Commercial Drivers License (CDL)
40 hours

This class contains training to enable students to successfully complete the written examination required for the CDL training session. This class does NOT teach anyone how to drive. Each student will be required to pay for any testing fees applicable at the end of class. A Washington State official will be at the training facility to administer the written test. Students should already have the knowledge and skills on how to operate a commercial vehicle. In addition, students should have employment that dictates that each student has a CDL Drivers License and are referred by the local union. Each student must provide and bring to the class:

  • 5-year “Abstract of Violation” (Department of Licensing office / $4.50 fee required)
  • Department of Transportation physical examination (any physician can provide this AND it MUST be on a DOT medical form)
  • CDL manual (can be picked up at the Department of Licensing)
  • Current CDL learner's permit (To obtain a CDL learner's permit, each student must take a copy of the DOT physical, their social security card, and pay a $7.00 fee to the Department of Licensing.)
