According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association (FMCSA), “Driving a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) requires a higher level of knowledge, experience, skills, and physical abilities than that required to drive a non-commercial vehicle.” A driver has to pass both skills and knowledge testing in order to obtain a CDL license. There are many benefits to attending a truck driving school (academy) to learn to drive a CMV.
A driving school can prepare you for all aspects of CDL license testing, including:
- vehicle inspection
- basic controls exam
- road test
A fully licensed driver may be required to obtain additional training permits, known as endorsements, to haul specific materials. Academy training specialists at a truck driving school, can teach you about the complex rules and current regulations of the CMV industry.
A truck driving school has the resources and knowledge to help you get what you need to obtain and to keep your CDL; things such as:
- Medical requirements
- Endorsements
- Legally required paperwork
- Electronic logging devices
