The government takes truck driving very seriously, which is why you cannot navigate trucks of a certain weight or size without a commercial driver’s license. However, to earn a commercial driver’s license, you must be experienced with the type of truck required for your license. That’s where truck driving school comes in. It can give you the background knowledge you need to succeed at your written exam while offering plenty of truck driving experience.

In New Mexico, the licensure of commercial drivers goes through the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division. They first require you to pass the written test, at which point they give you a CDL learner’s permit. At your trucking school, you can use this learner’s permit to start driving and get comfortable with a variety of driving techniques.

When you have completed your training and you feel ready to take your test, you may return to the MVD and take your skills exam. Passing this can get you a driver’s license that is good for four or eight years, depending on your age.As you begin your career in this growing industry, you may want to prepare by building some connections in the local trucking community. The New Mexico Trucking Association is an excellent resource for local drivers. In addition to offering advocacy services and news updates, the group hosts regular events that can enhance your knowledge or allow you to network with other trucking professionals.

New Mexico Trucking Compliance is another good resource for New Mexico drivers. It offers information on getting tax ID permits, driving laws, new legislature that affects truck drivers, and access to a help forum.
