Class B Commercial Drivers License (CDL-B)

CDL-B is a high-demand, high-wage career. Other CDL training programs work with only a few carriers or require you to train for their company, limited your job options. Ivy Tech and its licensed teaching partners have established a premier network of hiring companies, including national carriers, regional trucking companies, and local trucking jobs, so you will have a large selection of potential employers.

To register for a class, the following items will be required:

• Must be 18 years old

• Possess a valid Indiana driver's license for at least one year

• Have an acceptable driving record

• Pass a Department of Transportation (DOT) physical and drug screen, obtain a DOT Medical Certification "medical card," and submit all five pages- depending on the class you take, these steps maybe completed during the course

• English proficiency demonstrated through the TOEFL exam if applicable

• Acceptable criminal background check

  Depending on the class you take, you may train and sit for the permit during your first week of class. Obtain a Class B CDL permit from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) (general knowledge and airbrake) and provide a front and back copy of the permit. Note: a minimum of 21 years of age or older is required to drive across state lines. Applicants under 21 must drive in their state of domicile (residence) only.
