12 CDL (commercial driver's license) training programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

7 schools offer these truck driving programs with classes in the Greensboro-High Point area, and every one is approved for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

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 Greensboro, 6 of the 12 programs take students without a high school diploma, 3 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 3 ask for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 12 programs here are Class A (6 programs), Class B (3 programs), CDL (class not stated, 2 programs) and endorsements and permit prep (1 program).

How to pay for CDL training in Greensboro

WIOA funding can pay for CDL training in Greensboro

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 Greensboro truck driving program numbers come from

Which Greensboro truck driving programs are on this list?

These are the truck driving programs with classes in the Greensboro-High Point area that are 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. Online programs are left out here; they are on the North Carolina page. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what the area offers.

How the prices and results of Greensboro 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.
