Class A is the broader license. It covers tractor trailers over 26,001 pounds and combinations towing more than 10,000. Class B covers heavy straight vehicles towing under 10,000 pounds, like dump trucks and buses. Class A reaches long haul work and pays more. Class B often means local routes and nights at home. We train both.

Start with the work you want. Long haul and the widest job pool means Class A. Local routes and home most nights means Class B. Already hold a Class B? The Upgrade course moves you to Class A. Been off the road a while? The Refresher rebuilds your skills. Call (630) 628-1111 and we will match you.
