Third Party Testing and Endorsements

Everything You Need, All in One Place

At Hawkeye, we make it easier for you to earn your Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), and CDL endorsements. As an approved Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) provider, we can administer the DOT knowledge tests, driving skills tests, and on-road evaluations you need—all in one convenient location.

Our state-of-the-art training facility is designed with you in mind, featuring a dedicated driving range with open areas, a 26-foot-wide road with inclines and turns, classrooms, drive-through truck bays, and virtual driving simulators.

With everything you need in one place, you’ll save time and stay focused on achieving your commercial driving goals.
