First — where are you?

How old are you?

18 lets you drive commercially inside Washington. 21 is required to cross state lines.

Under 18 18 to 20 21 or older

Which describes you right now?

This decides which programs can pay for your training. It is the single most useful thing you can tell us.

Laid off, or on unemployment Working, want a change Not working Veteran, or leaving the military Recently released from incarceration Receiving Basic Food (SNAP)

Could you go 4–8 weeks without a paycheck?

If not, employer-paid training is probably a better route than paying tuition.

Yes No Not sure

Are you a US citizen or lawful permanent resident?

Washington has suspended CDL processing for everyone else. We would rather tell you now than after you have paid.

Yes No Rather not say

Do you need childcare to attend?

There is help for this, but it depends on where you enroll.

Yes No

What that means

Because paying up front would be hard — start here

This is navigation, not a determination. Confirm every result with the administering agency before making a decision. The one thing worth doing first is calling a WorkSource center — before you enrol or pay anything, because paying first can disqualify you.
