About Our Phoenix Facility
When you walk into the building at our Phoenix campus, you'll immediately see our ethos printed on the door: We believe that our school centers around you, the student.
Exploring further, you'll find state-of-the-art classrooms, sound systems, and equipment as well as a well-appointed range for practicing your new skills.
Our trucks are low-mileage full sleeper vehicles with 53-foot trailers. This is likely the type you'll get when you start your career. We upgrade our trucks frequently and customize them for safe, comfortable small-group learning right in the vehicles.
Our Phoenix-based instructors are state-certified examiners with at least three years of over-the-road experience. Most have five or more years under their belts.
SOUTHWEST TRUCK DRIVER TRAINING CAREER SUPPORT
We'll be by your side when it's time to look for work. Because we're not owned by a trucking company, you can shop your talents to different employers.
We invite some of the most respected companies to recruit at our Phoenix trucking school. Whether you are interested in OTR jobs, regional driving, local work, or other driving jobs, we can refer you to companies needing those drivers.
In conjunction with our North Las Vegas and Tucson schools, we host up to six job fairs yearly.
Our campus has an excellent record of success, with hundreds of students graduating yearly. About 94% of our students earn a license and find a job right after training, helped by our lifetime job placement services.
When you train with us, you receive job help for the rest of your life. Our success depends on your success!

- Jarvis Taylor
"School was awesome! You learn the basics. It's enough to get your license. That's all you need. The rest is up to you to find a job using your own due diligence and the school's employer resource list for Local and OTR. Would recommend the school to everyone.
- Will Wright
"The school taught me everything I needed to know about trucking. The instructors and staff are great. These instructors are funny and make learning easy and fun. If you're looking to get your CDL, go to Southwest Truck Driving school."
- Breeezz Davis
"My classroom instructor was Doug. His vast knowledge of the industry was helpful during the learning stages. He is a very intelligent man but can teach at a level [so] that all can succeed. Also, his countless stories kept the class light and took off the pressure sometimes."
"The course instructor John was incredible. To take [...] completely different personalities and teach them how to drive a commercial truck in 70 hours is remarkable. Incredible patience, knowledge and a very funny personality."
