What you will learn?

Entry Level Driver Training Theory (ELDT)

Federal and state regulations have prescribed that the online CDL Class B theory course covers all necessary topics and that the student learns the respective road rules, signals, and safety standards for the commercial vehicle. The defensive driving techniques, emergency response procedures, and cargo handling basics plus trip planning, have also been included in the program.

Driving Simulator

Working on a modern driving simulator will precede and follow your driving of a real Class B vehicle. This kind of training allows you to safely practice core abilities starting, stopping, shifting, turning, parking, and moving through or around close areas or complicated situations.

Air-Brake System

You will be enlightened about the air brake system’s workings, how to spotair leaks or malfunctioning parts and the whole procedure of performing a successful pre-trip brake inspection.

Pre-Trip Inspection (PTI)

Our trainers will guide you through every detail and the sequence of vehicle inspection — starting from engine, tires, and brakes to lights, suspension, and (if applicable) coupling systems — thus making sure that your vehicle is both safe and conforming to standards before it hits the road.

Yard and City Driving

You will have practical driving experience both in a safe yard and in the city. At the yard, you will perform backing, parallel parking, and positioning kinds of training. When driving in the city, you will master how to handle traffic, control intersections, make safe turns, and obey all road rules under real-world conditions.

Final Exam

The last stage in the process of obtaining your Commercial Driver’s License Class B is the CDL skills test. This test consists of a vehicle inspection, basic control maneuvers, and an on-road driving test. Passing it does not only mean you succeeded but also you are certified to drive as a Class B commercial driver.

My experience with the school was amazing. Communication was great, and the instructors were very knowledgeable. The way they teach is easy to understand, and many instructors speak several languages, which helps a lot. I had no problems at all and would gladly recommend this school to others.
