Lorac Academy
Lorac Academy - Greensboro, NC
Lorac Academy trains new drivers for careers behind the wheel, with campuses in Greensboro and Durham, North Carolina. The school prepares students for both Class A and Class B commercial licenses, and also runs programs in truck dispatching plus a catalog of online continuing education courses, including ELDT.
Instruction comes from a team that has spent real time in the industry, not just the classroom. Coursework pairs range practice with actual road time, and most students finish the program in a handful of weeks. Housing and meals are included during enrollment, which removes a common obstacle for people relocating or leaving another job to retrain.
Support continues past graduation. Lorac connects students with carriers through its placement program, walks applicants through tuition assistance options, and offers a no-cost career consultation to anyone weighing the switch. Drivers who trained elsewhere can also schedule skills testing on site.
The academy draws students from across the Piedmont and Triangle, including Raleigh, Winston-Salem, Burlington, Chapel Hill, Cary, High Point, Asheboro, and nearby towns.
Lorac Academy's core program is 160 hours of training completed in four weeks - about 50 hours in the classroom and lab, and 110 hours in the field behind the wheel. Students cover industry regulations, hours of service, vehicle systems, pre-trip inspections, and hazardous materials, then move into coupling, backing, shifting, and driving on city streets, highways, and mountain roads. The written exam comes after week one, and the road test is given on the final day by an on-site third-party examiner.
Class A and Class B tracks are both available, along with an 80-hour refresher for drivers who already hold a CDL. Students who can't attend full-time can choose weekend classes (8–10 weekends) or evening classes (8 weeks). Tuition runs roughly $4,000 all-in, including the DOT physical, drug screening, permit and license fees, materials, and the final road test. Room and board is available for out-of-state students, and financing and payment plans are offered.
