Vets to Trucks Program
The Vets-2-Trucks program helps Colorado residents who are currently serving in the military, close to being discharged or have been recently discharged (within one year) qualify for a Colorado CDL. The Vets-2-Trucks program waives the drive skills testing requirement, but requires individuals to successfully pass the written exams.
