CDL Training Done Right in Virginia.

CDL PowerSuite helps Virginia CDL schools, community colleges, employers, and public agencies streamline training, document it correctly, and stay compliant with both federal FMCSA ELDT rules and Virginia's state-specific requirements, including Virginia DMV Class A driver training school licensing, DMV instructor licensing under 24VAC20-121, and audit-ready student records, while reducing admin work.

Program Efficiency

Designed for all roles, so your program runs faster.

Most CDL programs fail on documentation, not training.

  • Records are scattered
  • ELDT/BTW tracking is manual
  • Evaluations aren't consistent
  • Proof takes too long to produce
  • Instructor certification documentation is incomplete

What it takes to stay compliant in Virginia.

  • FMCSA ELDT and the Training Provider Registry (TPR) set the federal baseline for entry-level drivers. Every provider self-certifies its curriculum and lists on the registry, and a Virginia school cannot put a trainee through the skills test until a TPR completion record is on file under 49 C.F.R. Part 380.
  • Virginia DMV Class A driver training school licensing governs any business that charges a fee to deliver CDL training. Schools are licensed, bonded, and inspected under Chapter 17 of Title 46.2 (§§ 46.2-1701 and 46.2-1708) and 24VAC20-121, must hold a TPR number before training, and must deliver the state's minimum 120-hour course (40 classroom and 80 in-vehicle).
  • Virginia DMV instructor licensing covers the theory and behind-the-wheel instructors who teach the course. Each instructor is licensed under 24VAC20-121-180, holds a valid nonrestricted interstate CDL with matching classes and endorsements, and is filed with the employing school, with DMV authorized to impose a civil penalty up to $1,000 under § 46.2-1705 for violations.
