Why Get Your CDL Through Missoula College?

The CDL Montana program at Missoula College aims to provide its students with a real-world learning environment, where they can develop safe, proper driving skills in real traffic and roadway scenarios. Students learn first-hand what to expect when maneuvering a tractor-trailer on the road and in the city, and how to respond in (sometimes) unexpected or undesirable situations. The program is challenging, but we’ve designed the courses to make training accessible for all our students.
