Program Description

This 12-quarter credit, 225 clock hour program prepares the student for a career in Commerical Truck Driving. Students will study the Department of Transportation and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rules and regulations, to prepare them for a career as a commerical driver for tractor/trailer trucks. The course material presented in the Class "A" CDL preparatory program is designed to prepare students to take and pass the Commerical Driver's License exam. The graduate will have sufficient skills and knowledge to gain employment as an entry-level Tractor Trailer Driver or Straight Truck Driver. To be eligible for interstate driving individuals must be at least 18 years of age. The training consists of a combination of classroom instruction, hands-on training on a practice driving range and hands-on training on public roads. The curriculum focuses on the guidelines established by the Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT) of safe operating procedures, basic and advanced operating practices, vehicle systems and reporting malfunctions, pre-post trip inspections, complete logbooks, cargo handling, accident procedures, driving techniques and effectively managing driving conditions.
Students must pass both the written and skills tests by the Department of Transportation to obtain their class "A" license and to fulfill graduation requirements. The program is primarily designed to allow a CDL graduate for entry-level opportunities.

If a student were to fail the written exam or practical skills exam, tutoring assistance will be available. Students will be given up to three (3) opportunties to pass the written exam. Students are required to pass the written exam and obtain their CDL permit to advance to the practical skills testing and on-the-road training. If this section cannot be completed after the third attempt, the student will be terminated from the program and the student would be refunded excess monies based off the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Sate Board of the Private Licensed Schools refund policy.
As per the Federal Regulations of Commerical Drivers Title 49 CFR 383 and 391.11 applicants must be at least 18 years old to drive trucks within the state borders. To be eligible for interstate driving applicants must be at least 21 years of age.
