Class B CDL Training
Earn your Class B CDL in Albany, Oregon, with small classes and plenty of hands-on time behind the wheel. It's the license for dump trucks, box and delivery trucks, and other heavy straight trucks.
CLASS B CDL PROGRAM
What You Can Drive With a Class B CDL
A Class B CDL covers heavy single vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more, and lets you tow a trailer of up to 10,000 pounds. It's the license behind many local and municipal driving jobs.
HOW TRAINING WORKS
Learn It, Then Drive It
Training is split between the classroom and the driver's seat, with small classes so you get plenty of time behind the wheel.
Classroom Instruction
Prepare for the written CDL tests, including general knowledge and air brakes, with instructors who've spent their careers driving.
Behind-the-Wheel Training
Practice on our property, local roads and highways to build the control and confidence you need on test day and on the job.
Skills Test Prep
Get ready for each part of the CDL skills test: the pre-trip inspection, basic vehicle control and the road test.

NOT SURE WHICH LICENSE?
Class A or Class B?
If you want to drive tractor-trailers, you'll need a Class A CDL, which also covers most Class B vehicles. If you're aiming for local work in dump trucks, delivery trucks or buses, a Class B may be all you need. Give us a call and we'll guide you to the right license for your goals.
