The college is offering a 16 week, competency based, nights and weekends, tractor-trailer driver training program that focuses on both classroom work and in-the-vehicle training time. After hours of driving time plus lab, lecture, and range time, participants master a wide range of driver competencies and become safe, comfortable, confident drivers. When trainees have mastered driver competencies and earned their CDL’s, they begin working in the industry, often having lined-up a job before finishing the course. Training topics include trip planning, maintaining daily logs, handling cargo, cargo documentation, employer relations, and public relations. The course covers written and practical tests. Students who complete the CDL A training earn a certificate of course completion and receive assistance in job-seeking skills and job placement. Even though the course is currently a non-credit course, participants are graded on attendance, understanding regulations, keeping log books, pre-trip inspection, range skills, and road skills. |

Training applicants must be at least 18 years old, possess a valid driver’s license, have a clean driving record, and possess a high school diploma or a GED. Additionally, before participants can enrolled in the program, the program director must review their driving records to determine their suitability for employment, pass a Department of Transportation (DOT) physical exam, and pass a standard DOT pre-employment drug test. |
