Class A training in South Carolina

26 registered providers20 cities26 range and public roadAll CDL training in South CarolinaWhat this training requiresUpdated September 2026

Class A is the combination-vehicle group. The curriculum is the longest of the five and is the only one that has to teach coupling and uncoupling, because that is what defines the group. 26 schools in South Carolina are on the official list published by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The most are in Columbia (3), Greenville (2), Duncan (2). 25 publish a phone number.

Other endorsements in South Carolina

Different curriculum, different test, different providers

What Class A training has to cover

The federal requirements for this endorsement

49 CFR 383.91(a)(1) defines Group A as any combination of vehicles with a gross combination weight rating of 11,794 kilograms or more (26,001 pounds or more), provided the gross vehicle weight rating of the vehicle or vehicles being towed is in excess of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds). That definition, not the job title, is what decides whether a driver needs Class A.

The training itself is set by Appendix A to 49 CFR Part 380, and its opening paragraph contains four rules worth knowing before booking anything:

  • There is no minimum number of hours, for theory or for behind-the-wheel, but the instructor must cover every topic in the curriculum. A school advertising a fixed number of weeks is describing its own programme, not a federal requirement.
  • Behind-the-wheel training must be conducted in a vehicle for which a Class A CDL is required. Training in a straight truck does not satisfy it.
  • A simulator cannot be used to conduct behind-the-wheel training or to demonstrate proficiency, which Appendix A ties back to the definitions of range and public-road training in 380.605.
  • The instructor must determine and document proficiency in every element of the behind-the-wheel curriculum, and must document the total clock hours each trainee spent.

Appendix A also carries an upgrade path the other appendices do not: a Class A applicant who already holds a valid Class B CDL may complete the Theory Instruction Upgrade Curriculum in place of the standard theory curriculum. That is a materially shorter route and it is worth asking a provider whether it offers it.

On content, the Class A theory curriculum runs from Section A1.1 Basic Operation through orientation, control systems and dashboard, pre- and post-trip inspections tied to 49 CFR 392.7 and 396.11, basic control, shifting and operating transmissions, and backing and docking. The backing unit is explicit about teaching "Get Out and Look", evaluating backing and loading facilities, and backing with spotters. The orientation unit has to cover disqualification provisions and fines for non-compliance with Parts 380, 382, 383 and 390 through 399, plus weigh stations, size and weight limits, low clearances and bridge formulas.

26in the directory
26in the state register
20cities
17counties

The largest concentration is in Columbia: 3 of 26 (12%). Other cities covered include Duncan (2), Greenville (2), Lancaster (2), Orangeburg (2), Anderson (1), and 14 more.

By county, the 26 entries fall across 17 counties; the largest are Greenville (3), Richland (3), Spartanburg (3), Jasper (2).

These 26 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 26 hold the same class of registration: FMCSA-registered ELDT training provider, in the source's own wording.

20 of the 26 (77%) 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 (26), Class B (15), Hazardous Materials (12), Passenger (7), School Bus (5).

By what they actually deliver: 26 offer behind-the-wheel training on public roads, 26 offer behind-the-wheel training on a range and 25 offer classroom or online theory instruction. 26 of the 26 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.

25 of 26 publish a phone number and 15 have 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.

4 of the 26 entries could not be placed on a map: the register gives a PO box, a bare route number or a road junction rather than a street address, and 4 of those are currently on the register. They are listed and searchable here by name, city and county, and left out of the map and the "nearest to me" results. Guessing a plausible position for a PO box would be worse than admitting there is not one.

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.

Class A in South Carolina: questions

Which cities in Class A training in South Carolina have schools?
By count: Columbia (3), Duncan (2), Greenville (2), Lancaster (2), Orangeburg (2), Anderson (1), Cheraw (1), Fairfax (1), Greenwood (1), Greer (1), plus 10 more. Addresses, registration class and, where the register publishes them, registration dates are in the list above.
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 26 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. 20 of the 26 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?
26 of the 26 are registered for both the range and the public-road portions. 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 public-road training 26, behind-the-wheel range training 26, theory instruction 25.
Why do the cards not show star ratings?
No public rating has been matched to any of these 26 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.
Why are some entries missing from the map?
4 of these 26 records give a PO box, a bare route number or a road junction instead of a street address, so no coordinate could be derived for them. They are still listed and searchable by name, city and county, and they are left out of the map and the "nearest to me" results. Placing a PO box at a plausible-looking point would make the map look complete and be wrong.

Get told when the register changes

Licenses lapse and get renewed constantly: in the current data nearly a quarter of the records in one state register have already expired. We re-check the registers and email a short summary of what moved.

One email when the register data is refreshed or a rule changes. No more than monthly.
