Your Road to Success...Let us Lead the Way

A prospective student must provide the following one week prior to the start of class:

  • Be 18 years of age
  • Have a valid Virginia Driver's license
  • Provide the school with a copy of his/her driving record
  • Pass a D.O.T Physical exam
  • Pass a drug test and permit to being randomly tested for drugs and alcohol during the program
  • Must have CDL-A learner's permit

Trucking companies are interested only in drivers with good driving records. DUI's, reckless driving, and too many speeding tickets are unacceptable. SVCC will not require one, but the motor carrier will run a criminal background check on all prospective employees. Conviction of theft or use of drugs will probably prevent your being hired by a trucking company. We will try to answer any questions you might have concerning these matters
