FMCSA publishes a list of every registered training location each day. We download it, keep the 6,133 locations open to the public, and build a page for each.

Removed schools
FMCSA's removed-provider list and the schools under review, on one page, with what a removal means for you.
The guide
The rules, the money and the questions to ask, in the guide to choosing a CDL school.
Questions
What is the Training Provider Registry?
FMCSA's national list of providers eligible to give entry-level driver training. Since February 2022 you need training from a listed provider before the skills test for a first Class A or B licence, a B-to-A upgrade, or a first passenger, school bus or hazmat endorsement.
Why are there only 6,133 schools when the registry has 32,965 locations?
26,832 locations are marked "private enrollment only": carriers, utilities, school districts and other employers that train their own staff. You can't enrol at them, so we leave them out. Directories that count them are counting fleets, not schools.
What does "Active" mean?
That the school has registered and certified it meets the federal standards. No agency inspects a school before it is listed, so Active says nothing about quality or price. "In-review" means FMCSA is looking at the provider. Removed providers come off the list and appear on the removed schools page.
What's the difference between in person, travelling and online?
In person: a school with a site you go to. Travelling: an instructor who comes to a yard or site, often for a company or a group. Online: theory only, over the internet. Range and public-road training is always in person.
Why does a school show Class A theory but not range or road?
Because that is what it ticked when it registered. Some schools partner with another provider for the driving part; ask. For a full Class A or B course you need all three parts recorded.
Can I train in one state and test in another?
Yes. The training requirement is federal, so any registered school counts. The licence comes from the state where you live, and federal rules let another state give you the skills test and require your home state to accept the result. Each state page names the state's licensing agency.
How current is this?
Built from FMCSA's location list as of 2026-11-02. We rebuild as the list changes. The registry's own search is the authoritative record; every school page links to it.
What happens when I send a request for information?
We pass it to the school you asked about, or to schools near you. We may also pass it to other training providers or carriers that pay us for introductions; the form says so, and the privacy page explains what we keep.
I run a school. How do I fix my listing?
Change it on the registry: our pages follow FMCSA's file. Phone, website, address and the training types all come from what you entered there. If something is wrong on our page but right on the registry, email us (see the privacy page).
