How CDL Training Works in California
Getting a commercial driver's license in California follows the same federal path as the rest of the country. Start by passing the written knowledge tests at your local California DMV to receive a commercial learner's permit (CLP). With your permit in hand, enroll with one of the 502 FMCSA-registered providers listed below to complete Entry-Level Driver Training — classroom theory plus behind-the-wheel range and road hours. Your provider certifies your completion to FMCSA, and then you schedule and pass the California CDL skills test to earn your license.

Truck Driving Schools in Other States
Frequently Asked Questions
How many truck driving schools are in California?
There are 502 FMCSA-registered CDL training providers in California listed on the Training Provider Registry. This directory organizes them by city so you can find the school closest to you and see which CDL classes and endorsements each one offers.
Do California truck driving schools have to be FMCSA-registered?
Yes. To earn a first Class A or Class B CDL in California — or a first Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus endorsement — you must complete Entry-Level Driver Training with a provider on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry before the California DMV will let you take the CDL skills test. Every school listed here is on that registry.
How do I get a CDL in California?
First obtain a commercial learner's permit (CLP) from the California DMV by passing the knowledge tests. Then complete ELDT theory and behind-the-wheel training with a registered provider from this list. After your provider certifies your training to FMCSA, schedule and pass the California CDL skills test (pre-trip inspection, basic control, and road test) to receive your license.
What CDL classes can I train for in California?
California providers in this directory train for Class A and Class B CDLs, and many also cover Hazmat, Passenger, and School Bus endorsements. Each school card below shows exactly which classes and endorsements that provider offers.
