CDL Schools in Georgia: Behind-the-Wheel Training

95 CDL schools, truck driving schools and other training locations in Georgia (GA) are listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry for behind-the-wheel CDL training, including schools in Atlanta, Albany, Columbus, Conley, Augusta. You need behind-the-wheel training from a registered provider after your ELDT theory.

Need ELDT theory? It can come from a different registered provider than your school: our $20 Class A CDL theory course is online and accepted in Georgia. The Georgia ELDT guide covers the permit and test steps.

About CDL training in Georgia

Of the 95 GA locations on the registry, 84 (88%) are registered for Class A training, 57 (60%) for Class B, 30 for the passenger (P) endorsement and 31 for school bus (S); 32 also hold hazmat (H) theory, which has no driving portion, so the hazmat endorsement course can be taken online. 52 of the names are a school district, transit agency, college or other public body, which often trains only its own drivers, so the number open to the public may be smaller.

Where each class is taught: Class A in Atlanta (5), Columbus (4) and Albany (3); Class B in Columbus (4), Albany (2) and Atlanta (2); the passenger (P) endorsement in Columbus (3), Atlanta (2) and Conley (2); school bus (S) in Columbus (3), Atlanta (2) and Conley (2).

89 of the 95 list a phone number and 48 publish a website. 28 records were updated by the provider in 2026 and 67 carry an older date; the newest GA record (Georgia Driving Academy) is from October 2026. Treat an old date as a reason to call first, not as proof that a school has closed.

The locations are spread over 72 cities; the biggest clusters are Atlanta (6), Albany (4), Columbus (4), Conley (3) and Augusta (2). Also listed: Austell (2), Commerce (2), Dalton (2), Jackson (2), Louisville (2), Mableton (2), Macon (2), Rockmart (2), Valdosta (2) and Acworth (1). Each city heading below is a jump link, and every card shows the classes that location is registered for.

Before behind-the-wheel in Georgia

Schools in Georgia can only put you on the range once you hold a Commercial Learner's Permit from the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS). Federal rules then require at least 14 days with the permit before the skills test, and the agency must see both your theory and your behind-the-wheel completions in the FMCSA registry before it gives you that test. So finish theory first, with any registered provider, then bring the permit to one of the 95 GA locations on this page (84 of them train Class A).

The Georgia ELDT guide covers the GA permit steps, agency fees and testing rules, and the online theory part costs $20 per course.

Georgia CDL school questions

Do I need behind-the-wheel training after online theory?
Yes, for a Class A or Class B CDL, the B-to-A upgrade and the passenger and school bus endorsements. Theory can be done online, but range and public-road training must be done in person with a registered provider, for example one of the Georgia schools on this page. In Georgia, 84 of the 95 registered locations are set up for Class A training and 57 for Class B; Atlanta alone has 6. Hazmat is theory only.
How do I check that a school is registered?
Search the school's name at tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov. Every school on this page comes from that registry, but listings change, so confirm before you pay.
Can I take theory and behind-the-wheel from different providers?
Yes. FMCSA lets you complete theory with one registered provider and behind-the-wheel with another. Many drivers in Georgia finish theory online first, then do range and road training in person with a local school or instructor.
How do I find a Class A truck driving school in Georgia?
Filter the list on this page by Class A. 84 of the 95 registered locations in Georgia are set up for Class A (tractor-trailer) training; the biggest clusters are in Atlanta (5), Columbus (4) and Albany (3). Some Class A registrants are trucking companies that train only their own new hires, so call and ask whether the school takes public students before you plan around it.
