Behind-the-Wheel Program

The Behind-the-Wheel Course is specially designed truck driver training for those students who are looking to save money and already possess a Class “A” commercial permit. This course is very similar to the Truck Driver Training Program; however this is 120 hours and does not include the classroom portion of the training.

The entire training is “hands on”. Students will review:

• Pre-trip inspection
• Backing and docking technique
• Defensive driving techniques
• City and highway driving and how it relates to DOT safety rules and regulations
• Up-shifting and down-shifting
• Emergency procedures
• Hooking and unhooking of trailers
• Invaluable critiques from our instructors
