Why West Michigan CDL is the best choice:
Our school has only three students per instructor. Others average four to five.
Other schools run four to five weeks. Our low student-to-instructor ratio gives you twice the average driving time, so you complete the required mileage faster at West Michigan C.D.L.
80% of the time you spend with us is "behind the wheel" training.
Day, evening and weekend courses let you fit training around your present job.
Our award-winning instructors have years of over-the-road experience. Their real-life experience will be a big help when you're out there on your own.
We work with nationally recognized companies to place our graduates in local, regional and national over-the-road jobs.
Freightliner conventional tractors with 48 and 53-foot trailers prepare you for today's best trucking jobs.
