fREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
-
How long is the program?Our program is 4 weeks long. We run a full time schedule, from Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. Your commitment is essential, as is our commitment to you!
-
I'm 18 years old, can I get my CDL?Yes. However, CDL holders under the age of 21 are restricted from driving outside of the state of their licensed domicile. Once you turn 21, you would have to update your CDL to remove the age restriction from your license.
-
Do I need a high school diploma or G.E.D. to get my CDL?We are an accredited institution through the Tennessee Higher Education Commission, therefore the prerequisite to have your high school diploma or G.E.D. is required.
-
What documentation will I need to bring?You will need your driver's license, a D.O.T. Certified Physical Examination and Medical Certification, your Social Security Card, Official State Issued Birth Certificate (Not the hospital issued certificate), two (2) proofs of domicile (Car Registration and Utility Bill in your name, authenticated by the utility company), and your high school diploma or G.E.D.
-
Can I have an out of state license?Unfortunately, no. All students coming through our school must possess a license in which the school is located. However, once you have obtained your CDL, it is transferable to any state!
-
Do you offer weekend programs?At this time, no. Our program is very stringent. It requires commitment and attendance, Monday through Friday, from 8am to 5pm. However, rumor has it, a weekend program may be in the works!
-
I already have a permit, do I have to go through your permitting class?Yes. But the class teaches so much more than just permitting! Everyone enrolled must complete all 4 weeks of training, regardless of permit status.
-
Can you get a CDL if you are a convicted felon?The short answer is YES. The answer to this question will largely depend on where you live. Many states allow felons to obtain their CDL permit. However, it will depend largely on what the felony you committed included. The answer of what felonies will qualify versus disqualify you from getting your CDL will also vary by state. In most cases, any felony involving trafficking, murder, or other capital crimes will prevent you from obtaining a CDL. The bigger question is, if you do have a felony, and you obtain your CDL, what companies will hire you?
