Entry-Level Driver Training
There are several options available for individuals wanting to get their CDL depending on your needs.
​
If you are looking to drive for the big trucking companies, then you should consider the 160-hour or 200-hour training. By attending these programs you will receive a training certificate from an approved truck driving program. Most large trucking companies require these certificates as it is industry standard.
​
Please be aware that the following packages do not include this training certificate, but do meet ELDT requirements.
Being able to offer “ELDT Training” is not the same as an approved truck driving school.
