Hi! How many hours does the FMCSA require when going to school to get a certificate? I see most schools are 160 hours now, or 4 weeks? I just went to a REALLY crappy school 80 hours $3500 which I never received AND I never had ANY CLASSROOM TIME in hours of service, log book and all that FMCSA training.
Hours of required school training?

FMCSA doesn't even require a school. Trucking companies set their own standards on length of school.

Where is the OP located, Plenty of companies out there who will be happy to give you great training to get your CDL-A, I am currently in school in Tennessee with Titan Transfer and am really happy.

I've never had one ounce of "Official" training... I learned to drive on the farm as a kid... Then much later in life I went and studied the book, took a drive test and got my CDL... That was nearly 6 years ago.
aussiejosh, Rubber duck kw and austinmike Thank this. -
The school isnt there to teach anybody anything aboot HOS or logs - its sole purpose is to teach you enough to be able to wobble a truck around the block well enough to get your license - thats it.
