OUR UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES

  • QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

    We do not focus on QUANTITY, we focus on QUALITY! The difference at ATA is that take the time individually to make sure you are understanding the material, ensuring your success. Our classes are kept small to accomplish this goal. We also teach about the industry, not just how to past a test.

  • EXPERIENCED INSTRUCTORS

    Our Instructors have decades of experience between them, from company drivers, owner operators, and even CDL examiners. The wealth of knowledge that flows through our doors is unmatched to give you a diverse education from all angles of the industry!

  • Unconventional Techniques

    We are here to help you succeed, not follow a script. While we pride ourselves by going by the book, but we also pride ourselves in the method in which we do it. We realize not everyone learns at the same pace, or even in the same manner. We utilize ALL our talents to make sure your experience is customized to YOUR level of understanding. Failure is not an option here. You'd have to work very hard to fail at ATA.

Compared To Other CDL Schools...

Armored Trucking Academy has a few options for you designed to help save you $$! We are upfront on our costs, and far cheaper than other trucking schools, with superior education! We offer you far more, for far less, taking you further in your career. Most CDL Schools do not offer the FMCSA's Mandated ELDT Theory Training. WE DO! We cover General Knowledge, Air Brakes, and Combinations, with a robust Vehicle Inspection course to help you pass the state written exams, in your first week! We keep our classes small also, so you get the most seat time and the best personalized training experience!
