Class A Leasing added a new CDL express training program for $1980 meant for those who already know how to operate a CMV, very advanced, been around this their entire life or career, and/or mechanically inclined.

***If you are inexperienced- THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. Targeting local, non-OTR drivers :)***

Express Plan Sample Schedule:

Day 1: 6:30-9:30am & 8:30-11:30am, or 8:30am-11:30am & 1:30-4:30pm (double up sessions to make training shorter)
Day 2: CDL exam at DMV

We focus on non-OTR, local CDL drivers in Minnesota and Wisconsin!

Let’s go over the TOP THREE reasons why Class A drivers fail their road test. We have been in business for nearly 40 years and this is data we have collected after each driver’s testing result.

We have a 95% pass rate, but when someone fails - it’s typically one of these 3 reasons on their ROAD TEST alone.

This is excluding pre-trip & basic skills - which we will be posting a separate video about that soon.

We added a NEW “Express School Plan” for $1,980, targeted towards highly skilled, advanced individuals with a vast amount of knowledge about the CMV industry and/or are mechanically inclined. 🙌🏼✅

Each training session held in person at our facility includes 1 hour of small group pre-trip class + 2 hours of 1-1 BTW. 3 hours total per session. You repeat this daily until you’ve completed your training hours included in the plan purchased.

Training can be conducted within 1-2 days, with your scheduled (1) road test on the 2nd or 3rd day of training at a licensed DMV.

Includes ELDT federal training, online “theory” or classroom instruction, and we schedule the road test for you. Transportation, insurance and truck rental is included in the overall cost. ONE road test is included in the $1,980 plan.

If upgrading from the “Express Plan,” to School Plan One ($3,480), this gives you 8 hours of total 1-1 time, up to 40 hours of pre-trip training (not required to complete all 40 as it’s based on skill-set), and TWO road tests. You pay the difference if you haven’t tested yet.

If upgrading from the “Express Plan,” to School Plan Two ($3,980) gives you 14 hours of total 1-1 driving, up to 40 hours of pre-trip training (not required to complete all 40 as it’s based on skill-set), and THREE road tests. You pay the difference if you haven’t tested yet.

Sample schedule for those requesting training doubled up:
Day 1: 8:30am-11:30am & 1:30pm-4:30pm
Day 2: CDL exam at DMV (2 hours in length if all 3 parts are seen/passed).

Sample schedule for those wanting 2 separate days of training:
Day 1: 6:30am-9:30am
Day 2: 6:30am-9:30am
Day 3: CDL exam at DMV

Available training times: M-Th
6:30am-9:30am
8:30am-11:30am
11:30am-2:30pm
1:30pm-4:30pm

Road tests scheduled M-F (except federal holidays) through Arden Hills, Plymouth, Eagan or Buffalo DMV based on availability of the staffing at the DMV.

Class A, Class B, manual and automatic transmissions are the same price!
