We're not down the highway - we're in your back yard. Carolina CDL Training Center sits at 2379 Smokey Park Hwy, right here in Candler. The closest commute to a Class A or Class B CDL you'll find.

Most folks drive across the state or sit in a far-off classroom to get a CDL. Not in Candler. Our training yard is on Smokey Park Hwy between Enka and the Pisgah Highway turn - you've probably passed it a hundred times. That means no fuel burned on a long daily commute and more of your day spent behind the wheel learning.
Being local matters when you're testing, too. Your road test runs on the same Candler-area roads you'll drive every day after you're hired - you learn the route, not just the truck.
Minutes from anywhere in Candler. Drop by the yard, meet the instructors, and see the trucks before you commit.
A 160-hour, federally compliant course on our own tractor-trailers and a full cone range - no simulators.
3rd-party CDL testing happens right here. No scheduling a DMV trip across the county to finish.
