Prospective students must be at least
21 years of age and hold a valid
driver's license, with a driving record
free of violations which may
hinder or prevent employment
as a truck driver. Students should
obtain information from trucking
companies concerning individual requirements for
employment. In addition, each applicant should be of
good character, mentally alert, physically qualified, and
able to read and write the English language.
Students interested in enrolling should contact the College as soon as possible. Because
of the great demand for training, the Admissions Office registers students approximately
one month in advance. Students who request admission in an earlier class are placed on
stand-by and enrolled as vacancies occur. All students will be asked to verify enrollment by
mail approximately two weeks prior to the class.
Upon receipt of the Application for Admission, tuition and fees, and proof of high school diploma, GED, or specifically documented ability to benefit by successful completion of Career Programs Assessment Test (CPAT), COMPASS, or other assessments approved by the Department of Postsecondary Education, your name will be placed on the designated roster. Refunds will be made to those requesting cancellation and those that are not accepted into the program. Department of Transportation regulations require all truck driving students undergo drug screening. Since the test will be conducted on the first day of class by an independent health service and not Bevill State, you must be prepared to pay the $30 screening fee(cash or money order, no personal checks). Students testing positive for drugs will be dropped from class.
