This primarily includes straight trucks though at the conclusion of the course students can pursue endorsements through the DMV that would allow operation of snowplows, fuel trucks, school and tour buses. There is a demand for licensed commercial drivers and your earnings potential is high. The average hourly wage for CDL drivers in Vermont is almost $25 per hour.
