Commercial driving School
Working
with area trucking firms, this is an intensive program of
classroom, lab, and over-the-road training to equip potential
drivers with the skills they need to earn a Class A Commercial
Driver’s License (CDL) and become successful. Learn how to

pride in a job well done. Students get hands-on experience
while in training, including backing into a variety of dock
