Looking to start a career in one of the fastest growing occupations? Hawkeye's six-week accelerated Class A Commercial Driver's License training program is designed for adults who would like to train for a high-demand career in a short-term time frame. We train on 10 speeds and automatics. The program focuses on developing safe driving skills including backing, turning, and driving on rural and suburban roads. You will receive hands-on training using full-size semitrailers and virtual driving simulators. Upon completion, you will take your vehicle inspection, DOT skills, and driving tests at Hawkeye to obtain your Class A CDL. You receive individual training daily on your schedule, choose your times: morning 8:00am to 12:00pm, afternoon 1:00pm to 5:00pm or evening 5:00pm to 9:00pm Graduates can find employment in a variety of areas including, but not limited to, a truck driver, spotter, shag driver, and many more. Per FMCSA rules students are required to complete and pass Department of Transportation (DOT) long form physical and pre-employment drug screening before start of the class. Arrowhead Medical Center is Hawkeye's approved vendor for DOT pre-employment drug screening and may be used for DOT physical as well. Tuition pays for books and training and does not include a DOT drug test ($50-$100), DOT physical ($80-$150), and CDL permit ($12). For detailed instructions, call 319-296-4290.
