Truck Driver Training Program

Truck drivers deliver everything from automobiles to canned foods. Firms of all types rely on trucks for pickup and delivery of goods since no other form of transportation can deliver goods door to door.

Local Opportunities

Truck drivers and driver/sales workers hold more than 22,000 jobs in our area, with growth expected to continue.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THE PROGRAM

State and federal regulations govern the qualifications and standards for truck drivers. The CDL Training: Class A Truck driver training curriculum provides students with training to inspect and operate tractor-trailers and to assume driver responsibilities on the road and at pickup/delivery points. Emphasis is placed on vehicle inspections, defensive driving, range maneuvers, motor carrier safety regulations (DOT 380 -397 and a certificate for entry level drivers), trip planning, cargo handlings, size/weight laws, general maintenance procedures, hours of service, and accident prevention.

State and federal regulations dictate that drivers of trucks designed to carry 26,000 pounds or more must obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL) from the state of residence. Once you complete the program, you may qualify for a Class A CDL by passing the written test and demonstrating safe operation of a commercial truck.
