CDL Test Prep

We will also offer a Class A program for those who do not hold a commercial learner permit (CLP). This evening course is a combination of lecture, video and study materials and will give you a general review to help you pass the CLP exam. Graduates who pass the test receive a Class B or Class A learner’s permit from the DMV. Students must obtain a medical certification prior to testing.

Our curriculum-based, self-paced, hands-on approach to CDL training will provide students with the knowledge and skill-set needed to become a successful professional truck driver. Our training methods will include online instruction, in-depth classroom instruction, various hours and safety training on our Mobile Simulator, and behind-the-wheel training.
