Truck driving schools in Tennessee are located throughout the state with hotspots in Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville and smaller cities, such as Crump and Dandridge. Tennessee truck driving schools provide you with the training needed to earn your commercial driver's license (CDL). To qualify for a CDL license in Tennessee, you must be at least 18 years old (21 years old for interstate trucking) and meet physical qualification standards. CDL applicants must then pass a written exam and a skills test, which includes a pre-trip vehicle inspection, a basic controls test, and an on-road driving test. Additional qualifications may be needed depending on the type of vehicle you wish to drive and/or the type of material to be transported. For example, additional knowledge exams are needed to drive a truck with a tanker, air brakes or double/triple trailers or to transport passengers or hazardous materials. A truck driving school in Tennessee will prepare you to pass these examinations.
