Welcome Truck Driver Training Students!
Industry experts agree Bevill State's Truck Driver Training Program is one of the most comprehensive in the nation. Our teachers are not just former truck drivers. They are professionally accredited educators who have years of truck driving and teaching experience and are dedicated to helping you succeed. The truck driver training program provides basic entry-level driving skills relating to the safe operation techniques of commercial motor vehicles and other related regulations. Upon successful completion of the program, the student may be able to obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) necessary to operate a tractor-trailer unit. Students should also be conversant with the rules and regulations pertaining to the trucking industry once the program is completed. (Occupational Outlook Handbook)
