There is a real learning curve to commercial trucks. Early on, the backing, the traffic, and the sheer size can feel overwhelming. Coastal Truck Driving School and our Kenner-area CDL training is a 160-hour Class A course that moves students from the fundamentals to road-ready within four weeks. Safety, regulations, and inspection routines fill the 40 classroom hours, while 120 hours go to building driving skills. Students leave with confidence in place of doubt and a direct route toward driving for a living.

Students should always know where they stand and what comes next. Our truck driving course in Kenner uses a schedule that is easy to read, teaching without fluff, and a structure lined up with Louisiana CDL standards from the start.

How Our CDL Training Works
Across four weeks, our CDL training in Kenner delivers 160 hours that begin in the classroom and end with real driving ability. Classroom hours total 40 and range from vehicle control and visual search methods to drug and alcohol policy, human trafficking awareness, and basic business practice. The remaining 120 hours are hands-on, including 42 hours of range drills such as offset backing, 90-degree docking, coupling, brake checks, and sliding tandems. Skills layer one onto the next until students finish ready for the job.
