About Our CDL School in Trenton, NJ
The Driving Academy story begins with Jonathan, our founder. He realized his region lacked quality CDL training programs, giving students no opportunity to work toward a flexible and rewarding career. To remedy this need, he collaborated with a team of associates to create his own CDL training school. Driving Academy later spread across the U.S., accepting students at multiple locations.
Trenton is our fourth CDL driving school campus in New Jersey, and serves future big rig drivers in Mercer, Burlington, Camden, Somerset, Middlesex and Hunterdon counties. Experienced instructors and advanced classroom technologies set us apart as one of the top CDL driving schools in the Garden State and the nation.
