“From beginning to end, Red Hook on the Road delivered on their promises. Thanks to their caring and professional staff, I am now a gainfully employed CDL driver.”
Red Hook on the Road can help you earn your Class B/BPS license and start a new career in commercial driving in New York City.
Commercial driving can mean operating a truck, city bus, school bus, or Access-A-Ride vehicle.

However, every job will require you to have a good understanding of your vehicle and the ability to navigate. That’s what Red Hook on the Road helps you achieve.
Please note that training is for Class B/BPS licenses; we do not provide training for Class A (over the road) trucking licenses.
