About this data

Where the list comes from and what it does and does not say

2in the state register
1rated
5.0average score
10thby size in this category

Des Plaines, Illinois has 2 schools across 2 ZIP codes, which is 2% of everything listed for Illinois.

All of them sit in Cook County.

These 2 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 2 hold the same class of registration: FMCSA-registered ELDT training provider.

2 of the 2 (100%) hold more than one class of registration. Across this page the classes held include Class A (2), Class B (1), Hazardous Materials (1).

By what they actually deliver: 2 offer classroom or online theory instruction, 1 offer behind-the-wheel training on public roads and 1 offer behind-the-wheel training on a range. 1 of the 2 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. 1 offers theory only, so a trainee using it needs a second provider for the driving half.

1 of 2 publish a phone number and 2 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.

1 of the 2 have a Google rating, averaging 5.0 across 91 reviews.

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

Des Plaines: questions

Where can I find schools in Des Plaines, IL?
2 schools in Des Plaines are on the official list: 160 Driving Academy - Des Plaines - Classroom and Yard at 1600 Golf Rd; Pro Driver Cdl School - Central Office at 1245 E Forest Ave, Suite 12. 1 of them publish a phone number.
What is the nearest option outside Des Plaines?
Viking Driving School INC in Park Ridge, about 2.8 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 2 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. 2 of the 2 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?
1 of the 2 are registered for both the range and the public-road portions. 1 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 2, behind-the-wheel public-road training 1, behind-the-wheel range training 1.
How many are rated?
1 of 2 have a Google rating, averaging 5.0 across 91 reviews.
