WRITTEN CDL EXAM
During the first portion of your training, you’ll be preparing for the written CDL exam, which tests your knowledge of how to safely operate a semi-truck. You’ll need to pass the general knowledge test, among others, in order to earn your commercial learner’s permit (CLP).
In addition, our program includes three endorsements: hazardous materials (hazmat), tanker, and doubles/triples. These can expand the opportunities that are available to you over the course of your trucking career
HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE
Once you’ve passed the written CDL test and have your CLP, you’ll transition into hands-on training. This portion of the program prepares you for the CDL skills test and includes supervised driving time in a real semi-truck, not a simulator. Additionally, you’ll learn how to perform a pre-trip inspection.
