Truck Driving Schools in Arizona
Below are the available truck driving school programs you can find in the state of Arizona. To become licensed as a Class A driver you will need to pass the written CDL knowledge exam and driving skill test. Your training will teach you how to inspect your vehicle, couple tractor trailers, and drive a semi-truck. During your instruction you will practice driving in a variety of road conditions and practice specific skills. A few of these are braking, parking, turning, backing-up, and operating equipment.
To qualify to take the tests you will need to be 18 years of age and have a current driver’s license from Arizona. Applicants will need to pass a vision test, physical exam, and have a criminal background test conducted. There are five additional endorsements that are required for those who want to be able to do things such as haul hazardous materials, carry passengers, or operate a tanker, double, or triple trailer.
