Truck Driving Weekend Course

The Weekend Course is very similar to the Night Course. It is personalized truck driver training, and you will obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL) in just five weekends.

Class hours are: Saturday and Sunday, 8:00am - 5:00pm

The first week of training is a combination of classroom training and field training. Some of the topics include:

Safety techniques
In-depth study of DOT safety, rules and regulations
Preparation for the six test that all California State Commercial Drivers (DMV) need to pass before getting behind the wheel
Practice proper log book procedures
Job search techniques.

The next four weeks of training are all hands on, behind-the-wheel training. Students will learn:

Pre-trip examination
Backing and docking techniques
Defensive driving techniques
City and highway driving and how it relates to safety
Up-shifting and down-shifting
Emergency procedures
Hooking and unhooking of trailers
Training in a variety of trucks
Invaluable critiques and guidance from our professional instructors.
