I made the right choice with Interstate Truck Driving School. I not only learned how to drive a tractor trailer but I learned about the truck driving business.The program is self-paced so I was able to progress through it rapidly. But, if you do need more time and more instruction you will receive all the guidance you need. One of the reasons I chose this school is there is no wait time to test. When they feel you are ready and you have met all the minimum federal training requirements you will test. The instructors prepared me well enough to confidently obtain my CLASS A CDL the first time! Thanks to all the staff at ITDS!!

The staff are extremely helpful, informative, and friendly. Schedule based flexibility is a huge plus, as you can attend on your own personal availability. Interstate Truck Driving School doesn’t slack with training, practice, and helpful knowledge. They want to make sure you’re comfortable/capable of driving and operating a CMV effectively. I highly recommend this school!

joshwinger | Oct 23, 2018

Interstate has a variety of programs for both Class A & B. Class A can run $2995-$5995 depending on if you want just the CDL or if you want Professional training on top of that.

Do you offer weekend courses? What if you have a CDL but haven't used it in 10 years, do you offer refresher courses?

david medina | Oct 23, 2019
Chris Hartkopf | Oct 23, 2019

They offer refresher course and are open on weekends. Give them a call and they can give you a list of courses and prices.

Can help you get your Your license to drive truck even if you don't have a driver's life and and need to pay fines

Brittney Nelson | Oct 22, 2020

Not really because you have to get a commercial drivers permit. Which means you have to have a valid drivers license to take the commerical computer test at the dmv stations. You best bet is to get the regular license and fines and fees taken care of first. And be aware that , some or most companies wont hire you depending on the violations you have on your regular license. Go to a trucking website, and check under restrictions to check. Ok good luck!!

Derrick Sinclair | Oct 23, 2018
joshwinger | Oct 23, 2019

Class B training is available but nothing specific to dump trucks. There are different types of dump trucks so that training would come from your employer.

What will be the tuition fee for Class A this year? Is there any financial aid either from you or somewhere else ? Thanks

Sham Ahmed | Jun 24, 2022
J Wurmnest | Jun 24, 2022

Just call them. The regulations changed in Feb '22 so the fee went up a bit

Nick G | May 25, 2022
J Wurmnest | May 25, 2022

I'm not sure but you can certainly call and ask. I'm going thru Minnesota Valley action counsel, MVAC, they are helping me thru a grant. I'd call your local county office because there is $ out there because of the driver shortages.

Do you offer any financial aid for your truck driving course?

Barbara A- | Feb 24, 2022
J Wurmnest | Feb 24, 2022

I can't answer for the school but I got help thru a non profit MVAC, due to the driver shortage.

Dale Tinjum | Oct 22, 2021

There's only three days of classroom I believe it was like 8 to 2 or 3 a Monday Tuesday Wednesday but that's what I did it because they were do that because of the virus things could have changed but the backing skills and the driving lessons can be done on the weekends too what are said the classroom could have changed since I've done it

You would probably have to pay for some amount of school.

what's the total cost for the school?

Karvee Kawalawu MSW, LGSW | Oct 22, 2020
Allyn Zelenka | Oct 22, 2020

Just under$5000 for automatic transmission CDL-A, just under $6000 for manual transmission CDL-A

Why people of different levels pay the same amount of money. For example, I was looking for just five days to practice with parking to refresh just like few days. They said the cost is about more than $ 3900. I really surprised

Interstate is a school, and like other schools trains to their curriculum of their programs. If you're not interested in taking a full course and are looking only for a few hours of training, I would not recommend looking into a school. You'd be best to look elsewhere.

Good evening. How do sign up for class

It's been over 10yrs since my last dui offense and 2 moving violations over 5 yrs ago would I still be limited on what companies would employ me?

Donny Harris | Oct 23, 2019
joshwinger | Oct 23, 2019

Any DUI can limit who can hire you. However being that the charge is over a decade old, along with the age of the moving violations I think you won't have a hard time finding work. There are plenty of companies that will work with you.

Can you tell me please how is much cost license and how many days can i finish the taraininv

beauty mahdi family hodan ali | Oct 23, 2019
Christopher Hartkopf | Oct 23, 2019

Give them a call, or stop in, they have different levels of training, at different lengths. Their most common is the 160 hour automatic transmission class A course. It costs about $4500 and is 8 weeks long. However, you can finish ahead of time if you can pass your tests.

What happens if you can’t pass or do you make sure everyone gets passed also how many people have you seen not pass

Scott Dougan | Oct 23, 2019
Christopher Hartkopf | Oct 23, 2019

study hard, then go take your test, if you fail the first time around at least then you know exactly what you need to work on, best-case scenario you'll pass your first time on everything.

What are the class hours for cdl

Robin Snead | Oct 23, 2019
Christopher Hartkopf | Oct 23, 2019

Classes start every Monday thru Wednesday, you will work in class for three days and work at your own pace after that. They are open 7-5 usually and closed Sundays in the winter. The number of hours per course varies based on class a or class b and wether you go automatic or manual. It's best to go with the 160 hour or longer as some companies will accept a 160 hour course/certificate in place of 1 year of driving experience, which is needed for insurance purposes.

Chick Munk | Oct 23, 2018
joshwinger | Oct 23, 2019

There are jobs available with local companies as well as regional and over the road. Tons of driving jobs in the industry. You can contact the main office to get more details on the opportunities available.

What if I have duis in my past?

JESSE GONGOLL | Oct 23, 2018
joshwinger | Oct 23, 2019

DUIs won’t effect you getting the license. However the more infractions you have on your record the fewer options you’ll have for driving jobs out of school. Anyone can find work. You just many not have a wealth of options.
