Truck driving schools in Missouri are found across the state, with hotspots around Kansas City, St. Louis, and Springfield. Southern Missouri Truck Driving School, Clement Truck Driving Academy, and Ozark CDL are just a few of the trucking schools available in the area. Missouri truck driving schools offer the necessary education and training needed to gain your CDL license. To acquire a CDL license in Missouri, you must be at least 18 years old (21 for interstate truck drivers) and pass one or more written knowledge exams, depending on the class of license and specific endorsements you want to earn. After passing the knowledge test(s), CDL applicants must then take the three-part skills test, which includes a pre-trip vehicle inspection, a basic vehicle control test, and on-road driving exam. In addition, to transport hazardous materials (Hazmat), a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) background check is also required. A truck driving school in Missouri will prepare you to pass these examinations. Graduates of truck driving programs may go on to find employment with one of the state's big trucking companies, such as Hogan, Affton Trucking, or Prime Inc.
