160-Hour Program
Available Four Weeks or Ten Weekends
The 160-hour course offers you the most drive-time, giving you the best preparation for a new career in the transportation industry. Many national trucking companies require a minimum of 160 hours to meet their employment standards. We created our curriculum to match what national companies are looking for and to meet federal and state requirements.
We offer classes in both manual and automatic vehicles, with new classes starting every Monday. If you choose to train in a manual transmission truck, you can avoid having an automatic restriction on your license. Our program comes with ELDT theory, a CDL test, and a retest. Additionally, we cover the cost of the license fee at the DMV.
To start the 160-hour program, you'll need a CDL permit and a DOT medical certificate. We're here to help with study materials and any assistance you might need. Contact us to get started!
