Cost of truck driving schools in Illinois
Cost can vary quite wildly for CDL schools in Illinois with most ranging from $2,000 – $9,000. The variation is due to a few key factors:
- Level of certification and licensing
- Amount of time in the classroom and on the road
- Whether or not food and lodging is a part of the training program
- Quality of equipment and facilities
- Job placement assistance
Tips for picking a truck driving school
While researching CDL schools in Illinois, it’s important to know that not all programs are the same and some can vary based on a few key factors. The following are a few questions that you may want to consider asking when considering CDL schools.
Are you accredited with the state of Illinois?
CDL schools through the Illinois Secretary of State. Not all states require CDLs to be accredited, but in Illinois it is a requirement.
Do you offer a payment plan or financial assistance?
This differs per school, but most offer some form of payment plan options for their students. Truck driving schools that their students don’t have several thousand dollars to pay for schooling upfront, so they will likely provide you with one or two payment options that fit with your financial situation and timeframe.
Some schools can connect you with grants and scholarships that can applied towards their school. Visit the Illinois Student Assistance Commission website to find any scholarships or grants that you can use towards your truck driving education.
Do you have a good relationship with trucking companies in Illinois?
Trucking companies look to truck driving schools to find new Class A licensed drivers. Good CDL schools will be able to help with job placement and connect you with some of the best companies in Illinois and beyond. This is a huge advantage with using a CDL school instead of using a company to receive training as you’re stuck with one employer for a year or longer.
