The
Commercial Truck Driving Program qualifies students to be tested by the
State of Maine Department of Motor Vehicles for a commercial
tractor-trailer driver's license (CDL Class A). Instruction is based on
state laws, industry regulations, and equipment maintenance required for
licensing. The Commercial Truck Drivers Manual and the Professional
Truck Driving Institute of America handbook/workbook are used as texts
for the course. State standards for classroom and driving instruction
are adhered to during the course. Students spend a good part of
instructional time driving tractor trailer rigs in skills practice, over
the road experience, and transporting many types of loads. Students
that successfully complete the program will possess entry level skills
required by the trucking industry and are able to use the school's truck
and trailer to test for licensing. The employment success rate for
students completing the course is very high. Students must have a valid
Maine driver's license and must be seventeen years of age. Outcomes:
Competency Certificate, Skill Profile, Maine Commercial Drivers License
Class A with endorsements.
