Tuition and Fees
Our tuition costs are quite reasonable when you consider the amount of salary that can be earned once our graduates have received their Commercial Driver’s License or CDL from our truck driver training institute or Heavy Equipment Operator Certificate. Certified CDL truck drivers averaged $49,920 a year in 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, and that has probably gone up since then because of the shortage of qualified drivers.
This means that you could earn enough extra pay in the first year or two of driving a truck to pay for your training, and then some. That makes our school a worthwhile investment for those who want to get ahead in life and start making real money.
The same holds true for the graduates of our heavy equipment operator course. The average salary for that occupation in 2022 was $51,050 per year, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Once again, training to become a heavy equipment operator turns out to be a great investment in your future earnings ability.
Below are the total tuition costs and other fees for our various Truck Driving Training programs and our Heavy Equipment Operator course.
