Stateline Truck Driving School Catalog - 2025

Stateline Truck Driving School is committed to preparing students for successful careers in the trucking industry. Through expert classroom instruction, range exercises, and on-road training, we empower students with the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve their CDL and pursue fulfilling employment opportunities. We are dedicated to providing a respectful, supportive environment where students are treated with integrity.

Our Class A Commercial Driver Training Course is designed for students with little or no commercial driving experience. The program includes classroom education, lab instruction, range activities, and on-the-road driving experience. Students will gain the practical skills and regulatory knowledge required to safely operate a Class A Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV), including vehicle inspections, proper backing techniques, and compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) guidelines.

Loyd Stephens is the Owner, Administrator, and Lead Instructor with 20+ years of CDL teaching and truck driving experience. Jennifer Griggs, a CDL Instructor, has 4 years of heavy equipment operation and 3 years of teaching. Melissa Stephens handles admissions and recordkeeping. For inquiries, contact Loyd at (509) 942-4742 or loydbud@gmail.com.

Classes run Monday to Friday, 8 AM – 5 PM. Saturday classes are scheduled only to make up absences. All make-up sessions must be arranged in advance with the instructor.

Students are provided with the Oregon Commercial Driver Manual, logbooks, instructional videos, pre-tests, and quizzes.
