Graduates of the curriculum are qualified to take the Commercial Driver\u2019s License Exam and gain employment with commercial trucking firms. They may also become owner-operators and work as private contract haulers.<\/p>\n<p>The next class with available space begins August 10, 2020 (daytime), and September 3, 2020 (evening).

Motivated by the trade\u2019s perpetual job opportunities and flexibility and the program\u2019s reputation and affordability, Morgan was confident in his investment and through the program\u2019s evening class was able to manage a day job and class in the evening. For just under $500 and less than ten weeks\u2019 time, Morgan was able to successfully learn how to maneuver a 53-ft tractor-trailer and obtain his Class A CDL. \u201cThe first week, you\u2019re like a scared child behind the wheel of a 53-ft tractor-trailer,\u201d said Morgan. \u201cThen, once you graduate, your head\u2019s big now and you\u2019re a confident, grown man!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wilmington, NC \u2013 Cape Fear Community College is pleased to announce that 19 truck driver training students successfully graduated from the program Friday, August 7, 2020.
