American Truck Training

What American Truck Training does

American Truck Training (ATT), operating under the DBA "America Loves Trucking," is a privately held LLC formed in October 2012 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The company is a for-profit commercial truck driving school that delivers Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT)-compliant Class A CDL instruction across weekday, weekend, and evening schedules. The 160-hour curriculum combines classroom permit preparation with behind-the-wheel driving on both manual and automatic transmission tractors, conducted on an expanded Oklahoma City training campus relocated in 2021 to a larger facility near I-40 and I-44. Differentiated in-facility services include third-party on-site CDL skills testing and on-site DOT physicals and drug screens, which compress enrollment-to-certification timelines for students.

ATT's product portfolio spans the core Class A CDL program, a Class B→A upgrade for existing CDL holders, an 8-hour HazMat/Tanker (X) endorsement combo, and a course to remove automatic-only license restrictions, supplemented by job placement assistance and on-site DOT services. Pricing is one-time tuition per program (Class A and Class B→A both listed at $5,495) with Affirm-based installment financing at 0–36% APR. The school's go-to-market combines direct enrollment through an admissions team, organic discovery via website content and 800+ Google reviews (4.7 stars), earned media including KOCO 5 and Oklahoma News Report features, and a carrier-partner channel in which major national fleets (Werner Enterprises, TMC Transportation, Schneider, Stevens Transport, Melton, Swift, US Xpress, Trans Am) recruit ATT graduates as a preferred training source. The carrier pipeline is reinforced by reported 91% first-attempt pass rates and 98% placement while students are still enrolled.

The company is founder/management-owned and led by President & CEO Jerome Redmond, who also serves as Chairman of the Commercial Vehicle Training Association (CVTA). ATT's senior leadership is engaged in federal workforce policy advocacy — including testimony and outreach around WIOA and the HR6655 Stronger Workforce for America Act — and operates a veteran transition initiative through Task Force Movement. To date ATT has graduated 5,000+ Class A CDL students, and in 2026 initiated a fleet replacement program covering approximately half of its training trucks.

Broad incumbents

• Schneider National: Schneider is a major national carrier that operates its own CDL training and apprenticeship pathways while simultaneously being an ATT placement partner. Represents both a partnership channel and an indirect competitor for students seeking sponsored training.
• Werner Enterprises: Werner is a top-5 carrier and ATT's largest placement partner, but also operates internal CDL training and sponsored programs. Comparable as a buyer of ATT's graduates and a competing training pathway for prospective drivers.

Others

• FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration): FMCSA is the federal regulator that sets ELDT standards and CDL licensing requirements. Relevant as the regulatory anchor of ATT's operating model—any change to ELDT rules, hours-of-service, or licensing structure directly affects demand for ATT's training.
• Commercial Vehicle Training Association (CVTA): CVTA is the industry association that sets CDL training standards and accredits member schools; ATT's CEO chairs it. Relevant as the ecosystem umbrella governing ATT's certification, marketing credibility, and policy advocacy positioning.

Emerging players

• Prime Inc: Prime operates a tuition-free CDL training program tied to employment, effectively competing for ATT's student funnel by offering sponsored training in exchange for driving commitments. Comparable as a competing CDL training pathway with carrier-sponsorship economics.

Direct peers

• New England Tractor Trailer Training School (NETTTS): NETTTS is a long-standing CDL and tractor-trailer training school with comparable Class A program structure, financing options, and carrier-driven placement model. Comparable as a regionally focused vocational CDL school with similar student demographics.
• Truck Driver Institute (TDI): TDI is a multi-state CDL training school offering Class A programs with on-site testing and carrier placement services. Directly comparable to ATT in curriculum, scheduling flexibility, and employer-driven placement model.
• 160 Driving Academy: 160 Driving Academy operates CDL training schools across multiple states with similar tuition-based business model, Class A programs, and carrier placement partnerships. It is a directly comparable multi-location CDL school competing for the same career-changer and veteran segments.
• Southwest Truck Driver Training: Southwest Truck Driver Training operates CDL programs in the south-central US with similar tuition pricing, weekend/weekday scheduling, and carrier partnerships. Most directly comparable as a regional competitor in overlapping geography to ATT.
• Roadmaster Drivers School: Roadmaster is a national CDL training provider offering Class A programs, financing, and job placement through carrier partnerships. It competes head-to-head with ATT for prospective students in overlapping regions and shares a similar tuition/placement value proposition.
