What is CDL Training?

A Commercial Driver's License (CDL) is a state-issued credential required to operate large commercial vehicles — including semi-trucks, tankers, and specialized freight haulers. CDL training covers the knowledge and hands-on driving skills you need to pass the Iowa DOT CDL exam and meet federal Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) requirements. 

Iowa Valley BCS offers Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) for Class A CDL — tractor-trailers, semi-trucks, combination vehicles.
