CDL Training Near Me in Arizona

To become a truck driver in Arizona, you must first pursue your commercial driver's license (CDL), and a truck driving school in Arizona is a great place to start. To earn a CDL license, all candidates must be at least 18 years old (21 years old for interstate hauling) and pass a general knowledge exam. Depending on the class of license and endorsements you need, other knowledge and skills tests may be required--for example, to drive a combination vehicle, a school bus, a tanker truck, a truck with air brakes or to transport passengers. CDL license candidates must then pass a skills test, which includes a pre-trip vehicle inspection, a basic vehicle control skills test, and an on-road driving exam. A truck driving school in Arizona will prepare you to pass these examinations. Upon earning a CDL, students have the opportunity to find employment with one of the state's major carriers, such as Northland Trucking, Duncan and Son Lines, and many others.
