CDL Training Near Me in Arkansas

Truck driving schools in Arkansas are located throughout the state, including Little Rock, Newport, Marked Tree, and other cities. Arkansas truck driving schools offer the training you need to obtain your commercial driver's license (CDL), which is required to be able to drive a Class A, B or C commercial vehicle and gain employment with big trucking companies in the state such as Rich Logistics, Diamond State Trucking, and more. CDL license candidates must be at least 18 years old (21 years old for interstate truck driving), meet physical qualification standards and pass a vision test.

Additional knowledge and skills tests may be required depending on the class of license and endorsements you need--for example, to transport hazardous materials.
