About Knight CDL Academy
Knight CDL Academy, operating within Knight Transportation, provides comprehensive truck driver training. With locations in Phoenix, AZ, and Indianapolis, IN, the academy offers small class sizes, state-of-the-art audio/visual technology, and outdoor driving ranges to maximize student comfort and learning. Experienced instructors are committed to helping students establish successful driving careers through in-class sessions, range training, and hands-on highway driving. The academy focuses on equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed to pass the CDL examination and thrive as OTR operators. Knight CDL Academy's program typically lasts 2-3 weeks, with military scholarships available for qualifying U.S. Military Veterans. Before attending, students must have a commercial learner's permit and be prepared for employment verifications, background checks, and drug screens. Knight also offers a week-long in-person class to help students prepare for their CLP. After obtaining their CDL and getting hired by Knight, graduates receive industry-leading over-the-road training with qualified driver trainers. While tuition costs around $4,000, Knight offers discounts for upfront payments and provides a trainee salary to help cover meals and expenses during training. Repayment options include weekly deductions. Knight provides transportation to the yard, but students are generally responsible for their lodging. Graduates can access job opportunities in various services, including van, refrigerated, flatbed, and intermodal. Student reviews highlight the helpful and motivating instructors, seamless training process, and excellent facilities. However, some reviews mention inconsistent pay and the need to gain experience before moving to other companies. Despite this, Knight CDL Academy is often recommended as a good starting point for those seeking a career in truck driving.
