A 9-to-5 job is what you have. A professional, high-paying CDL career is what you want. For most working adults in Santa Clara, the biggest question is “How?” How do you get the necessary training without quitting your job, losing your income, and risking your family’s financial stability?

The answer is simple: you don’t have to. The solution is Truck Driving School weekend classes, a program designed specifically for professionals who are ready for a new career but can’t afford to put their lives on hold.

What Are Weekend CDL Programs?

A weekend CDL program is exactly what it sounds like: a full-scope, certified truck driving course structured around Saturdays and Sundays. It’s not a “fast-track” or a “shortcut.” It is the complete CDL training, including all classroom, yard, and on-the-road hours, just delivered in a format that respects your existing schedule.

You get the same professional instructors, the same top-tier equipment, and the same comprehensive curriculum as a weekday student. The only difference is that you get to keep your weekday job.

Who Are Weekend Classes For?

This flexible model is the perfect fit for the most motivated people in the Bay Area:

Full-Time Professionals: Are you an office worker, a retail manager, or a tradesperson looking for a higher-paying, more stable career? This is your path.
Busy Parents: Weekend classes allow you to manage school drop-offs, family dinners, and your children’s schedules during the week while you build a better future for them on the weekends.
Budget-Conscious Individuals: The single biggest “hidden cost” of full-time training is lost wages. Weekend classes eliminate this problem. You continue to earn your full-time paycheck while you invest in your future.
How Doaba’s Santa Clara Program Works

Here at Doaba Truck Driving School, we built our weekend program for the realities of living in the Bay Area. We know you’re busy, and we know your time is valuable.

Our program is structured for maximum efficiency and real-world learning. Your weekend days will be focused and hands-on. While some theory and bookwork can be studied on your own time, your Saturdays and Sundays will be spent where it counts:

In the Yard: Mastering the pre-trip inspection, learning to couple and uncouple, and practicing the backing maneuvers that are critical for your CDL test.
On the Road: Getting real, behind-the-wheel experience with our veteran instructors, navigating the roads of Santa Clara and the South Bay.
You’ll be in a class with other students who are just as motivated as you are—people who know what it means to work hard to get ahead.

The Benefits: Earn While You Learn

The advantages of a weekend program are undeniable:

Zero Income Loss: Maintain your financial stability.
Less Financial Stress: Pay for your tuition with your current income, not your savings.
Learn at Your Own Pace: You get more time to absorb the material. You can spend the week studying the manual, and the concepts will be fresh in your mind for your weekend driving sessions.
A Job-Ready Transition: You can complete your training, pass your CDL test, and then give notice at your current job, with a new, high-paying career already lined up.
Don’t let your weekday job hold back your future career. Your new life as a professional driver is just a few weekends away.
