Truck Driving Schools in Georgia
You must comply with several state and federal requirements to get a commercial truck driver’s license or CDL in Georgia. These requirements are to protect the drivers on the road as well as to ensure national security. As a driver you are expected to demonstrate skills and know-how driving a truck in both local and interstate settings.
In most states, applicants for a CDL are expected to be at least 18 years of age if they plan to drive within the state or 21, if interstate. The next requirement that an applicant must meet is to undergo and pass the physical and visual exams. All applicants are required to pass a DOT medical certificate before they can be given a driver’s permit.
Applicants are required to take and pass a written examination before they can be given a driver’s permit. After receiving a permit, they will be allowed to practice actual driving with a licensed individual. To help them pass the exams, applicants should read the Georgia CDL Manual, which is available in any Georgia DMV office. To further ensure that an applicant passes, he or she should enroll in an accredited commercial truck driving school or program. Once an applicant is confident about his/her skills, the applicant can try to take the road tests before or at the expiration of his/her driver’s permit.
