Making sense of Delaware CDL schools
Delaware's directory contains 16 locations in nine cities. New Castle, Newark, and Wilmington each have three, while Georgetown has two. In a compact state, city boundaries are a poor reason to stop comparing. The better approach is to place those addresses against your daily route and identify the sites you could attend reliably. Those three larger clusters provide the deepest local comparisons, while Georgetown adds another choice farther south. Read the location name as well as the provider name because one organization can operate through distinct training addresses.
Every Delaware entry lists some Class A training, and 12 of the 16 locations show theory, range, and public-road components. Class B appears at nine locations, with seven covering all three components. Passenger training appears at eight, school bus training at six, and hazardous materials theory at ten. The directory therefore looks different depending on the credential. Class A readers can start broadly, while Class B or bus-focused readers should use the component filters immediately. A location that covers your exact training need deserves attention before one that simply happens to be closest.
BLS counted 9,040 heavy and tractor-trailer truck driver jobs in Delaware in May 2025. Pay reaches a $57,590 median, with $46,850 at the 10th percentile and $69,770 at the 90th. The narrower state employment count makes these figures context, not a forecast for your first job. Compare schools on the facts connected to training, including class, address, and registered components, then confirm current cost and scheduling directly. The Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles provides the official information on permits, knowledge tests, skills tests, and medical certification.

Training Options at CDL Schools in Delaware
The registry shows 12 Delaware locations with Class A theory, range, and road registration. The comparable Class B count is 7, which is 5 lower.
Of the three endorsement-related filters, hazardous materials theory returns the most addresses at 10. A location can register one training part without registering every theory and driving component.
If you are deciding between license classes, compare the vehicle and job differences in the Class A CDL training guide and Class B CDL training guide. Passenger, school bus, and hazardous materials requirements are covered in the CDL endorsement guide.

How Much Do Truck Drivers Make in Delaware?
Delaware's heavy and tractor-trailer truck driver median is $57,590 in the May 2025 BLS release. It sits $1,050 below the national median of $58,640. The state estimate is based on 9,040 heavy and tractor-trailer truck driver jobs, so read the wage range together with the size of that employment base.
A median leaves out both ends of the distribution. For this state, BLS reports $46,850 at the 10th percentile and $69,770 at the 90th, a $22,920 gap.
The figures cover wage-and-salary workers across experience levels and exclude self-employed drivers. Use the truck driver salary table for the national figures and every state, and read the truck driver career guide before connecting school choice to a specific job plan.
