Are you ready to earn your CDL Class A license? GCC CDL Training will give you all the knowledge and practice you need our 5 week course includes online instruction and in-depth behind the wheel training. Our CDL Class A certification course will prepare you to drive a "Class A" truck in any US state.
A Class A CDL is the most common commercial license and is appropriate for operating any number of vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 or more pounds. The GVWR, also known as the gross vehicle mass, is indicated by the manufacturer as the maximum amount of weight a vehicle is allowed to safely carry.
Depending on your endorsements, you might also be able to operate certain Class B and Class C vehicles with a Class A CDL. Examples of vehicles you can operate with a Class A license include livestock carriers, tractor-trailers and passenger vans. If you are seeking jobs as a professional over-the-road truck driver, a Class A CDL is right for you.
