Truck Driving

FARMINGTON — The San Juan College Commercial Drivers License truck driving program has begun offering regular training for Class B driving and has recently acquired a crew cab training truck. Class size is limited to three students at a time. Classes are held from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday, for two weeks. A new class will start every three weeks, except during the holiday season. Class B CDL is required to drive a large truck (more than 26,000 pounds) without a trailer, such as a dump truck or water truck. This class involves only driving instruction, so students will have to obtain a Class B CDL learner’s permit at the Motor Vehicle Division offices before signing up for the class. The $320 tuition for New Mexico residents includes the $150 driving test fee. Contact San Juan College School of Energy for registration info at 505-327-5705.
