Students in the program spend the first 40 hours in the classroom preparing for the Commercial Learner’s Permit Exam. After earning a permit, students spend the next four weeks focusing on vehicle inspection, preventative maintenance, and hands-on defensive driving. They will have range practice, behind-the-wheel driving time, and one trip to Newport to test in the same vehicle used during the training program.
Students are required to demonstrate proficiency in shifting, backing up, and city and highway driving as required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules and regulations.
New classes form every 5 weeks. Call to register!

Student Testimonials
Kenny, the CDL instructor, is a great and patient person. He is very knowledgeable and does a great job in a short time frame.
My overall experience with the Pocahontas BRTC CDL Program was exceptional. The hours were flexible and they have a great instructor. I’ll recommend this program and location to anyone who wants to get a Class A License.
