About & methodology

Verified CDL Schools is an independent directory, written and maintained by the Verified CDL Schools team. It is not affiliated with FMCSA or U.S. DOT.

Verified CDL Schools is a veteran-owned, independent site. If you're a veteran or service member, see CDL training for veterans.

Where the data comes from

Every night we read three public lists from FMCSA's Training Provider Registry: the public provider search (active locations), the "In Review" list and the "Removed" list. The latest pull (October 22, 2026) returned 31,140 active locations, 498 locations under review and 9,966 removal records. We keep a daily snapshot so changes in status can be tracked over time.

What each status means here

• Active: the location appears in the registry's public search with no review notice.
• Under review: the registry shows a notice of proposed removal (49 CFR 380.723) for the location.
• Removed: the location appears on the registry's removed list and not in the public search. The date and type of removal are as FMCSA reports them.

What we don't publish

We publish only business information: the provider or location name, city and state, the street address when the provider shows it publicly, training types, status and status dates, and the business website. We never publish personal emails or the names of registrant contacts. We don't publish phone numbers either, except toll-free business lines the provider has chosen to display. When a listing's business name looks like a private individual's name, we withhold it. For removed and under-review locations we show only city and state, matching FMCSA's public lists.

Corrections

The registry is the source of truth. If a status looks wrong, check the official registry. Changes there show up here after the next nightly update.

We report each location's status, status date and removal type exactly as FMCSA's registry shows them, with the retrieval date. We don't describe, characterize or speculate about why a provider was removed or put under review, and a removal or review notice on this site is not an allegation of wrongdoing by us.
