4.6average score
1stby size in this category

Chicago, Illinois has 19 schools across 14 ZIP codes, which is 15% of everything listed for Illinois.

All of them sit in Cook County.

These 19 entries come from a register that publishes no registration dates at all. They were on the register when it was last refreshed, on September 22, 2026.

All 19 hold the same class of registration: FMCSA-registered ELDT training provider.

16 of the 19 (84%) hold more than one class of registration. Across this page the classes held include Class A (16), Hazardous Materials (13), Class B (7), Passenger (6), School Bus (3).

By what they actually deliver: 19 offer classroom or online theory instruction, 16 offer behind-the-wheel training on public roads and 16 offer behind-the-wheel training on a range. 16 of the 19 can deliver both the range and the public-road portions, which matters because 49 CFR 380.707(c) allows the theory and behind-the-wheel portions to come from different providers but requires both behind-the-wheel portions to come from the same one. 3 offer theory only, so a trainee using one of them needs a second provider for the driving half.

18 of 19 publish a phone number and 17 have a website.

The Training Provider Registry publishes a phone number and a website for some providers and not for others, so the coverage below varies by place.

16 of the 19 have a Google rating, averaging 4.6 across 2707 reviews. Scores run from 4.1 to 5.0.

Chicago, Illinois ranks 1st of the 80 cities covered in this category, holding 15% of the listings, ahead of 79 others.

Every record on this page comes from Training Provider Registry, published by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov as dataset training-provider-registry.

What the rules require

What is the nearest option outside Chicago?
Progressive Truck Driving School, INC (Cicero) in Cicero, about 1.2 miles away in a straight line. Open the listing for directions.
How many schools are there in Cook county?
49 in Cook county and 126 across Illinois.
Are these schools currently licensed?
The state register these records come from publishes no registration dates. Each of these 19 facilities appeared in the register when it was last refreshed, on September 22, 2026. Confirm the current position with the facility or the issuing authority before relying on it.
Why does one address hold several licenses?
Because a row in the source register is a registration, not a business. 16 of the 19 entries on this page hold more than one class of registration at the same address. They are merged into a single entry here, keyed on the place rather than on the registration, so one business is one listing and every class it holds is shown in its record detail.
Which of these can do the behind-the-wheel training?
16 of the 19 are registered for both the range and the public-road portions. 3 offer theory only. The distinction matters: 49 CFR 380.707(c) permits the theory and behind-the-wheel portions to be delivered by separate providers, but requires both behind-the-wheel portions, range and public road, to come from the same provider. Breakdown here: theory instruction 19, behind-the-wheel public-road training 16, behind-the-wheel range training 16.
How many are rated?
16 of 19 have a Google rating, averaging 4.6 across 2707 reviews.
