CDL Training
Are you interested in becoming a truck driver? With a Class A CDL license, you’ll be able to transport cargo across state lines with a tractor-trailer. Roadmaster is a great Truck Driving School that can help you get your Class A CDL in about a month. After you’ve acquired your license, you’ll be ready to go to your employer for additional training and onboarding.
Which type of CDL License Do I Need?
To drive a commercial motor vehicle, anyone operating it must hold a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). This type of license requires more advanced skills and knowledge compared to those needed to operate a car or a lighter vehicle.
For any combination of vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, including towing a vehicle of 10,000 or more pounds, a Class A CDL License is required. These are mainly for long-distance tractor-trailer drives.
A Class B CDL License is required for single vehicles with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, such as buses, dump trucks, tow trucks, delivery trucks, and garbage trucks.
How Long is CDL Training?
A comprehensive CDL training program, like Roadmaster, typically takes about one month to complete. The program consists of both practical truck driving experience and classroom instruction. If you have no prior experience, enrolling in an ELDT-compliant truck driving school like Roadmaster is a must.
