CDL Training Near Me in Maryland

Truck driving schools in Maryland concentrate around the hubs of Baltimore and Washington, DC as well as in Silver Spring and Jessup, and include Drive-Rite Trucking School and North American Trade Schools, amongst others. Maryland truck driving schools will help you learn the skills necessary to earn a CDL. To obtain your CDL, you must be at least 18 years old (21 years old to haul across state lines), have a valid driver's license and pass a medical and vision examination. CDL applicants must then pass a written exam and a skills test, which includes a pre-trip vehicle inspection, a basic control test, and an on-road driving test. Depending on the class of license and endorsements you need, other knowledge and skills tests may be required--for example, to drive a combination vehicle, a school bus, a tanker truck, a truck with air brakes or to transport passengers. A truck driving school in Maryland will prepare you to pass these examinations, and hopefully go on to employment with a trucking company in the state, such as Marino Transportation or Wilson Trucking Corporation.
