Truck Driving Schools in Tennessee
A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is the designated license class needed to work as a truck driver in Tennessee . Obtaining a Class A CDL allows one to drive a combination of vehicles with a GCWR of 26,001 pounds or more. CDL applicants must comply with several state and federal requirements to work as a commercial truck driver.
Once an applicant reaches the minimum age requirement, obtains a DOT medical certificate, and submit his application along with other supplemental documents, he can then take the written exams. Applicants who wish to obtain a Class A CDL must take the General Knowledge Test, Air Brakes Test, and Combination Vehicle Exams.
After passing the written exam, the next step is to take the skills test. CDL applicants will need to pass a series of skills tests in order to demonstrate their basic knowledge and safe operation of the vehicle they wish to drive on the state roadways. The skills test is divided into a pre-trip inspection, basic vehicle control, and actual on-road driving. Applicants must provide their own vehicle and be accompanied by a licensed driver when they go to the testing site. Applicants must pass all parts of the skills test in order to receive their CDL.
