CDL Training

From entry level driver training to defensive driving for skilled professional drivers, SoLAcc has what you need to get your Class A license and work in the transportation industry.

Our short-term CDL training lets you master real-world skills in a hands-on environment, where you'll learn FMCSA rules and regulations, pre-trip inspection practices, backing maneuvers, and necessary road skills in a variety of settings and trailers including flatbeds, box vans, tankers, and a 53' state-of-the-art mobile truck driver simulator trailer.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This comprehensive training program includes 245-hour of classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction. The final skills test necessary to receive a state license is administered by SoLAcc's state-approved examiners.

Completers who obtain their state license are qualified to drive tractor-trailers, dump trucks, tow trucks, delivery trucks, tanker trucks, and flatbed trucks.
