About the program

The Commercial Truck Drivers (CDL) program at Hopkinsville Community College is a 30 day course designed to prepare individuals with little or no commercial driving experience for an entry-level position in the trucking industry. Transitioning service members participating in this program will earn six credit hours of college credit and an academic credential, receive preparation to pass the CDL learners permit and road test for Class A licensure, and have the opportunity to be employed by local, regional, and national employers in the trucking industry. Classes are offered monthly with a minimum enrollment of 4 and a maximum enrollment of 6. Active duty, transitioning, and retired soldiers are welcome in all classes and will be given priority. The CDL program is approved by the State of Kentucky and by the Veterans Affairs state approving authority. Students complete one week of classroom instruction followed by three weeks of range and road training. Students who successfully complete the program will earn a college credential as well as a Class A CDL license. College staff will ensure that every student will have multiple opportunities to interview with transportation companies.
