What it Takes to become a Truck Driver in Memphis
The first step in becoming a truck driver in Memphis is attending a Tennessee truck driving program. Enrolling in a truck driving program will give you a comprehensive education in all things related to driving a commercial truck.
In addition to classroom training, you will receive one-on-one training with an instructor and spend time behind the wheel. Training last between six to eight weeks and prepares you for your CDL (commercial driver’s license). Obtaining a CDL is done through the Department of Driver Services and requires that you pass a written exam and earn a learner’s permit.
The last step is to successfully pass a road teat. Once you pass both exams, you get your CDL and can start working.
