Comparing CDL schools across Hawaii locations
Hawaii has 31 registered locations across 14 cities, and island geography makes those counts more than a convenience measure. Kapolei has seven locations, Hilo has five, and Honolulu and Kailua-Kona each have three. A location on another island is not part of an ordinary commute, so build your list around the training addresses you can actually reach. Even within the same island, confirm where the classroom, range, and public-road portions occur. The directory's city totals show the larger clusters, but the individual card tells you where a provider registered its training site.
Class A training appears at 29 of Hawaii's locations, with 26 listing theory, range, and public-road components. Class B appears at 25 locations and 22 show all three components. Passenger training is registered at 13 locations, school bus at seven, and hazardous materials theory at 18. The tractor-trailer and straight-truck pools are relatively broad compared with the bus categories. Choose the license class first, then check whether the same location registers each component you need instead of treating every CDL label as interchangeable.
Hawaii's May 2025 BLS estimate includes 4,070 heavy and tractor-trailer truck driver jobs. The median wage is $59,820. The 10th percentile stands at $47,480 and the 90th at $74,530. Those figures cover the occupation statewide and should not be read as a school outcome. For licensing guidance, use the Hawaii Department of Transportation and county driver licensing offices. That structure makes the official state and county resources important after you identify a training site. Providers remain the source for current dates, prices, and enrollment details.

Training Options at CDL Schools in Hawaii
The registry shows 26 Hawaii locations with Class A theory, range, and road registration. The comparable Class B count is 22, which is 4 lower.
Of the three endorsement-related filters, hazardous materials theory returns the most addresses at 18. 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 Hawaii?
Hawaii's heavy and tractor-trailer truck driver median is $59,820 in the May 2025 BLS release. It sits $1,180 above the national median of $58,640. The employment base contains 4,070 heavy and tractor-trailer truck driver jobs. That count matters when you interpret one statewide wage midpoint.
The statewide pay range stretches $27,050 between the 10th and 90th percentiles. Those endpoints are $47,480 and $74,530, respectively.
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.

Licensing Steps After Comparing CDL Schools in Hawaii
CDL training and state licensing are separate steps. Hawaii Department of Transportation and county driver licensing offices publishes the current Hawaii instructions, while the federal Training Provider Registry identifies training locations and the training types attached to them.
