Requirements
To adequately prepare for the license exam, students should be prepared to attend all classes.
Students will need to pass a background check, DOT physical, drug screen, and obtain a CDL Permit to take this course. Once you register for the course we will work with you to ensure all the requirements are met before the beginning of class.
Please note that the DMV requires additional documentation to obtain a CDL license. Please check the DMV website for the documentation they require. This information is not required to take the class, but you will not be able to obtain a CDL license through the DMV without it.
