Train for Truck Driving with us!
The CCC Truck Driving Training School program provides graduates with an excellent foundation for a truck driving career. Our students are tested thoroughly on the road and through written exams to ensure that they possess the necessary skills and knowledge to successfully and safely operate commercial vehicles.
The Commercial Truck Driving program provides training to meet the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) standards of specialized training in the areas of driver qualification, hours of service, driver wellness, and whistleblower protection for entry-level drivers who are subject to the requirements (49 CFR Part 380).
The Commercial Truck Driving program provides the training for the North Carolina State Commercial Truck Driving License examination for new drivers.
All training instruction is provided at school facilities and in school provided equipment. See Commercial Driver License Program Descriptions for more information. Free practice tests are available at https://www.cdlcareernow.com/cdl-practice-tests.php.
The college provides support and help in placing graduates into industry employment. In addition, CDL Job Now and CDL Jobs.com has many truck driving positions available for both recent graduates and experienced drivers.
