CDL training does not have to mean paying it all upfront, and it should not mean giving up on the idea because of cost.

Traditional financing, student aid, and government grants all open paths to covering tuition, and figuring out which one fits your situation starts with a single conversation.

Apex Technical Institute believes in investing in people. If you need help paying for your training, our team would be happy to talk to you about it.

Enrolling in our Class A CDL program takes more than just wanting to drive a truck.

You must be at least 21, hold a valid license for at least three years, pass a DOT physical, and have a clean driving record. We walk through all of it before day one, so nothing catches you off guard once training starts.

Some reviews say it better than we ever could.

This one came from Lucas C., who showed up ready to work and left with his Class A CDL in hand. That’s how it goes at Apex: you bring the effort, and our instructors meet you there with one-on-one training from the classroom to the road.

Thank you for trusting us with your CDL journey, Lucas. We’re so proud of you and can’t wait to see where the road takes you!

He did the work. We had his back. Your turn starts here: https://ow.ly/BvL150ZXbq4

Nobody backs a trailer perfectly on the first try, or the tenth.

Our students spend hours running cone drills in the yard, backing and parking over and over until the movements start to feel automatic instead of stressful.

It's repetitive work, but it's exactly the kind of repetition that builds confidence for test day and beyond.

Cents per mile, hourly, and weekly guarantee. Truck drivers don’t all get paid the same way, and the pay method can matter just as much as the rate.

Our newest blog breaks down how Class A drivers are paid, what to expect in the first year behind the wheel, and how pay in the Kansas City area compares to the rest of the country. (Spoiler: the numbers favor KC drivers.)

If you’re thinking about a career in trucking, it’s a smart place to start. Read the full breakdown below 👇

Truck drivers earned a median of $58,640 in May 2025. See how Class A drivers are paid, what new drivers earn, and how pay in Kansas compares.

We keep class sizes small on purpose because it changes how much one-on-one time each student gets, and that can make all the difference.

Instructors can catch a mistake before it becomes a habit, answer a question the moment it comes up, and adjust the pace to match where a student is at that moment.

That kind of attention is something students notice, and it shows up in how prepared they feel by the time they are done.

Weigh stations and roadside inspections are part of life on the road, and knowing what to expect ahead of time makes them a lot less stressful.

Our training walks students through exactly what DOT officers check, so test day and the road after it feel familiar instead of intimidating.

Before students ever get behind the wheel, they spend time just getting to know the yard: where the trucks are staged, what each piece of equipment is for, and how the space is laid out for drills.

It's not the most exciting part of training to talk about, but knowing the yard inside and out makes everything that comes next go more smoothly.

Good training doesn't happen by accident.

It takes instructors who notice when a student is stuck, who slow down instead of rushing to the next lesson, and who genuinely want to see every student succeed.

We're grateful for the instructors who bring that kind of patience into the yard and classroom every day.

Not every CDL training program is licensed and accredited the same way.

Ours is a state-licensed training provider, which means our program meets a set standard for both classroom instruction and behind-the-wheel training. That matters when you are trusting a program with your time and your next career move.
