Our Training Curriculum

At Ace Trucking Academy, we provide comprehensive CDL Class A and Class B training for both manual and automatic transmission vehicles. Keep in mind that testing with an automatic transmission will result in a restriction (E) on your CDL, which means you won’t be legally permitted to drive manual CDL vehicles. However, since the majority of industry trucks are automatic, this won’t hinder your job prospects. In fact, choosing automatic transmission is the fastest and most straightforward way to acquire your CDL. 

 

Ace Trucking Academy is committed to your success beyond training. After passing the road test, we’ll assist you in connecting with potential employers, and we’ll continue to support your career growth long after you graduate from our school.

Our Entry-Level Class A Course is specifically designed for aspiring over-the-road, regional or local drivers with no prior experience

Our Entry-Level Class B Program is tailored for individuals seeking to drive Class B trucks locally or over-the-road, as

CDL PROCEDURE

Ace Trucking Academy stands out among the competition, as evidenced by our stellar Google ratings. We are committed to elevating your CDL training experience and ensuring that no student falls behind. Our carefully crafted training curriculum follows a step-by-step learning pattern, covering all aspects of your Road Test.


For instance, we begin Mondays with simple maneuvers and easy-to-understand phrases for the pre-trip inspection. Our training program is structured to help you build upon previous lessons day by day. We maintain a low student-to-instructor ratio of 4:1 in our trucks, guaranteeing that you receive the necessary practice and attention to excel in this complex new career.


Other schools may compromise quality by having too many students per truck and an insufficient number of instructors. As a result, we frequently welcome students from more affordable schools who have unfortunately wasted their time and money. At Ace Trucking Academy, students can be confident in their training and our ability to help them secure a high-paying job upon completion. Your success is our priority, and we strive to be your ultimate training destination.

Our CDL training procedure is as follows:

ELDT (Entry Level Training)

As of Feb, 7, 2022 it is mandatory for all CDL applicants to complete Entry level Training at an Official CDL school such as Ace Trucking Academy.

ELDT Online

Upon registration and on your first day at our school, we will provide you with a username and password for our online training software. This allows you to access and complete our 35 chapter videos and quizzes. After finishing the coursework, you will have completed the ELDT portion of your CDL training. A Certificate of Completion will be awarded to acknowledge your achievement.

CLP (Commercial Learner's Permit )

To obtain a Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP), you are required to take four multiple-choice tests at your local DPS office.

CLP

After completing your ELDT with us and earning the ELDT Certificate of Completion, we'll help schedule your DPS appointment for the four required multiple-choice tests of Texas Special Requirements, General Knowledge, Combination Vehicles (Class A only), and Air Brakes. You must score at least 80% on each test to obtain your CLP.

BTW (Behind The Wheel)

After completing ELDT & CLP, you'll receive Behind-the-Wheel (BTW) range and road training at our facility and on designated routes, driving daily. We'll log your training hours, submit them to the Training Provider Register, and help schedule your road test, getting you closer to your CDL.

BTW

Ace Trucking Academy offers a focused up to 4-week training program that covers essential skills such as Pre-Trip Inspection, various backing techniques, Coupling and Uncoupling, and advanced maneuvers, preparing you to confidently pass your Road Test and excel in your trucking career.

Don’t let your time and money go to waste at other schools – we’ve witnessed this unfortunate outcome far too many times. No other CDL training facility in Houston, TX can match the level of training we provide at Ace Trucking Academy. We encourage you to do your research and read reviews; the testimonials of our former students speak volumes about our commitment to excellence.

We also invite you to visit our facility and talk to our currently enrolled students – a level of transparency that other schools often don’t allow. We look forward to welcoming you and playing an integral role in your journey towards a successful career in trucking.
