The Hot Shot CDL Program is a 40-hour course designed especially for drivers seeking a Class A Restricted Commercial Driver's License. This training is specifically for drivers who will operate a CMV with an automatic transmission and no airbrakes, often referred to as a Hot Shot License. Although this is a Class A CDL, it has specific equipment restrictions (E,L,O restrictions), it does not qualify a driver to operate a tractor trailer combination, a CMV with a manual transmission or a CMV with airbrakes.
