Class A CDL Basics
This course is designed to meet all Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) requirements established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WA DOT). Training includes behind-the-wheel, range, and theory instruction for individuals pursuing a Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL). In addition to meeting federal and state standards, the program offers an extra week of hands-on training to strengthen student's skills and confidence further. This extended training period is highly recommended for individuals new to the trucking industry, as it enables greater practical application of newly acquired skills and knowledge. The added time ensures students achieve a higher level of proficiency and readiness to meet the rigorous demands of ELDT requirements and succeed in real-world driving environments.
