Entry Level Driver Training

While it is true that new drivers are required to have formal training, they do not have to have to attend a 160 hour course. Our CDL training is proficiency-based according to FMCSA requirements, meaning they can get to work quicker. We work with employers to get their new drivers the training that they need to not only be safe on the road, but also satisfy Federal Requirements.

From the FMCSA:

"There is no required minimum number of instruction hours for theory training, but the training instructor must cover all topics set forth in the curriculum. There is no required minimum number of instruction hours for BTW (range and public road) training, but the training instructor must cover all topics set forth in the BTW curriculum. BTW training must be conducted in a CMV for which a Class A CDL is required."

Training is completed at your facility with your equipment when it is convenient for you, including nights and weekends.

We proudly utilize the most up-to-date training materials from the biggest leaders in CDL training in the nation as well as years of experience from our instructors. All of our instructors are CVTA certified Senior Master Instructors. We have 50+ years of combined training and trucking experience.
