CDL Program Details

Drivers should expect extra expenses for drug testing and obtaining a Commercial Learner’s permit and FED MED card prior to hands-on training. Our truck driving training program does not result in a technical diploma or certificate but meets all FMCSA and State of Wisconsin requirements. Drivers may use employer-provided or Blackhawk-provided passenger buses, tractors, and trailers. Contact Steve O’Dell at sodell3@woorat.net or (608) 757-7714 for information or a quote.
