Welcome

Thank you for your interest in AKA Hauling Commercial Driving School, LLC. With over 50 years of experience in the Alaskan trucking industry, we pride ourselves on raising the bar of excellence by delivering CDL training that produces confident, skilled, and safe drivers.

 

Our training programs adhere to the February 7, 2022, Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT) regulations set forth by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Regulations. Conveniently, we offer both classroom training and testing at our facility, authorized by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) as a Commercial Driver License Road Skills Test Facility.

 

The greatest benefit to our students is our commitment to small classroom sizes, ensuring individual attention and a relaxed atmosphere. We invest in each student by providing one-on-one behind-the-wheel (BTW) training, rather than group training, to enhance their understanding and success in passing the CDL exam.

History

For over 22 years, AKA Hauling has been a cornerstone of Alaska’s trucking industry. In 2018, recognizing a shortage of rural commercial drivers, AKA Hauling collaborated with the DOT Civil Rights Office, DMV, University of Anchorage Alaska, AML, and Yakutat Tribal Council to initiate a pilot CDL training program in Yakutat, AK. This initiative not only mitigated individual travel expenses but also enabled participants to fulfill work and family commitments concurrently.

​

 

Building on the success of the Yakutat program, AKA Hauling forged a partnership with the UAA to address similar needs in Anchorage. Starting in April 2024, AKA Hauling has evolved into AKA Hauling Commercial Driving School LLC, now operating independently. This transformation extends our program to the broader public in rural Alaska as well as Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau, while steadfastly pursuing our mission of delivering exceptional, student-centered CDL training.

Philosophy

AKA Hauling Commercial Driving School is committed to delivering quality career training programs that are not only job-relevant but also equip our students with employable skills. Our dedicated instructors bring extensive knowledge and field experience to the courses they teach. Our philosophy is guided by specific objectives:

 

  • Inclusive Training: Provide solid CDL training for all qualified students, ensuring a certified program that adheres to all federal and state requirements to the best of our ability.

 

  • Safety First: Protect everyone on the roads by cultivating skilled, knowledgeable, and safe drivers through our training programs.

 

  • Optimal Learning Environment: Maintain a safe and clean teaching environment that fosters effective learning for both our students and staff.
