Commercial Driver School

Commercial Driver School™ is a privately owned commercial driver’s license training school with four convenient campuses across Washington state.

Our instructors are experienced commercial drivers who provide clear, practical classroom instruction and behind-the-wheel training for students earning or renewing a Class A, B, or C CDL. To accommodate busy schedules, we start new classes almost every week and offer both day and evening sessions Monday through Friday.

Through partnerships with respected industry employers, we also provide ongoing job placement assistance to help graduates secure local and regional trucking opportunities.

This commitment to quality and student success has made Commercial Driver School™ one of the fastest-growing and most highly regarded truck driver training programs in the country. Co-owners Victor and Petra Ratz credit our success to a dedicated team that delivers world-class training while upholding four core principles:

1. Prioritize authentic relationships. Technology and efficient systems are valuable, but they never replace genuine, accessible human interaction with students, staff, and partners.

2. Value diversity. Welcoming different backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives gives us the creative edge needed to solve complex challenges and thrive in a competitive market.

3. Lead by example. Our leadership consistently communicates and models our foundational values, empowering every team member to make confident, values-driven decisions.

4. Foster growth and accountability. We challenge, mentor, and recognize our staff because engaged employees deliver better results. We cultivate a culture where reasonable mistakes become learning opportunities and continuous professional development is a priority.
