The Arkansas Trucking Academy (ArkTA) at UAHT is your fastest and most economical choice to move you into a new and exciting commercial truck driving career. Our program is made possible by an Arkansas Regional Workforce grant, which means our program will save you thousands of the cost of a private trucking academy. In a matter of weeks, you can have a commercial driver’s license (CDL) and the skills needed to be employed and earning competitive wages in the field of transportation.
