Truck Driving

About

New Program scheduled to begin Fall 2025

The Truck Driving Program prepares individuals to build skills in safety practices, operation, vehicle maintenance, and non-vehicle activities associated with truck driving. Instruction includes the operation of vehicles on the interstate, on two-lane highways, in the city, backing and maneuvering. Also included are recordkeeping, and performing pre-trip/post-trip inspections and defensive driving.

The course is structured to emulate, as closely as possible, the normal day to day accountabilities of an over the road truck driver. The information presented prepares the student to pass the written and skills portion of the commercial driver’s license (CDL) examination.
