Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this program for?
This program is designed for existing CDL A license holders looking to remove the manual restriction from their license or as a refresher prior to taking on a new job that requires CDL A manual knowledge and skills.
Do I need to get a CDL permit again?
Yes, the State and Federal government require existing CDL A license holders who are looking to upgrade their license and remove the manual restriction to hold a CDL permit. You do not need a permit prior to enrolling. The course will provide study materials and assistance to help you earn your CDL permit. Existing CDL A holders without a manual restriction who only need a refresher course do not need to receive a new CDL permit.
What happens when I'm done with the class?
Once you have completed your behind-the-wheel training, you will be eligible to take your CDL A driving exam in a manual truck. Upon passing the skills exam, you will be able to have the manual restriction removed from your CDL A license. Zeta Driving School is a third party testing site and you will be able to complete your CDL skills exam at our facility.
Do I need to go to school or can I learn this on my own?
The Department of Transportation requires that all students must completed an approved program in order to receive their CDL license and endorsements. Our courses are designed to help you learn the material quickly and effectively. It is much easier and faster to go through school than to try to learn it on your own!
