There are literally hundreds of truck driving schools across the country, each with different programs. As with any business, there are good ones and
there are bad ones. But you have to know what to look for in a trucking
school. There are essentially three different types of truck driver training programs. The first is a private school, the second is a public institution and the third is a training program run by a motor carrier. |

Knowledge & Skills Tests: States develop their own tests which must be at least as stringent as the Federal standards. Model driver and examiner manuals and tests have been prepared and distributed to the States to use, if they wish. The general knowledge test must contain at least 30 questions. To pass the knowledge tests (general and endorsement), applicants must correctly answer at least 80 percent of the questions. To pass the skills test, applicants must successfully perform all the required skills (listed in 49 CFR 383.113). The skills test must be taken in a vehicle representative of the type of vehicle that the applicant operates or expects to operate. |
