WHY CHOOSE SOUTHWEST’s PHOENIX CAMPUS

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.

Further, we have state-of-the-art classrooms, sound systems, equipment, and learning materials.

Unlike many other schools, we don't use nearly obsolete vehicles that may be older than you are. Instead, 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.

Also, we train on both automatic and manual transmissions—a rarity in the industry.

At Southwest Truck Driver Training school in Phoenix, you learn from the best. Our instructors are state-certified examiners with at least three years of over-the-road experience. Most have five or more years under their belts.

"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.

"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."
- Rick Stoffel
