1. Getting qualified. To become a lorry, bus or coach driver you need to: have a full car licence. be over 18 - but there are some exceptions.
In order to become a professional truck driver, the main thing youâll need to do is get your Class A CDL license, which is the Commercial Drivers License required to operate Class A motor vehicles (âbig rigsâ). To get the license, youâll need to pass the CDL exam, which can be difficult without the proper training. Plus, even if you somehow do pass the CDL exam without training, most carriers wonât hire you without some experience, like the kind you get from attending a quality, credible CDL training school.
