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 Indiana. The Indiana ELDT guide covers the permit and test steps.

About CDL training in Indiana

Of the 173 IN locations on the registry, 98 (57%) are registered for Class A training, 141 (82%) for Class B, 117 for the passenger (P) endorsement and 109 for school bus (S); 49 also hold hazmat (H) theory, which has no driving portion, so the hazmat endorsement course can be taken online. 13 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 Indianapolis (15), Fort Wayne (6) and Muncie (4); Class B in Indianapolis (9), Bloomington (6) and Gary (4); the passenger (P) endorsement in Indianapolis (7), Bloomington (5) and Gary (4); school bus (S) in Indianapolis (6), Bloomington (3) and Gary (3).

144 of the 173 list a phone number and 85 publish a website. 66 records were updated by the provider in 2026 and 107 carry an older date; the newest IN record (The CDL Academy LLC) 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 108 cities; the biggest clusters are Indianapolis (15), Bloomington (6), Fort Wayne (6), Gary (4) and Muncie (4). Also listed: Rensselaer (4), South Bend (4), Vincennes (4), Anderson (3), Evansville (3), La Porte (3), Lafayette (3), North Judson (3), Terre Haute (3) and Valparaiso (3). Each city heading below is a jump link, and every card shows the classes that location is registered for.

Before behind-the-wheel in Indiana

Schools in Indiana can only put you on the range once you hold a Commercial Learner's Permit from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). 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 173 IN locations on this page (98 of them train Class A).

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

Indiana 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 Indiana schools on this page. In Indiana, 98 of the 173 registered locations are set up for Class A training and 141 for Class B; Indianapolis alone has 15. 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 Indiana 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 Indiana?
Filter the list on this page by Class A. 98 of the 173 registered locations in Indiana are set up for Class A (tractor-trailer) training; the biggest clusters are in Indianapolis (15), Fort Wayne (6) and Muncie (4). 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.
