How it works 

You will start off filling out the online application at https://cypresstruck.com/Apply and approvals typically take about 1-3 days. If you are approved, you will need to get your Class A permit before attending our school. You can get your Class A Permit study material online or at your local DMV.  You must pass the 3 written tests to gain your permit:   General Knowledge, Air Brakes and Combination Vehicles.  You will then schedule a start date with your recruiter. Cypress Truck Lines will pay for your lodging for the length of the program and will provide transportation each day from the hotel to the school. The school portion of our program is 4 weeks, Monday – Friday and a total of 160 hrs. Our contract agreement is for 12 months.  At the end of the 4 weeks, you will test out and once you pass you will have Class A CDL. You will attend one week of paid orientation, 6 weeks on the road training and a final week evaluation at our terminal in Jacksonville FL. It is a 12-week process from the time you begin school to the time you are seated and begin your career.
