About Elite Truck School

High-Quality Truck Driver Training And Personalized Attention

Every member of our CDL driver training staff is thoroughly trained.  Our truck school includes an onsite loading dock and plenty of room to practice the necessary skills. In addition to helping you get the training you need, we offer 160 hours of Class A CDL truck driver training at our Portland area truck driving schools.

How We Started

Our CDL training school began in 2003 when our founder and owner, Greg Reisnaur, saw the need for professionally trained truck drivers. To meet this demand, he built a business to start offering truck driving courses that delivered a high standard of training, all while remaining affordable and convenient for students. Today, we provide 160 hours of Class A CDL training classes, and our school is WIOA and VA-approved.

Our Mission Statement

Elite Truck School is dedicated to addressing the transportation sector’s pressing demand for professional truck drivers. We guide aspiring drivers in making informed career choices, offering them comprehensive tractor-trailer training for a fruitful career ahead. Our commitment extends to delivering the industry with the most skilled and dedicated professionals.

More About Our Founder

Greg has had a career in the trucking industry that few people in America can surpass. He has had accomplishments in the industry that only a small percentage of people have experienced.

 Accomplishments
  • 1989 Oregon Truck Driving Champion
  • 1990 Oregon Truck Driving Champion
  • 1992 Oregon Road Team Captain
  • 1993 America’s Road Team Captain

The America’s Road Team is a program developed and supported by the American Trucking Associations. The program annually selects about 10 professional truck drivers out of thousands of applicants nationally to promote the trucking industry. In choosing Road Team Captains, they look for candidates who promote a professional image, have full knowledge and understanding of the industry, possess a passion for safety, have a superior safety record, and have the ability to speak and educate all sectors of the public. Road Team functions include participating in newspaper interviews, radio talk shows, and television interviews, as well as speaking at community and company functions, events, and meetings.

The Oregon Road Team program is identical to the America’s Road Team, except it is on a state level as opposed to a national level.
