Comparing CDL schools in Tennessee metros
Tennessee has 91 registered training locations across 47 cities. Memphis has 12, Nashville has seven, Chattanooga has six, and Murfreesboro has five. Those four clusters create several metro-level searches instead of one statewide center. Begin with the region where you can attend consistently, then include surrounding cities within a realistic radius. A school that saves a few dollars but adds hours of repeated travel may change the real commitment. Use the exact training address and its registered components to define comparable choices.
Class B appears at 67 Tennessee locations and 60 list theory, range, and public-road components. Class A appears at 61, with 52 showing all three. Passenger training is registered at 53 locations, school bus at 44, and hazardous materials theory at 24. The main classes both have broad coverage, while endorsement categories narrow the pool. A Class A candidate should not weigh a Class B-focused location simply because both use CDL in their description. Compare entries only after the class and every needed component line up.
Tennessee's May 2025 BLS estimate includes 64,890 heavy and tractor-trailer truck driver jobs. The median wage is $58,620, almost at the $58,640 national median in the same release. Tennessee's 10th percentile is $39,960 and its 90th percentile is $83,280, which shows how much the statewide distribution extends around the midpoint. The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security supplies official state CDL information. Ask matching providers for current prices, class dates, enrollment steps, equipment access, and the structure of behind-the-wheel practice at the listed site.
