Global CDL Driver Training School (licensed on Pennsylvania's official roster as Global CDL Academy) is a Philadelphia truck-driving school licensed at 9430 State Road (listed by the state as relocating soon), with training locations at 8501 Hegerman Street in Northeast Philadelphia and on Torresdale Avenue. It appears on the Pennsylvania State Board of Private Licensed Schools' roster of licensed CDL training providers — the only entities legally permitted to deliver federally required entry-level driver training (ELDT) in the state — and awards a diploma on completion. The Class A program combines classroom lessons with 120 or more behind-the-wheel hours (program materials list 170 to 220 total hours over roughly 5 to 8 weeks depending on track), while the Class B program runs 115 hours over 4 weeks, with 35 classroom hours and 80 driving hours. The school accepts CDL-A learner's permits from all states, offers Russian-language instruction with the final test in English, provides one-on-one driving instruction options, and also runs CDL skills testing, online ELDT theory, and hazmat theory courses. Financing is available for qualified students, and the school serves Greater Philadelphia, Chester and Delaware counties, and South Jersey.
