Truck Driving Training and Requirements in Colorado

To get the experience you need to become a truck driver, you can attend one of many truck driving schools located throughout Colorado. These programs tend to be divided up into two parts. The first part is a classroom portion. This prepares you to pass the written test and get your temporary learner’s permit. Once you have your learner’s permit, you can return to your school to get plenty of hours behind the wheel of a tractor-trailer.

Upon completing your truck driving course, you can move to the next step of licensure. You must go to the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles and schedule a driving test. Once you pass the driving test, you receive a commercial driver’s license that is good for four years.In an industry that requires so much independence and self-motivation, connection with others is even more important. Networking with other trucking professionals in Colorado can help you advocate for yourself, learn about legislative changes that affect your career, and learn about new job openings in your area.
