In addition to having some of the best CDL training and trainers in the state of Pennsylvania, CNS Driver Training Center can now offer affordable, flexible, and convenient Class A and Class B CDL Testing using our equipment for your convenience.
This is because Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) allows third party commercial driver’s license skills testing services so the state can obtain more qualified testers and expand geographic coverage within the Commonwealth.
CNS Driver Training Center is now a certified PennDOT 3rd party testing facility and can:
- examine the customer’s permit, registration and insurance to ensure that all legal requirements are met;
- complete necessary commonwealth forms for test scoring and record keeping; and
- administer the skills portion of the test in accordance with testing procedures provided by PennDOT
“Now that we are able to test, it will help those who are qualified and in need; get their CDL test quicker than before, supplying an industry in need of quality drivers.” says CEO John Irwin.
