CDL Refresher

Commercial Motor Vehicle Refresher

Driving a commercial truck is hectic work, and as a CDL holder, you already know that. If you don't use your CDL for a period, it’s easy to forget skills and laws that dictate your time on the road. Unfortunately, if drivers go too long without driving a truck, companies may hesitate to hire you – but a CDL refresher course is the solution.

Odessa College Truck Driving Academy offers a 4-day (up to 20-hours) CDL program designed for individuals that hold a current Class A, CDL license and want to refresh their driving and backing skills and go back to work.

Requirements:

Must hold a current Class A, CDL license.
