Truck driving is the backbone of our economy, moving almost everything we use, from food to clothes, across the country. It’s an essential job requiring high skill and responsibility. To drive the largest trucks, like the semi-trucks you see on highways, or special buses and cargo vehicles, you need a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). This isn’t a regular driver’s license; it’s a special certification proving you have the advanced training and knowledge to operate these powerful vehicles safely and legally. You can earn this vital CDL right here at Jackson College.
At Jackson College, we offer a wide range of degrees and certificates designed to help you achieve your educational and career goals. The following options are available within this program.
CDL 100 is an in-person course that provides experiential, hands-on training in the safety and operation of Class A semi-tractors and trailers. Students will earn CDL (Commercial Driver’s License) certification at the completion of the course.
Ready to hit the road and launch a rewarding career? Our comprehensive Truck Driver Training program prepares you for success in the in-demand trucking industry. You’ll gain essential skills and knowledge through a blend of classroom instruction and extensive behind-the-wheel practice, covering everything from federal regulations and vehicle maintenance to advanced driving maneuvers. Our goal is to equip you to confidently pass your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) exam and start a fulfilling career as a professional truck driver.
A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) offers a very promising and secure career. There’s a constant, high demand for truck drivers across the U.S. due to the growing e-commerce market and many current drivers retiring. This means you’ll have excellent job security and great earning potential. With a CDL, you can expect good pay that increases with experience or specialized driving roles, and you’ll find diverse opportunities from local routes to construction or bus driving, ensuring a stable and essential career.
