The FMCSA Entry Level Driver Training rule, effective February 7, 2022, requires all first-time Class A and Class B CDL applicants to complete a training curriculum at a school registered in the Training Provider Registry before taking the CDL skills test. In Nevada, there are 33 public-enrollment locations currently registered, of which 32 offer Class A (tractor-trailer) training. Schools must provide both theory instruction and behind-the-wheel time on a closed range and public road. TruckRadar pulls this list directly from the FMCSA TPR monthly export and excludes private-enrollment providers. Verify enrollment availability and current pricing directly with each school before applying.
There are 33 CDL training locations registered with the FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR) in Nevada that accept public enrollment. Some additional providers operate private enrollment programs (corporate fleets, transit agencies) and are not listed here. The registry is updated daily by FMCSA as schools register or update their programs.
Yes, for entry-level drivers obtaining a Class A or Class B CDL. The FMCSA Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT) rule requires all first-time CDL applicants (and those upgrading from Class B to Class A) to complete training at a registered provider before taking their skills test. Only schools listed in the FMCSA Training Provider Registry qualify. Drivers who already held a CDL before February 7, 2022 are exempt from ELDT for upgrades.
Class A CDL authorizes operation of combination vehicles (tractor-trailer) with a Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) over 26,001 lbs where the towed vehicle exceeds 10,000 lbs — the standard for OTR trucking. Class B covers single vehicles over 26,001 lbs GVWR (straight trucks, dump trucks, city buses) and vehicles towing less than 10,001 lbs. Class A training is longer and more comprehensive; a Class A license includes Class B privileges.
CDL training length varies by school and program type. Most Class A programs run 3–8 weeks of combined classroom (theory) and behind-the-wheel instruction. The FMCSA ELDT rule sets minimum hour requirements: 24 hours of theory and specific behind-the-wheel hours on a range and public road. Accelerated programs run 3–4 weeks full-time; community college programs can run a semester. Cost in Nevada typically ranges from $3,000 to $10,000 depending on school and program length.
No. This list shows only public-enrollment CDL schools — providers that accept applications from any qualified student. Many carriers (Amazon, UPS, waste haulers, transit agencies) operate registered training programs exclusively for their own employees or applicants. Those private-enrollment programs are registered with FMCSA but excluded here since they are not open to the general public.
