Truck Driving Schools in South Carolina

The State of South Carolina requires its truck drivers to possess a Commercial Driver’s License or CDL. Before you can apply for a trucking license, you must be at least 18 years old to drive intrastate. If you wish to drive to another state, then you must be at least 21 years old. You will also need to pass a vision test and physical exam to get a medical certificate from a DOT certified physician. Aside from these, CDL applicants must also provide supporting documents such as a birth certificate, driver’s license or passport.

Once you file your application, you can then take the written General Knowledge test. Additional tests will be given for each endorsement you wish to be applied to your CDL. You can ensure that you pass your written exam by reading the South Carolina CDL Manual. If you pass the written exams, you’ll be given a temporary license. Use this license to gain practical experience in driving a truck while being supervised by a licensed driver. If you feel that you are ready for the skills test, go to your nearest DMV office and schedule for an exam. The skills test is divided into three parts: pre-trip inspection, basic skills exam, and actual on-road testing. You’ll need to pass all three to receive your license to be eligible to work as a truck driver in South Carolina.
