CDL TRAINING

EIGHTEEN WHEELIN CDL TRAINING SCHOOL
Driving Change, One Mile at a Time

About Us
At Eighteen Wheelin CDL Training School, we’re more than just a truck-driving school; we’re a gateway to a second chance. Based in Florida, our mission is to empower formerly incarcerated individuals by providing them with the tools, skills, and certifications they need to secure high-paying, stable careers in the trucking industry.
Our 4-week program combines 1 week of classroom instruction and 3 weeks of hands-on training to prepare our students for success on and off the road. By partnering with organizations focused on reducing recidivism, we ensure that our students not only receive top-tier training but also the support network they need to rebuild their lives.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to change lives through opportunity and education. We believe everyone deserves a second chance, and we’re committed to breaking the cycle of recidivism by opening doors to careers in the transportation industry. With a focus on affordability, accessibility, and community impact, we aim to help individuals turn their setbacks into comebacks.

Why We’re Different
What sets Eighteen Wheelin CDL Training School apart is our unique approach. We work hand-in-hand with non-profit organizations and community partners to offer our services at zero cost to the student. This makes professional truck driver training accessible to those who need it most.

Our comprehensive program doesn't just teach driving skills; it instills confidence, discipline, and a sense of purpose. Every mile our students drive represents progress toward a brighter future.

Meet the Founder: Kevin Palmer
I’m Kevin Palmer, and I know firsthand how life-changing a CDL can be. After serving 3 years in prison, I turned my life around by earning my CDL and starting a career in trucking. That experience not only transformed my life but also fueled my passion to help others find their way out of tough circumstances.

Today, as a successful truck driver and entrepreneur, I’m dedicated to giving back by creating opportunities for others to rewrite their stories. At Eighteen Wheelin CDL Training School, we’re not just teaching people to drive trucks—we’re helping them take control of their futures.
