O-restriction Removal Course Financing Available
Start CDL's O-Restriction Removal Course is the ideal training program for drivers looking to lift the O-restriction from their Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), allowing them to operate combination vehicles and significantly increasing their job opportunities.
This course is specifically designed for drivers whose CDL carries an O-restriction, which limits them to driving non-trailer commercial vehicles. By completing this training, you will gain the necessary skills and experience to operate combination vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, opening the door to higher-paying and more diverse job opportunities in the trucking industry.
Throughout the course, our experienced instructors provide up to 5 hours of hands-on training, focusing on real-world scenarios involving combination vehicles. You will learn essential skills such as coupling and uncoupling trailers, maneuvering articulated vehicles, handling turns and backing up safely, weight distribution, and ensuring vehicle stability. Safety remains our top priority, and our trainers will guide you through proper procedures for handling different road conditions and trailer types.
In addition to practical training, the O-Restriction Removal Course includes access to our online learning platform, where you can study Pre-Trip Inspection (PTI) procedures for combination vehicles. This online module ensures you understand all safety and operational checks required before hitting the road.
Upon completion of the course, you will be well-prepared to pass the road skills test without the O-restriction, confidently operating combination vehicles and expanding your career opportunities. Take the next step in your trucking career with Start CDL’s O-Restriction Removal Course and unlock new possibilities in the commercial driving industry.
