About the Truck Driving CDL Program

LCCC works with local industry leaders to identify transportation needs for the state of Wyoming.  This allows the college to tailor the training to the local community. 

The program consists of online theory training and behind the wheel (BTW) hands-on training.  The online portion is self paced, but must be completed within 21 days.  BTW training, which includes range, driving, backing and port of entry site visit, varies in duration by CDL type and experience.  A typical class A student can expect to complete their hands-on training in four weeks.
