If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it hard to get a CDL?”—you’re not alone. The idea of becoming a professional truck driver can seem overwhelming at first. But here’s the truth: getting your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) isn’t as hard as you might think—especially when you train with 160 Driving Academy.

Let’s Break It Down: What Does It Take to Get a CDL?

To earn a CDL, you’ll need to:

  • Meet basic eligibility (age, medical, residency)
  • Pass a written knowledge test
  • Complete behind-the-wheel training
  • Pass a skills/road test

While that checklist might look intimidating, 160 Driving Academy makes each step clear, achievable, and fully supported.
