This course is for students who intend to drive a commercial vehicle with at least one trailer (in combination) safely and effectively, preparing them for and allowing them to take the commercial driver’s license Knowledge Test, Vehicle Pre-inspection test, Basic Controls Skills Test and the On-road Drive Test. These four tests are the pre-requisites for the state to award a Class A Commercial Driver’s License meeting all Federal Department of Transportation and Washington Department of Licensing standards. This course also allows students the opportunity (optional) to prepare for the state tests that allow them to gain their:

Upon gaining their Class A Commercial Driver’s License, students will be able to obtain employment driving commercial vehicles that are rated Class A or Class B. If they are 20 years or younger they will be restricted to driving within the state of Washington.
This course is all resident learning. The curriculum for General Knowledge, Air Brakes and Combination module, the Entry Level Driver’s Training module as well as the Passenger, Doubles & Triples, Tanker, Hazardous Materials and School Bus Endorsements is all provided in a classroom format with certified instructors on iPads and in written materials that will be taught at the Driving Academy campus.
