolling basis, and more than 95% of our students pass on their first attempt.
Our instructors speak fluent Spanish — information in Spanish. Looking for local, home-every-night work instead? Compare Class B CDL training. Ask us about Utah DWS funding and payment options and lifetime job placement.
Common questions
When can I start?
Rolling enrollment, with new starts most weeks. Call and we will slot you in.
What do I need to enroll?
A valid driver’s license, DOT medical certificate, and proof of identity. You must be at least 18, able to read and speak English at a working level, and pass a drug screen. We help you through every step, including the medical exam.
Do I need my DOT medical card before I start?
No — most students do not have one yet. We will point you to a certified examiner and walk you through it.
Class A or Class B — which do I need?
Class A covers tractor-trailers and long-haul. Class B covers straight trucks, buses and most local, home-every-night driving. Tell us the job you want and we will point you to the right one.
Do I test at the DMV?
No. We are a third-party testing site — you test where you train, in the same truck.
What if I have not been in school in years?
You are exactly who we train. Many of our students are starting fresh, and we take it step by step.
