Questions from El Monte students

All questions
How far is the yard from El Monte?
About 25 minutes, 18 miles, via I-10. 1963 Mount Vernon Ave, Pomona. Directions.
How long does CDL training take?
Most students are licensed in three to four weeks: ELDT theory online tonight, permit within the week, then 15 hours behind the wheel while you hold the permit the required 14 days, then the DMV skills test. Traveling students on the condensed schedule are usually done in about two weeks.
Do I need experience?
No. You need to be 18 or older (21 to drive across state lines or haul hazmat), hold a valid California driver license, and be able to pass a DOT physical. We teach everything from the pre-trip inspection to backing to the road.
What do I need before day one?
A California driver license, proof of US citizenship or permanent residency (the DMV requires it for a CDL; visa holders should call us first, the rules tightened in 2025), a DOT medical card from a certified examiner, and your commercial learner permit. ELDT theory is done online before the permit test.
How much does it cost?
Class A Standard is $2,000 for 15 hours behind the wheel with one DMV skills test trip included. Premier is $2,500 for 30 hours. Class B is the same two tiers. The Class B to A upgrade is $1,200. ELDT theory online is $20.
How does the $300 down work?
You pay $300 to start and the balance as you train, cleared before your DMV skills test. You can also pay in full at checkout with a card, or split it with Klarna, Afterpay, Zip or Cash App.
Do you accept vouchers?
Yes. Department of Rehabilitation, WIOA through America's Job Centers, workers comp retraining (SJDB) vouchers, and employer sponsorship. We handle the school-side paperwork. Financing and vouchers.
