In partnership with TransTech, Inc., Piedmont Community College offers Truck Driver Training – CDL Class A.

PCC’s truck driver training program consists of extensive classroom, range, and behind-the-wheel instruction to prepare students for the CDL Class A license skills examination. The exam is provided and administered at the completion of the course.
