For Class B, passenger, or school bus training, students may be required to provide access to an appropriate vehicle depending on the type of training requested.

Students are strongly encouraged to obtain their CDL permit before beginning behind-the-wheel training. Having a permit allows students to maximize driving time and progress more efficiently through the program.

If you need assistance preparing for the permit test, we can help guide you in the right direction.

Training length varies depending on:

• Experience level

• Student availability

• Confidence behind the wheel

• Ability to learn maneuvers and safety procedures

While many students may complete training within several weeks, every student learns differently and progress is based on individual performance and readiness.

We strongly encourage students to pursue a Class A CDL whenever possible because it provides greater flexibility and opens the door to more career opportunities within the transportation industry.

Our philosophy is simple — if you are going to invest your time and money into commercial driving, you might as well aim for the license that provides the greatest long-term benefit.

Whenever possible, we aim to provide personalized and hands-on instruction. We believe smaller training environments help students feel more comfortable, improve learning efficiency, and allow for more focused coaching behind the wheel.

Training may include:

• Pre-trip inspections

• Air brake procedures

• Backing maneuvers

• Defensive driving

• Coupling and uncoupling

• Road driving

• Safety procedures

• Vehicle familiarization

• CDL rules and regulations

• Test preparation

Our goal is to prepare students not only for the CDL exam, but also for real-world commercial driving situations.

Students should bring:

• Valid driver’s license

• CDL permit (if applicable)

• Appropriate clothing and footwear

• Water and weather-appropriate gear

• Positive attitude and willingness to learn

Additional requirements may be discussed prior to training.

No training program can legally guarantee a passing score. However, we are committed to providing professional instruction, guidance, and hands-on experience to help students feel fully prepared and confident for testing.

Student success ultimately depends on individual effort, practice, and readiness.

Absolutely. Safety is the foundation of everything we do. We emphasize defensive driving, proper inspection procedures, professionalism, and responsible decision-making throughout every stage of training.

Our goal is to help create safe, knowledgeable, and confident commercial drivers for Hawaiʻi’s roads.
