How CDL Training in Memphis Works

If you are interested in earning your Class A CDL and live within the Memphis hiring area, you can apply for our Tennessee truck driving school. At the Swift Memphis Academy, classes start every Monday morning, running from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. five days a week, and takes four weeks to complete. This way, once you're accepted into our program, you can start training with Swift when it suits you best.

Once you are accepted and officially enrolled, you'll arrive at our Academy facility on Monday and:

Attend Swift Academy classes, which take four weeks to complete (including passing your Class A CDL road exams).
Upon graduation from the Swift Academy, you can then meet your mentor and begin your over-the-road training.
Release to solo and begin your driving career.

Make sure to pack according to the season.

Preparing for Success with the CDL Manual

Just starting your trucking journey or refreshing your knowledge? The Tennessee CDL manual is an essential resource. It provides the foundational information every driver needs to understand state-specific regulations, safety standards, and road readiness. The guide helps ensure you're fully equipped to not only pass your CDL test, but drive with confidence and compliance.

All of our on-the-range and over-the-road training is conducted using a top-of-the-line fleet from International that's less than five years old.
