Road Knowledge Training Academy
Road Knowledge Training Academy is dedicated to creating a state-of-the-art curriculum for students 18 years and older. We offer CDL Training for Class A and Refresher students within an educational institution in Charlotte, North Carolina, and surrounding areas. Over time, we plan to expand and welcome out-of-state students.
Recognizing the growing demand for professional truck drivers, Road Knowledge Training Academy aims to help keep the world moving. Whether trucks are fuel-powered or electric, skilled truck drivers will always be essential. Before operating an 18-wheeler tractor-trailer or other heavy-duty commercial vehicles, students must complete a professional training program at an accredited institution certified by the FIMCSA.
With over 23 years of experience in education and trucking, Road Knowledge Training Academy is led by Clarissa Rankin, a dedicated instructor committed to positively impacting lives. Our academy provides high-quality CDL Class A training with expert certified instructors to prepare students for success in the transportation industry.
