Class B CDL Training Programs in Ohio

Our complete Class B CDL training program consists of 130 hours of focused instruction. The lecture portion of the course is a short 5-day seminar, and then it's time to get behind the wheel! We begin every Monday for this three-week course, but also have weekend classes available for our students who have full-time work schedules.

This program is designed to prepare students for entry into the commercial driver field as qualified entry level truck/bus drivers. Working in the classroom, on a protected driving range, and on the road with an instructor, students will build the skills necessary to operate as successful commercial truck/bus drivers. Graduates will qualify for immediate employment as entry level truck/bus drivers for local or interstate (over the road) companies. Program graduates will need additional driving experience under the guidance and supervision of an experienced, professional driver before they will be able to drive alone safely over the road.
