Reviewing every Rhode Island CDL school location

Rhode Island has four registered training locations across four cities: Cranston, Johnston, Pascoag, and Pawtucket, with one location in each. This is the smallest state directory, and it is compact enough to read every card rather than relying on a city filter. Put the four addresses against your actual commute and note which training categories appear at each one. A small list makes direct verification especially important because removing one location for distance or credential mismatch changes the comparison immediately. Provider names matter less than whether the registered site can serve the license route you have chosen.

All four Rhode Island locations list Class B theory, range, and public-road training. Three list all three passenger components. Two list a complete Class A sequence, two list a complete school bus sequence, and two list hazardous materials theory. Those exact counts turn a general school search into a short credential-specific decision. A Class B candidate can review the full directory. A Class A or school bus candidate should begin with the two matching entries and confirm how the registered components are scheduled at those addresses.

The May 2025 BLS estimate counts 3,620 heavy and tractor-trailer truck driver jobs in Rhode Island. The median wage is $60,190, with $45,600 at the 10th percentile and $75,120 at the 90th percentile. The small employment count behind those figures makes them a broad view of the occupation rather than an earnings forecast. The Rhode Island Division of Motor Vehicles is the official source for state CDL information. Ask each viable training location for current prices, course dates, enrollment requirements, and the arrangements for equipment, range work, and public-road instruction.
