Commercial Driver’s License Programs—CDL
These programs provide the training and skills for individuals to pass the three-part CDL Exam. Students learn in the classroom, practice hands-on driving on our training course and on the highway. They receive instruction on such topics as Tanker, Doubles/Triples and Hazmat endorsements as well as hours of service, weight and balance, and vehicle out of service regulations. CDL program trainees will receive a Certificate of Completion, a Forklift Training card and an Air Brake Training card that will be issued upon successful completion of those elements of the CDL Program.
