Limited-time new offering
Featured listings for CDL schools
Pick where you want to appear: one city, a whole state, or nationwide. Each tier is a clearly labeled Sponsored by box for Active TPR schools. It is not a ranking buy — paying never changes FMCSA registry status, dates, or who appears in the organic list.
In short
Active CDL training providers on FMCSA’s Training Provider Registry can buy Sponsored placement on Verified CDL Schools. Your free registry listing stays exactly where it is. Choose City, State, or Nationwide below — then tell us which city or state after you pay (or email first). Limited slots per city / state.

How it works
1. Pay for your tier
Use the Stripe button for City, State, or Nationwide. Card checkout; subscription auto-renews every 30 days in advance.
2. Email school + geography
Send [email protected] your school name and the city (City tier) or state (State tier). Nationwide: school name only. Or email first if you want the slot confirmed before paying.
3. We confirm & place
We verify your location is Active on the public registry and publish your Sponsored box within 2 business days after payment clears.
4. Auto-renew monthly
Cancel anytime — billing stops; the box stays through the end of the paid period. No refunds for the current period.
What you get (every tier)
- A box labeled Sponsored by above the organic school list on the pages your tier covers.
- Your school name, location line, one short factual blurb, and a link to your official enrollment or program page (tagged
rel="sponsored"). - Optional enrichment you supply from your own site: classes, schedule, published tuition, or accepted funding — each with a link back to your official source.
What you do not get
- No status change. We never accept payment to change, hide, boost, or reword an FMCSA Active / Under review / Removed status or its dates.
- No ranking. The directory below the Featured box stays sorted the same way for everyone.
- Not a lead form or affiliate deal. Flat monthly placement fee only — not pay-per-lead and not an ELDT affiliate partnership.
- We may decline copy that claims “best,” “#1,” guaranteed jobs, or similar.
FAQ
City vs State vs Nationwide — what’s the difference?
City = one city page only. State = that state’s hub + every city page in the state. Nationwide = homepage + every state hub (not every city page). Pick the geography that matches where you enroll students.
Who can buy Featured?
Active public locations on FMCSA’s Training Provider Registry. Featured runs only while the location stays Active; if it goes Under review or Removed, the Sponsored box comes down.
Does paying change my FMCSA status on this site?
No. Status, dates, and who appears come from FMCSA’s public Training Provider Registry. Featured is a separate Sponsored label only.
How do cancel and refunds work?
Cancel anytime (email us or Stripe customer portal if linked). Auto-renew stops; your box stays through the end of the prepaid period. Always 30 days paid in advance. No refunds for the current period.
Are slots limited?
Yes — limited slots per city / state (soft caps: max 2 city sponsors per city, max 1 state sponsor per state, max 1 nationwide). First paid, confirmed Active school gets the slot.
How do I pay?
By card through Stripe for the tier you want: City $59/mo · State $149/mo · Nationwide $299/mo. Prefer email first so we confirm geography and Active status — or pay and email school + city/state right after.
Is this an affiliate or lead-gen program?
No. Featured is a flat monthly fee for labeled placement. Separately, we may run clearly disclosed ELDT affiliate links elsewhere; those are not Featured school listings.
Who do I contact?
Email [email protected]. Public byline on the site is Jake R; school sales mail is handled under that contact address.
