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 B and Class A truck drivers. HACC’s CDL Theory and Behind-the-Wheel courses prepare students for their CDL test and entry into commercial driving.
HACC's Transportation and Logistics Program is a licensed Third Party Testing Site for Class A, B, and C (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.
*Please note that due to the current COVID-19 health crisis, all individuals wishing to test in their own equipment must bring cleaning supplies and perform cleaning of the interior of their vehicle, under the inspection of the test administrator, prior to performing the CDL test.

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.”
