  • Our training course includes a self-study portion consisting of: Laws and Rules of the road, what is required to be a driver

  • You must successfully pass the written exam at DPS office to receive a commercial driving permit. 

  • And that will allow you to practice drive large commercial trucks. Following behind-the-wheel training and passing a driving test you will be able to receive your CDL license.

  • Remember, that  an accredited school is going to cost more than simply  a Training Facility. In most cases, you can expect to spend anywhere from $3,000 all the way up to $10,000 in order to obtain your CDL  training and license.

​

The requirements for training are set and mandated by each state.

Requirements

1

Before you attend school or earn your CDL, you'll need to meet several basic physical and legal qualifications.

2

You'll need to have a clean driving record. Schools and employers may overlook minor traffic violations, like parking tickets, but you probably won't qualify if you've been busted for reckless driving or if you've been convicted for DUI. 

3

Many schools also want you to have a diploma or GED before applying, and some truck driving companies won't hire you without one.

4

Knowledge tests are only available in English and Spanish. Applicants must be able to understand road signs written in English to pass the test(s). 

5

In most states, you must be at least 21 years old. You must also be legally eligible to work within the country and within the state.

6

The CDL skills test is for testing you on basic vehicle control, driving and vehicle handling on the road and vehicle inspections. Once you obtain your TEXAS CDL License, it is good anywhere in the United States.

7

If you obtain your TEXAS CDL, be careful when driving, especially if you've taken medication or have been drinking alcoholic beverages. If you are busted with DUI, then you run the risk of losing your TEXAS CDL License. 

8

  • You cannot apply for another CDL license in another state after having your TEXAS CDL License revoked or suspended.  

 CERTIFICATION and RECORD CHECK

  • When an individual applies for a CDL, or attempts to renew or update his or her CDL, the State must perform a check of its own database, the C D L Information System (CDLIS), and the National Driver Register (NDR), to ensure the driver is not disqualified and does not possess a license from more than one jurisdiction. 

  • If the driver possesses a license from another jurisdiction, the State must require the driver applicant to surrender his/her driver's license issued by that State before issuing a new license. 

  • The State must request the complete driving record of the applicant from all jurisdictions where the driver was previously licensed in the past 10 years. If a State determines, in its check of record prior to issuing a CDL, or at any time after the CDL is issued, that the applicant has falsified information, the State shall at a minimum suspend, cancel, or revoke the person’s CDL or his/her pending application, or disqualify the person from operating a CMVs for a period of at least 60 consecutive days.
