CDL training in Kentucky
34 CDL (commercial driver's license) training programs with results and funding that can make them free
34 schools offer these truck driving programs, and Kentucky has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows how past students did; Kentucky files no usable prices.
Truck drivers need a commercial driver's license, which generally takes a knowledge test and a driving test. Most drivers have a high school diploma and prepare at a professional truck driving school.1 Since February 7, 2022, federal rules require anyone getting a Class A or B license for the first time, or upgrading to one, to train with a provider on FMCSA's Training Provider Registry.2
In Kentucky, all 34 programs take students without a high school diploma.
All 34 are the same kind of program: CDL (class not stated).

How to pay for CDL training in Kentucky
WIOA funding can pay for CDL training in Kentucky
Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?
Financial aid and grants for CDL training
Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.78
Company-paid CDL training
Some trucking companies run their own schools and may pay the tuition if you drive for them for a set time, such as a year.9
GI Bill for CDL training
Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.10
The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Where the Kentucky truck driving program numbers come from
Which Kentucky truck driving programs are on this list?
These are the truck driving programs Kentucky approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).11 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Kentucky offers.
How the prices and results of Kentucky truck driving programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
