Worth the Short Drive

Dallas Has Options.
One Is Rated Highest.

Search "CDL school Dallas" and you'll get a wall of choices — big chains, contract schools, and places that teach just enough to get you through the test. The question isn't how many options there are. It's which one actually gets you trained, licensed, and hired.

Advance Career Education is the highest rated CDL school in the DFW area — 926 five-star Google reviews, more than any school in Dallas. We're a CVTA member (top-tier schools only), a Licensed Third-Party Testing facility, TWC approved, and on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry. For students in southwest Dallas, Cedar Hill, Duncanville, and DeSoto, we're a straight shot down I-20 — about 30 minutes for the best school in the metro.

Trained for Any Job

Trained Past
the Minimum.

Plenty of Dallas schools teach you exactly enough to pass and no more. We don't. Dallas students train on a modern fleet on concrete pads across every configuration a carrier might hand you — so your first day on the job, nothing is new.

Manual & Automatic

Both transmissions — qualified for any carrier's equipment.

Day Cab & Sleeper Cab

Local or over-the-road — real seat time in both.

Short Box & Long Box

Short and long trailers until backing is second nature.

Alley Docking

Taught even though it's not tested — because the job needs it.

We train you for the job, not just the test. See the full Class A programs →

Where Dallas Drivers Work

Dallas Is the
Freight Heart of the South.

Just south of downtown sits the International Inland Port of Dallas — one of the largest inland logistics hubs in the country, anchored by the Union Pacific Dallas Intermodal Terminal and the distribution centers of Amazon, Walmart, Procter & Gamble, Home Depot, and Kroger. Where I-20, I-35E, and I-45 meet, freight moves in every direction, all day long.

For a new CDL holder, that means jobs: regional distribution out of the southern Dallas warehouses, intermodal drayage, and over-the-road work launching from one of the best-connected cities in America. ACE grads from Dallas step straight into that pipeline — trained on real equipment, tested on-site, and ready for the carriers hiring right now.

What CDL classes are available to Dallas, TX students?+
ACE specializes in Class A CDL training — the license that covers tractor-trailer and most over-the-road freight work. Classes cover both transmissions, local and over-the-road seat time, and short and long trailers. Class B and school bus training is coming soon and currently waitlist-only.
How much does a CDL school in Dallas cost?+

How do I get my CDL license in Dallas, TX?+
You will need your commercial learner permit, then entry-level driver training from an FMCSA-registered provider, then the skills test. ACE is on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry and is a Licensed Third-Party Testing facility, so Dallas students take both the permit and the license test on our campus. Most students finish in about 3 to 4 weeks. See the full step-by-step guide.
Can I test on-site instead of going to a Dallas DPS office?+
Yes. Texas road tests are handled through DPS, and because ACE is a Licensed Third-Party Testing facility you complete CDL skills testing where you trained — same yard, same examiners, no separate DPS appointment to chase.
What is the best CDL school near Dallas, TX?+
ACE is the highest rated CDL school in the DFW area, with 926 five-star Google reviews — more than any school in Dallas — plus a 97% first-time pass rate, CVTA membership, and TWC approval.
