Get Your CDL in Greenville Without Quitting Your Job
Train nights, weekends, or full-time whatever fits your life. Start your CDL journey for as little as $500 down and unlock a career with real earning potential.
The CDL School Greenville Relies On
Most people who want a CDL face the same problem they cannot afford to stop working while they train. Traditional schools force you into rigid daytime schedules that do not fit your life, leaving you stuck choosing between your current paycheck and your future career. On top of that, high tuition costs and inflexible payment options make it feel impossible to even get started.
At Driving Academy, we built our entire program around working adults like you. Whether you need evening slots, weekend sessions, or a part-time schedule, we fit training around your life not the other way around. With simulation-based learning, hands-on behind-the-wheel practice, flexible payment plans, and potential access to WIOA grant funding that could cover your full tuition, there has never been a better time to take the first step.
Start for as Little as $500 Down: Do not let upfront costs stop you. Begin training immediately and complete your payments over time with weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly installments.
WIOA Funding Available: Eligible students in Greenville, Spartanburg, and Anderson counties may qualify for workforce development grant funding that covers full tuition costs.
Class A & Class B CDL Training:
Complete hands-on instruction with simulation tools and real truck practice to get you road-test ready with confidence.
Flexible Scheduling for Working Adults:
Train full-time, part-time, evenings, or weekends. We work around your life so you never have to choose between income and your future.
Class A CDL Training
Full hands-on Class A instruction including manual and automatic trucks to prepare you for your commercial driver license road test.
Class B CDL Training
Targeted Class B training for students seeking straight truck or bus driving careers with the same flexible scheduling options.
Passenger & Bus Endorsement
Add passenger and bus endorsements to your CDL and expand your career opportunities into transit, charter, and school bus driving.
Simulation-Based Learning

Third-Party CDL Testing
We offer on-site third-party CDL testing so you do not have to travel far or wait in long state DMV queues to take your road test.
ELDT & Permit Prep Assistance
We help you complete your Entry Level Driver Training requirements and prepare for your CLP permit so you walk in fully ready.
A better career does not wait and neither should you. Call us today to find out if you qualify for grant funding and lock in your training schedule.
Social Proof / Testimonials
Jerome W.
I was working full-time and did not think CDL training was possible for me. The evening schedule made it work. The instructors were patient and thorough and I passed my road test on the first try. This school changed my life.
Angela S.
I was so worried about the cost but they walked me through the WIOA grant process and I ended up qualifying for full funding. The training was outstanding and I was hired within two weeks of graduating. I could not be happier.
DeShawn M.
The simulator training was something I had never seen at any other school. It helped me get comfortable before ever sitting in a real truck. The whole team here genuinely wants to see you succeed. Highly recommend Driving Academy to anyone.
