Tired of the road?

Help the next generation of drivers build their future — while building yours.

The reality most experienced drivers face

  • You have valuable skills and real-world experience, but nowhere to use them locally in a stable way.

  • Many training programs feel chaotic or outdated — and you know students deserve better.

  • You want to teach, mentor, and stay in the industry you love… without burning out.

We get it.

We’re drivers and trainers too.

Zia CDL Academy is the Permian Basins' Premier CDL training provider. We’re FMCSA-approved and focused on hands-on, practical training that gets students job-ready fast.

We’re not a giant corporate school — we’re local, growing, and committed to doing training right. That’s why we need great instructors like you to join our team.

I joined with zero knowledge on how to get my CDL. Luisa helped me acquire the necessary information. Alejandro, Aaron, and Gabby helped me get OTR experience and job ready skill set. I just landed my first job. Best decision I've made!!
