Class A CDL Driving
Heavy truck and tractor-trailer drivers with a commercial driver’s license (CDL) transport goods from one location to another. Driver schedules can vary widely depending on the type of route they travel. Drivers can travel local routes that can be completed within a day, or they can be assigned to longer trips that span several states and require several days on the road. Commercial drivers are required to adhere to state and federal safety regulations, and perform a variety of functions aside from driving. Drivers are responsible for securing cargo for transport, inspecting their vehicles before and after a trip, identifying and reporting mechanical problems, and maintaining a log of their hours.
At Professional Skills Institute, you will gain valuable tools and training including:
Introduction and Basic Operation
This course begins by preparing students for the written portion of the CDL test, which is required to obtain a CDL Learner’s Permit, which is necessary for the on-road portion of the program. In addition, students will begin hands-on practice, in our driving range, with commercial vehicles, including vehicle inspections and practice backing, parking, and basic driving skills.
Road and Range
This course continues the hands-on practice of commercial truck driving. Students complete inspections and practice backing, parking, and driving skills. Students complete skills both on the range and out on the road, including night driving. Students prepare for the skills and driving portions of the Commercial Driver’s License exam.
