CDL Truck Driving Training Near You In CT, MA & RI
A CDL, or Commercial Driver’s License, is required to drive a commercial motor vehicle, like a tractor-trailer or dump truck. Our entry-level truck driving training programs teach students how to safely operate commercial trucks and tractor-trailers. Students also get behind the wheel—first in the training field, and then out on the road—so they can get hands-on training to safely practice their skills with one of our experienced driving instructors. At New England Tractor Trailer Training School (NETTTS), we provide truck driving training programs in Bridgeport, CT, Somers, CT, Pawtucket, RI, and North Andover, MA.
