Yes. You will need to get your Class A or Class B certification along with an endorsment. The endorsment itself will not be enough. We have bundles that make it easy for you to get everything you need to drive the truck you want.
With a Class A ELDT and the added necessary endorsment you can most commercial vehicles including combination vehicles. With Class B endorsment, there are some restrictions. Class B ELDT plus the proper endorsment only allows you to drive any straight trucks such as a school bus, city bus, and dump truck.
Your completion results are immediately sent to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) Training Provider Registry (TPR).

Cian T.
This school has proven to be amazing! They got me a job where I was in a truck within a week of graduation. I ended up not liking the job 4 months later. I emailed the school to see if they could help me again. They provided me with the same support as if I was still a student. Got a new job the same day! These people care and they keep their promises! If you want to drive go to this school!!!
