CDL Schools in Vermont: Behind-the-Wheel Training

About CDL training in Vermont

Vermont's registered locations are spread one to a town, from Bennington and Rutland up to Newport, rather than clustered in a single city. Drivers near the state line often compare them with schools in New Hampshire and upstate New York; the registry records a completion the same way wherever you train.

Of the 12 VT locations on the registry, 8 (67%) are registered for Class A training, 11 (92%) for Class B, 6 for the passenger (P) endorsement and 5 for school bus (S); 3 also hold hazmat (H) theory, which has no driving portion, so the hazmat endorsement course can be taken online. 1 of the names is a school district, transit agency, college or other public body, which often trains only its own drivers, so the number open to the public may be smaller.

Where each class is taught: Class A in Barre (1), Bennington (1) and Berlin (1); Class B in Bennington (1), Berlin (1) and Chester (1); the passenger (P) endorsement in Bennington (1), Hardwick (1) and Jericho (1); school bus (S) in Bennington (1), Hardwick (1) and Jericho (1).

10 of the 12 list a phone number and 7 publish a website. 0 records were updated by the provider in 2026 and 12 carry an older date; the newest VT record (Pro Driver Training) is from December 2025. Treat an old date as a reason to call first, not as proof that a school has closed.

The locations are spread over 12 cities, one location each in Barre (1), Bennington (1), Berlin (1), Chester (1) and Hardwick (1). Also listed: Irasburg (1), Jericho (1), Milton (1), Morrisville (1), Newport (1), Rutland (1) and West Rutland (1). Each city heading below is a jump link, and every card shows the classes that location is registered for.

No registered location is listed in Burlington, South Burlington or Essex; use the ZIP search for the closest one.

Before behind-the-wheel in Vermont

Schools in Vermont can only put you on the range once you hold a Commercial Learner's Permit from the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Federal rules then require at least 14 days with the permit before the skills test, and the agency must see both your theory and your behind-the-wheel completions in the FMCSA registry before it gives you that test. So finish theory first, with any registered provider, then bring the permit to one of the 12 VT locations on this page (8 of them train Class A).

The Vermont ELDT guide covers the VT permit steps, agency fees and testing rules, and the online theory part costs $20 per course.
