- Moving van: When people move between homes, they often hire a professional service to help them transport their belongings. Qualified drivers are needed to operate the vans.

LEARN
To train for your CDL, you must be at least 18 years old. You should also possess a valid driver’s license and be able to pass a DOT physical test. More information on CDL requirements can be found on the New Jersey State Commercial Driver License website. If you meet these requirements, then you can start your CDL journey by enrolling in a truck driver testing training course at Driving Academy.

The training courses at Driving Academy are designed to provide all the tools and information our students need for the exam, including practice permit tests, priming them for first-time success.
