A commercial driver's license lets you drive large or specialized vehicles. Class A covers combination vehicles such as tractor-trailers, Class B covers large single vehicles such as straight trucks and buses, and Class C covers some smaller vehicles carrying many passengers or hazardous materials. Which one you need depends on the work you want to do.
Federal rules require entry-level driver training from a provider on the federal Training Provider Registry before you take certain CDL tests. Ask any school whether it is listed there, and check the registry yourself.
