Portland Truck Driving Veteran Program

A hero is someone who has given their life to a cause larger than themselves, and we’re proud to be able to support Unites States veterans in career development through our professional truck driving training program. Through partnership with several organizations, we offer funding options to many veterans to ease the financial impact of tuition and fees. The savings don’t stop there, as a high percentage of our graduates are hired into companies that offer full tuition reimbursement. Some of our veteran funding partners include:

• Veteran’s Administration
• Oregon Worksource
• Trade Act/NAFTA
• Department of Vocational Rehabilitation

Our truck driving expertise began with our founder, Greg, who graduated from a Junior College Truck Driving program in 1983. From then on, Greg lived behind the wheel of everything from flatbeds to tankers and reefers to vans to master the craft of commercial transportation. His knowledge and experience greatly influence the curriculum of our CDL training program, and Elite Truck School is known to be the best professional truck driver training program in the Hillsboro/Portland area, all thanks to him. Greg is passionate about cultivating a program that caters to supporting veterans who wish to reenter the workforce, and we encourage them to start with us in a place that they’ll feel comfortable and have the utmost opportunity for success.
