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!

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!

  • I'm 18 years old, can I get my CDL?
    Yes. However, CDL holders under the age of 21 are restricted from driving outside of the state of their licensed domicile. Once you turn 21, you would have to update your CDL to remove the age restriction from your license.
  • Do I need a high school diploma or G.E.D. to get my CDL?
    We are an accredited institution through the Tennessee Higher Education Commission, therefore the prerequisite to have your high school diploma or G.E.D. is required.
  • What documentation will I need to bring?
    You will need your driver's license, a D.O.T. Certified Physical Examination and Medical Certification, your Social Security Card, Official State Issued Birth Certificate (Not the hospital issued certificate), two (2) proofs of domicile (Car Registration and Utility Bill in your name, authenticated by the utility company), and your high school diploma or G.E.D.

    The academy does not offer direct financing, although we do offer discounts to cash paying students.

    Unfortunately, no. All students coming through our school must possess a license in which the school is located. However, once you have obtained your CDL, it is transferable to any state!
