The Hamilton Township facility features a one-acre practice yard and state-of-the-art simulators that reproduce realistic traffic, weather, vibrations, and gear-shifting conditions. Students can build experience in the simulator before moving into an actual truck and can further practice their driving skills on nearby Route 1. Our qualified instructors combine years of teaching and professional truck-driving experience, while our staff understands English and Spanish.

Redoing my review because I reviewed only after my first visit here and not for when I finished the program. Thanks so much to Carlos, Alahna, and especially Al my trainer. He has been number one in helping me learn and especially figure everything out at my own pace in a way that made the information and the techniques actually stick in my brain. I went for my manual transmission because I didnt want to have any restrictions on my license. They worked around my work schedule and made it super easy for me to come to class. Thank you guys so much for everything!

My experience at the driving academy was truly outstanding from start to finish. As someone who initially felt nervous about learning to drive, I was immediately put at ease by the friendly and professional staff. The instructors were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping students succeed.
The vehicles were well-maintained and equipped with safety features, which made me feel secure during every lesson. Scheduling was also very convenient and flexible
What stood out the most was the encouragement..
Overall, I highly recommend this driving academy to anyone looking to learn how to drive or improve their skills. It was a positive, rewarding experience that exceeded my expectations.

Obtaining this license allows you to operate any combination of vehicles with a gross combination weight rating of over 26,000 pounds, assuming the towed trailer weighs more than 10,000 pounds. With a Class A CDL, you can also legally operate Class B vehicles, which opens even more opportunities.
CDL Class B is used to operate commercial vehicles over 26,000 pounds with or without a trailer, weighing less than 10,000 pounds.
CDL Class B + P vehicles are defined as any vehicle that weighs more than 26,000 pounds and carry 16 or above passengers.
