CDL

Students in the program spend the first 40 hours in the classroom preparing for the Commercial Learner’s Permit Exam.  After earning a permit, students spend the next four weeks focusing on vehicle inspection, preventative maintenance, and hands-on defensive driving.  They will have range practice, behind-the-wheel driving time, and one trip to Newport to test in the same vehicle used during the training program.

Students are required to demonstrate proficiency in shifting, backing up, and city and highway driving as required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules and regulations.

New classes form every 5 weeks.  Call to register!

Cost

$3,500

  • Additional training time after the program has concluded may incur an additional fee, to be determined.
  • If needed, additional testing fees will be $125 each.

The written permit test must be obtained before admission to the driving portion of the class.

Student Testimonials

Kenny, the CDL instructor, is a great and patient person. He is very knowledgeable and does a great job in a short time frame. My overall experience with the Pocahontas BRTC CDL Program was exceptional. The hours were flexible and they have a great instructor. I’ll recommend this program and location to anyone who wants to get a Class A License.

BRTC is very student-oriented and the CDL program team demonstrated this from day one!

Casey Middlecoff

The people over the Truck Driving Program are second to none. Everyone involved worked extra time with me and my shortcomings so I would succeed in receiving my Class A CDL. The instructor, Kenny Higginbotham, did an awesome job explaining everything I needed to know to feel comfortable taking the tests. I recommend the Pocahontas BRTC CDL Program to anyone who is looking for a driving career.
