About this data

Where the list comes from and what it does and does not say
3in the directory
3in the state register
2counties
2ndby size in this category

Reno, Nevada has 3 schools across 2 ZIP codes, which is 12% of everything listed for Nevada.

These 3 entries come from a register that publishes no registration dates at all. For those, the only thing that can honestly be said is that the facility appeared in the state register when it was last refreshed, on September 22, 2026. No issue, renewal or expiry date is shown for them, and none is guessed.

All 3 hold the same class of registration: FMCSA-registered ELDT training provider, in the source's own wording.

3 of the 3 (100%) hold more than one class of registration. Each is one entry here, with every class it holds shown in its record detail. Across this page the classes held include Class A (3), Hazardous Materials (2), Class B (1).

By what they actually deliver: 2 offer behind-the-wheel training on a range, 2 offer classroom or online theory instruction and 1 offer behind-the-wheel training on public roads. 1 of the 3 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.

2 of 3 publish a phone number and 1 has a website. Phone numbers are normalized to one format here; the registers publish them several different ways.

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.

The map positions come from the register itself rather than from an address lookup. No distance claim is made anywhere in this text; the "nearest to me" list computes straight-line distances in your own browser from your own location.

Reno, Nevada ranks 2nd of the 12 cities covered in this category, holding 12% of the listings, ahead of 10 others.

For a wider choice, the largest cities in this category are Las Vegas (10), Winnemucca (3), Carson City (2), Boulder City (1). They are ordered by how many entries each holds, not by how close they are.

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. Each card carries the date the record was last re-checked.

What the rules require

Reno: questions

Where can I find schools in Reno, NV?
3 schools in Reno are on the official list: 160 Driving Academy - Reno - Classroom at 465 South Meadows Parkway, Suite 12; Desert Knight CDL School at 1350 N Wells Ave; Nevada Desert Truck Driving School at 2950 Sutro St. 2 of them publish a phone number.
What is the nearest option outside Reno?
Desert Knight CDL School in Sparks, about 6.7 miles away in a straight line. Open the listing for directions.
How many schools are there in Washoe county?
4 in Washoe county and 26 across Nevada.
Are these schools currently licensed?
The state register these records come from publishes no registration dates, so the honest answer is narrower than it looks: each of these 3 facilities appeared in the register when it was last refreshed, on September 22, 2026. No expiry date is shown because none is published, and none is guessed. 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 state register is a license, not a business. 3 of the 3 entries on this page hold more than one class at the same address, typically an inspection license alongside a repair or dealer license. They are merged into a single entry here, keyed on the facility rather than on the license, so one shop is one listing and its other classes appear on its own page.
Which of these can do the behind-the-wheel training?
1 of the 3 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: behind-the-wheel range training 2, theory instruction 2, behind-the-wheel public-road training 1.
Why do the cards not show star ratings?
No public rating has been matched to any of these 3 records, so no stars are shown. The registration record is the stronger signal in any case: where the register publishes them, the issue date, last renewal, expiry and the Training Provider Registry listing all come from the issuing authority, which is not true of a star average.
