Course Description
This is your pathway to a great career in transportation as a CDL driver (Class A).
There are more great careers in transportation as a CDL driver than there are trained people to fill them. In response to this demand, Georgia Piedmont Technical College has partnered with DeKalb, Newton, and Rockdale transportation companies to develop the 120-hour TRANSPORTATION READY program to prepare you for a career in transportation as a CDL driver. Upon successful completion participants will be eligible to sit for the CDL License exam and gain skill sets needed to lead to employment as a Class A CDL driver:
Prerequisites
You must obtain your Class A permit before the first day of class. You must also take and pass a DOT drug screen and obtain a DOT Physical before the first day of class.Additional Information
- In order to apply for admission to the CTD program, applicants must be at least 18 years of age with a Class C license. Persons 18 to 21 may obtain a Commercial Driver’s License but will be restricted to drive in Georgia only.
- The Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates commercial driver licensing and requires a Department of Transportation (DOT) physical and drug test in addition to a Motor Vehicle Report prior to the issuance of a Georgia Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) or Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Furthermore, random drug testing is required during the course of the Commercial Truck Driving program (FMCSA Regulation 382.305 and 391, subpart E).
