CDL Truck Driving

The Truck Driver Training program trains students to drive a Class-A combination vehicle and prepares students for their pre-trip inspection, off road skills test and the driving test, which are all components of the NCDMV commercial driver’s license (CDL) exam.

This program is an online hybrid program, with weekly, required online assignments apart from weekly on-campus driving on the weekends. It will include an emphasis on log truck driving, opening up opportunities with local logging companies. This program is made possible through partnerships with Golden Leaf Foundation, NCDOT, Weyerhaeuser, Alligood’s Garage and locally owned insurance groups.

Students must have a valid NCDMV Class-A permit, a valid DOT medical card and a negative DOT drug screen within 30 days of test date. The total $231.25 fee for this course includes the required textbook. Grants and scholarships are available through NCWorks (formerly known as Job Link), State Employees Credit Union, BCCC Foundation and Golden Leaf. Classes start on January 14.
