Commercial truck drivers are professionals who pick up and deliver everything we produce, consume or need in our daily lives. Without the trucking industry, the world’s economy would come to a standstill. Central Pennsylvania is a transportation hub in the U.S., making it a great place to work in this industry.

There is currently a driver shortage, creating local, regional, over-the-road and construction job opportunities for Class A and Class B truck drivers. HACC’s CDL courses prepare students for the safe operation of commercial motor vehicles including Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) and entry into commercial driving. 

HACC's Transportation and Logistics Program is a licensed Third-Party Testing Site for Class A, B (including passenger and school buses) for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Testing is available by appointment only. Costs include: $300/test utilizing HACC's equipment, and $250/test utilizing your equipment. All tests must be scheduled in advance and prepaid. There are no refunds. Costs are subject to change.

Class A drivers work as local, regional or over-the-road truck drivers.

Meet Kyle: CDL Program Graduate

Kyle had no experience in the trucking industry before enrolling in courses at HACC, although he said a few of his friends are truckers. After completing the program, Kyle got a job as an over the road (OTR) driver and over three years logged more than 420,000 miles.

Kyle said the following about his HACC experience: “The course at HACC is second to none. From the first day to the last test I always felt the staff wanted me to succeed. I not only came out of the course with all my CDL and endorsements, but I gained a wealth of information and knowledge through the ‘driving’ part of the program. I credit my training and experiences at HACC for giving me confidence to be the driver that I am. HACC will help you find that first driving job and will not leave you at the gate. I continue to be in touch with my HACC instructor whenever the need arises.”
