Which CDL Do I Need?

Find the right CDL path for you

Six quick questions about the driving you want to do. We'll tell you which license and endorsements you need, how long training takes, what it costs, and the jobs it opens up.

What you want to drive
Step 1 of 7
🚚

What do you picture yourself driving?

Don't overthink it — pick whatever is closest to the truck you have in mind.

Local, or across the country?

This is the biggest factor in what your week actually looks like.

Would you haul hazardous materials?

Hazmat pays well and fewer drivers carry it. It does require a TSA background check and fingerprinting.

How hard do you want to chase the money?

The best-paying seats usually ask for more nights out, more credentials, or harder freight.

Where are you starting from?

This changes your timeline, not your license.

A few quick eligibility checks

Nothing here disqualifies you from training — it just changes which jobs you can take on day one.
