Step 1
Pick the type of CDL you would like
A CDL Class A Vehicle is one that weighs more than 26.000 lbs. and has a trailer that weighs more than 10.000 lbs. For example, a Tractor Trailer. Once someone has a CDL Class A license, they can also drive any Class B Vehicle.
CDL Class B vehicles are defined as any vehicle that weighs more than 26.000 lbs. and has no trailer, or if there is a trailer it must weigh less than 10.000 Ibs. Some examples are a box truck, dump truck, garbage truck, and cement truck, just to name a few.
A CDL Class B+ P Vehicle is one that weighs more than 26.000 lbs. and has a carrier with 16 or more passengers. For example, a Passenger Bus. Once someone has a CDL Class B + P license they can also drive any Class B Vehicle.
Step 2
Pick Your Course
Guaranteed Training Courses
Our guaranteed training courses are the most extensive courses that we offer. These courses usually include over 100 hours of training. They are built for people who take their future CDL career very seriously. These courses offer classroom training for you to pass the written tests and get your CDL Permit. They also come with yard and road training to get you prepared to pass the CDL road test as well. We are so confident in the success of this course that anyone who has enrolled into this course will have unlimited road test attempts and vehicle rentals. Which means you have unlimited tries to pass all CDL Testing both written and road. As long as the student shows up and participates in all of our scheduled training and re-training, we will stick with them until they get a CDL.
Full Courses
Driving Academy’s full courses have been designed to take our students from zero to hero in driving. The full courses start off with classroom training to help our students pass the written exams, which will earn them a valid CDL permit. We will then bring our students to the yard and train them to successfully pass in the CDL road test. Our full courses also include a limited amount of truck rentals for the CDL test as well as our life time job placement program. However, they do not come with unlimited road test attempts like the Guaranteed training course does.
Half Courses
We have designed these courses for students who already have a CDL permit. If you have a valid CDL permit, there is no need to start off with classroom training – we will move you right into our yard training. In our yard, we will train you to pass the very difficult two-and-a-half hour CDL road test. Our yard training can be split into 3 main categories – inspection training, basic skills /parking maneuvers, and proper road driving. These courses will also come with a limited amount of road test rentals as well.
Refresher Courses
We also have training options available for people who have their CDL already but have not used them in a long time. Refresher course can be required by a company your looking to be hired by if you do not have any recent experience. We are here to help you brush off the cob webs and get you back to the skills you need to become successful in this industry. During our refresher course we will be training you how to inspect your truck inside and out, park your tractor trailer as well as road driving either with a manual or automatic.
Custom Corporate Training Courses
Our Team offers group or corporate training options as well. If your company or team is in need of getting a CDL or if you need some refresher courses we are here to help. We can set up a time for your team to come to us or if your team is big enough, we might be able to come to you. Give our office a call for more info 908-525-3609.
