North Carolina licenses commercial truck driver training schools through the DMV under 19A NCAC 03J. A full school offering 160 hours or more of instruction files a $30,000 bond protecting students’ tuition — ours is $900 flat (3% of the bond), with a soft credit pull only.
















Your school license is waiting on this bond. Here is the entire process:
Business details, the county where the school is located, the effective date, and a short set of commercial questions — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The soft credit pull never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your commercial truck driver training school license.
$30,000 bond × 3% = $900, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
North Carolina licenses commercial truck (CDL) driver training schools through the DMV under 19A NCAC 03J. The rule sets the bond by program size: a full school offering 160 hours or more of instruction — classroom plus behind-the-wheel — files a $30,000 bond.
Smaller programs and seminar-only training file a $10,000 bond instead. This page is the $30,000 full-school bond — if you run a shorter or seminar-only program, you need the $10,000 bond, and we write that too.
The bond runs to the DMV for the benefit of enrolled students: if the school closes or breaches its obligations to past or present students, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the school repays the surety. It is not insurance for the school.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including commercial questions and a one-time soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
