DO I HAVE TO TAKE AN 4 WEEK, 80 HOUR COURSE?

FMASA laws changed Feb 7th 2022, requiring entry level driver training (ELDT) for new licenses and certain endorsements. The law does not mandate the number of hours required. It mandates that students must pass the program with a minimum score of 80% for both the theory and behind-the-wheel portions. Our course is 2 days of training and a 3rd day for the exam.

WHAT IS NEEDED TO TAKE GOLDLINE CDL COURSE?

You need your permit before attending training. You must be able to back a trailer for a Class A and drive a manual transmission for an unrestricted license.

Does Goldline CDL offer THeory Training?

Yes. Goldline provides online theory training for Class A, Class B, School Bus, Passenger and Hazmat. The student completes it on their own time and pace.

What if I can't back up a trailer?

It takes a lot of time to master backing skills, unfortunately more than most can learn in a few days. If you don't have these skills and are unable to back up a trailer, you can still get a Class B license.

What if I can't drive a manual transmission?

We encourage all our students to get the highest license they can. We have a 6-speed synchronized manual transmission with air brakes and 40' low-bed trailer for an unrestricted Class A license. Not everyone can manage a manual transmission so we also have an automatic in our fleet. Let us know at registration which transmission you will be driving with us.

what is a restricted cdl license?

When you test for a Class A in a manual truck you get an unrestricted license. However, if you drive an automatic transmission for your exam, you would be restricted from driving a manual transmission. Similarly, if you get a Class B license you would be restricted from towing a trailer.

Can you help remove automatic restrictions?

Absolutely. First, get a permit and then get an appointment for the drive-only portion of the exam.

What happens if i don't get 80% pass rate?

Per FMCSA regulations, you can't progress to the DOT exam without passing the program at 80% or more. Unfortunately, some skills take a long time to master and not everyone has the ability to get their CDL. If possible we will help you get a restricted license instead.

Do you offer refunds?

The applicant may withdraw from the program with written notification to [email protected] before the initial in-person training session. The registration fee includes a $300 deposit which is non-refundable. There is no refund once checked into and attending behind-the-wheel training sessions.

If the student is unable to pass an portion of the program with minimum grade of 80%, or if the student is dismissed from the program or if the student decides to quit during the program, there is no refund.

I am out of state (not iowa) can you help me?

Absolutely. We provide everything from online theory program through the vehicle for the exam in Iowa and Wisconsin. Wisconsin Class B students will need to provide their own vehicle for the exam. For other states, we can provide access to the online theory and perform behind-the-wheel training in Manchester. For the exam, you will need to provide your own vehicle in your own state.

I have my theory done, can i TAKE btw with you?

We would like to be your source for both the theory and BTW training. Our theory training is $25.00 for each class or endorsement. If you've taken it somewhere else already you can still complete the behind-the-wheel training with Goldline CDL.
