No. Some schools only offer the training then send you to another school for testing.

In Colorado you can obtain a Commercial Drivers License at 18 years old. However, federal law prohibits anyone under the age of 21 from crossing state lines driving a commercial vehicle. You can obtain a CDL at 18 but can only work within the state until you reach the age of 21.

The type of vehicle you want to operate determines which CDL to get. Class A CDL is considered the most universal commercial driver’s license because it will allow you to drive almost any Class A or Class B vehicle. Class A CDL drivers can operate a semi or 18 wheeler (tractor trailer), truck and trailer combinations (double and triple trailers), tankers, and flatbeds. Class B CDL drivers can operate straight trucks, large buses, box trucks, and dump trucks.

Currently there is not a state or federal law that requires you to have a drivers license for a set length of time. There are many companies that require you to have a license for one year before obtaining a CDL, but not all of them.

You need a valid driver license from Colorado or another state or a commercial learner's permit. (CLP)

Our Class A course is based on a two week window running Monday through Friday. We leave the weekends to use as an option if a student needs more practice.

CDL303 train to the recommended standard of 40 “Behind the Wheel” hours for our full Class A CDL Course.

We utilize full size conventional sleeper cabs with manual 10 speed transmissions. You will train on the same type of equipment currently in use by most of the trucking industry.

You must pass 3 tests to obtain your CDL permit. General Knowledge, Combination and Air Brake tests. You must get a minimum score of 80% to pass. All of this is in the Colorado Commercial Drivers License Manual.

This is not a problem for getting licensed. It all depends on individual companies hiring criteria.

Prior to Feb 7th 2022 an individual could do the written testing for their permit and do the skills testing for their license without formal training. Many people learned on the job or got training from a friend. Moving forward, the institution doing the training must be listed on the Training Provider Registry (TPR). Completing these programs through a registered provider certifies your readiness to test at the DMV. Skills tests can’t be scheduled if you have not completed the online Theory and Behind the Wheel course through a registered provider.

Yes, per federal guidelines, you must pass a DOT drug test to operate a CMV (Commercial Motor Vehicle) and also a DOT physical test.
