Documentation:

Before your first day, ensure you have all the necessary documentation in order. This will help you navigate through any administrative requirements smoothly. Make sure to bring:

• Valid driver’s license
• Social Security card
• Birth certificate or passport

Clothing:

Brining a mix of comfortable and practical clothing that will allow you to focus on your training without distractions. Keep in mind that the majority of your CDL training will involve hands-on driving practice outdoors. We recommend wearing the following:

• Weather-appropriate clothing: Layered clothing for varying weather conditions, including rain gear and warm coats in winter.
• Closed-toe, non-slip shoes: Sturdy footwear with good traction for safety during driving practice. No flip flops or sandals. Tennis shoes are fine.
• Work gloves: Protect your hands during hands-on activities such as coupling and uncoupling trailers.
• Comfortable clothing: Opt for clothes that allow you to move freely and comfortably, such as jeans or work pants and t-shirts.

Other Useful Items:

In addition to documentation and clothing, there are several other items that can enhance your CDL training experience:

• Notepad and pens: Take notes during classroom sessions and jot down important information.
• Calculator: The calculator on your phone will work fine.
• Water bottle and snacks: Stay hydrated and energized throughout the training day.
• Sunglasses and sunscreen: Protect yourself from the sun during outdoor training sessions.
• Backpack or tote bag: Carry your essentials conveniently during training days.
