Message from Bubba Bailey:

After many years in the CDL training industry, I made the decision to step away from my previous role to pursue a vision that has been on my heart for some time-creating a training program that truly puts students first.

That vision is now a reality with the launch of 282 CDL Academy.

At 282 CDL Academy, our focus is simple: provide high-quality, hands-on training that prepares students not just to pass the CDL exam, but to succeed in real-world driving careers. We are committed to integrity, safety, and personalized instruction, ensuring every student receives the attention and support they deserve.

We are excited to build something new for our community and to help meet the growing demand for skilled, professional drivers. Thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey.
