Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Program

In partnership with TransTech, PCC now offers a comprehensive Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) training program. A class A license is considered the “universal” CDL, providing the operator the ability to drive multiple types of commercial trucks and tractor trailers. A class B license allows the operator to drive many of the same vehicles, but is more limiting than a class A CDL.

The class A CDL program totals 176 hours, taught over five weeks. The first 56 hours of the class are taught online asynchronously, while the last three weeks include day and night driving sessions.

The class B CDL program totals 90 hours, taught over three weeks. The first 30 hours of the class are taught online asynchronously, while 60 hours includes day and night driving sessions.

Cost

The cost of the class A program, including all materials and instruction, is $3,700.00. The cost of the class B program, including all materials and instruction, is $2,700.00. There is an additional $125 fee for drug screening, physical, and background check. To start the program, students must pass all aspects of the pre-screening process. Students will pay $160 directly to the NC DMV for their permit and license.

Tuition assistance may be available to those students who qualify.

Requirements

Students must be at least 18 years of age, have a valid Social Security Card, possess a valid driver’s license, and have an acceptable driving record.
