School Highlights
Starline CDL School is a Class A CDL training provider located in Woodland, Washington, serving students throughout the Pacific Northwest. The school was founded by Eric Mwarabu, who brings fourteen years of professional driving experience, including hauling freight through difficult conditions and managing fleet operations, to the training programs he designed.
Starline CDL School offers both morning and evening class schedules, along with a Class B to Class A CDL upgrade course, to accommodate students at different stages of their driving careers. The school emphasizes small class sizes, extensive hands-on wheel time, and personal coaching over high enrollment numbers. Its curriculum is grounded in FMCSA best practices combined with real-world, road-tested instruction.
Safety is a central focus of the program, with training designed to produce drivers who are prepared to handle the responsibility of operating heavy commercial vehicles. The school's mission extends beyond licensing, aiming to develop well-trained, professional drivers who contribute positively to their communities and support local economies through skilled, well-paying careers.
Founder Eric Mwarabu remains actively involved in day-to-day instruction, often working directly with students on the practice range to demonstrate maneuvers and reinforce safety lessons firsthand.
