Upgrade classes are free to Teamster members who have been working for, or are sponsored by a contributing employer under the Master Construction Agreement. You must be a Teamster in good standing and if you are not working, you must be on the construction out-of-work list. All CDL courses i.e. CDL Class A and CDL Class B require tuition to be paid unless you are sponsored by a contributory employer.

If you are not qualified for training under the Master Construction Agreement, you might qualify for tuition assistance from an outside agency.

As a courtesy, we have listed some of the agencies below that have provided funding to students in the past. This list is not intended to be inclusive of all financial assistance agencies available. We encourage you to do your own research.
